If there is one position the Lions have an abundance of, it has to be tight end.
With the 8th overall selection in the 2019 NFL Draft, they selected TJ Hockenson. Also on the roster at tight end are Jerome Cunningham, Jesse James, Isaac Nauta and Logan Thomas.
According to Justin Rogers of the Detroit News, the Lions have traded tight end Michael Roberts to the New England Patriots for a late round draft pick.
The Detroit Lions are trading tight end Michael Roberts to the Patriots for a future, late-round draft pick.
— Justin Rogers (@Justin_Rogers) June 13, 2019Detroit drafted Roberts in the fourth round of the 2017 NFL Draft. He had 9 catches for 100 yards and 3 touchdowns last season.
Roberts' a fourth-round pick in 2017, flashed some potential at various points during his two-plus years here, but couldn't seem to maintain his momentum, often due to injuries. Lions added four TEs this offseason while overhauling the room. Overhaul complete.

Do you like this move for the Lions?
