Lions go DL in the 4th

The Lions finally addressed their line, one of them at least, by taking small-school defensive tackle prospect Sammie Lee Hill. I'd be lying if I said I knew anything about him other than what I've read on the internet.

He's 6-foot-4 and 329 pounds, which fits the description of a defensive tackle in Jim Schwartz's scheme. At Stillman, he played mostly defensive end, but he projects to the interior line in the NFL.

We should have a teleconference here in a minute and Matt Stafford's press conference is 20 minutes from now. I'll have more updates later.

NFL.com compares Hill to a more consistent Shaun Rogers but he may be a little bit of a project.
