Revisiting the Detroit Lions’ 2015 NFL Draft three years later

The Detroit Lions draft was terrible in 2015. This was general manager Martin Mayhew’s final draft, which befit the apprentice of Matt Millen.

For general manager Bob Quinn and new head coach Matt Patricia, this draft plays out as a lesson. For the Lions to win, they must avoid drafts like this.

Detroit drafted cornerback Quandre Diggs out of Texas in the sixth round with pick number 200 overall. Assessment of Diggs: always been a capable nickel back. Nothing special, but worthy of a roster spot.

That was until this year. Diggs started the last five games at strong safety.
