1. CB Josh Okonye
2. OT Beau Nunn
3. WR Brian Brown
4. CB Sterling Moore
5. OL Jamar McGloster

19. RB Dwayne Washington
20. C Wes Johnson
21. QB Jake Rudock

Rudock, 25, is a former sixth-round pick by the Lions of the 2016 NFL Draft. Detroit elected to waive him as they trimmed down to the 53-man limit at the start of the 2016 season and they signed him to their practice squad after clearing waivers.

Rudock managed to make the 53-man roster last season. He received a one-year, $630,000 contract from the Lions for the 2018 season as an exclusive rights free agent.

In 2017, Rudock appeared in three games for the Lions and completed three of five pass attempts for 24 yards and an interception.
