DT Jashon Cornell Is Latest Pick for Detroit Lions in Seventh Round
With their seventh-round selection (No. 235), the Detroit Lions have drafted Ohio State DT Jashon Cornell.

Cornell suited up for 46 games over his four-year career with the Buckeyes, and produced 13.5 tackles for loss, seven sacks and 63 total tackles.
