Graham Glasgow from Michigan as mentioned previously was taken in the 3rd round by the Lions and to some this seems like a reach when in fact it looks like a good value pick. Glasgow has some good attributes, he’s an aggressive run blocker consistently paving the way and like Decker is surprisingly quick to the second level. His pass blocking has fallen behind his run blocking but it’s not so bad either.

The 3rd round is probably the right round for Glasgow and may prove to be a steal if he continues his development and shows the toughness and determination we know he has. I would expect him to beat Swanson for the starter job with Swanson recovering from surgery and struggling to cement himself as a quality starter.
