NFL Draft blog: Lions grab a Wolverine in 3rd round

Live analysis (Draft order/selections below)

The Lions took a local product, but probably not the one most fans wanted as Connor Cook has fallen on hard times in the NFL Draft.

No, the Lions went with center Graham Glasgow out of Michigan, showing a continued effort to beef up their interior on both sides of the ball. This is a solid pick, netting a guy that can push Travis Swanson for the starting center job.

Glasgow is the first Michigan player drafted by the Lions since Jeff Backus in 2001.

Meanwhile, Cook's slide has become the story of the night for the local media.
