Detroit Lions draft A'Shawn Robinson with pick 46

With the fifteenth pick of the second round, the Detroit Lions have added Alabama defensive tackle A'Shawn Robinson.

Fantasy Impact:

Robinson is a well-regarded run stopper with an impressive build and will add serious toughness to the interior of Detroit's defensive line, which is currently manned by several inexperienced tackles and an aging Haloti Ngata. While he isn't an incredibly aggressive pass rusher, the Lions can rely on for first-round choice Ezekiel Ansah for sack production, and will lean on Robinson to help them return to their league-leading 2014 defensive form. Robinson was commonly regarded as a first-round pick, and is a serious value at number 46 overall.
