Tight end one of the deepest position groups in the draft

MOBILE, Ala. – Tight end Eric Ebron set career highs with 61 receptions for 711 yards this past season. Both marks ranked in the top 10 among NFL tight ends.

Detroit’s other three tight ends – Clay Harbor, Cole Wick and Matthew Mulligan – combined to catch just six passes for 45 yards, however.

With Harbor, Mulligan and Tim Wright (spent 2016 on IR with knee injury) slated to become free agents this offseason, the Lions could potentially be in the market for a tight end to pair with Ebron at some point in the draft.
