The Detroit Lions opened Day 3 of the NFL Draft by trading up from the sixth round into the fifth to select LSU offensive lineman Miles Frazier. Detroit gave New England picks 182 and 228 to move up to pick 171 in the fifth round.

Frazier was a three-year starter at LSU, primarily at right guard, but he did take some snaps at right tackle and left guard too. Frazier didn't allow a single sack last season for the Tigers in 13 starts. In fact, he allowed only four sacks in three seasons at LSU.

He's also proved to be extremely dependable during his college career, playing in every game the last four seasons three years at LSU and one at Florida International which was over 3,200 snaps total. He made 51 starts total in college.

Frazier is the second interior offensive lineman the Lions have taken so far in this draft after selecting Georgia's Tate Ratledge in the second round Friday night.
