Rogers: Four thoughts on the Lions’ NFL Draft haul (Return of the fullback - In that 2015 draft class, the Lions selected fullback Michael Burton in the fifth round. He did a good job in his role, including special-teams contributions, but the Lions, like many other teams around the NFL, opted to dump the position from the offensive scheme, cutting Burton last May.  That decision is on track to be reversed with the selection of Nick Bawden in the seventh round on Saturday. The lead blocker for a 2,000-yard back each of the past two seasons, he could be a under-the-radar piece to the puzzle as Detroit to seeks long-lost balance on offense.  Even though the Lions largely maintained continuity on the offensive coaching staff this offseason, the potential reincorporation of a fullback has Matt Patricia’s thumbprint on it.  Look to New England, where the fullback remains an integral part of the team’s scheme. In 2012, the team signed James Develin, a former undrafted free agent, and he’s been on the field more than 250 snaps four of the past five seasons, missing the fifth year due to injury.)
