With their seventh-round selection (No. 235), the Detroit Lions have drafted Ohio State DT Jashon Cornell.

The Lions acquired the pick as part of a trade with the Patriots earlier this offseason. In the deal, Detroit general manager Bob Quinn also landed veteran safety Duron Harmon.

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.

The selection of Cornell marks the end of a highly eventful three days for Quinn and the Lions.

It saw the Lions execute two trades, and acquire a total of nine players, including former Ohio State standout cornerback Jeff Okudah at No. 3 overall.

Who the Lions have picked:

First round, Pick three - Ohio State CB Jeff Okudah
Second round, Pick three (No. 35 overall) - Georgia RB D’Andre Swift
Third round, Pick three (No. 67 overall) - Notre Dame EDGE Julian Okwara
Third round, Pick 11 (No. 75 overall from Colts) - OSU G Jonah Jackson
Fourth round, Pick 15 (No. 121 overall from Raiders) - Kentucky G Logan Stenberg
Fifth round, Pick 20 (No. 166 overall from Eagles) - Wisconsin WR Quintez Cephus
Fifth round, Pick 26 (No. 172 overall from Raiders) - New Mexico State RB Jason Huntley
Sixth round, Pick 18 (No. 197 overall from Colts) - Utah DT John Penisini
Seventh round, Pick 21 (No. 235 overall from Eagles via Patriots) - Ohio State DT Jashon Cornell
