The Detroit Lions used a sixth-round pick on Boise State DE Ahmed Hassanein but still need another starting-caliber pass rusher.

ALLEN PARK, Mich. — Brad Holmes had Georgia on his mind during the NFL draft. The Detroit Lions' general manager chose three Georgia Bulldogs among his seven picks — guard Tate Ratledge, safety Dan Jackson and wide receiver Dominic Lovett.

The Lions' front office is honoring Holmes, who has been a vocal advocate for HBCUs, ahead of his commencement speech at his alma mater.
