Offseason running back roster: Kerryon Johnson, D'Andre Swift, Jamaal Williams, Nick Bawden (FB), Jason Cabinda (FB)

Tim Twentyman's take: The good thing about owning pick No. 257 is it essentially means the Lions can draft whoever would have been a priority free agent for them after the draft. Jefferson averaged 5.7 yards per carry as a three-year starter, with 27 touchdowns.

Mike O'Hara's take: A possible addition for depth if he makes the roster. Only 43 receptions in three seasons, with an average of just over seven yards per catch.
