The Detroit Lions surprised the NFL community when they reached for Alabama running back Jahmyr Gibbs with the No. 12 pick. We can argue about the wisdom of that pick (it wasn't wise), but it's done and Gibbs is a Lion now. That means that D'Andre Smith is No. 3 on the depth chart and behind Gibbs, who will serve in a similar role as Swift.
Swift has had trouble staying on the field due to injuries and we know how head coach Dan Campbell feels about players who miss a lot of time with injuries. He gets rid of them. He got rid of cornerback Jeff Okudah due to injuries and now it appears Swift is heading out the door.
