Going into last month’s NFL draft, the position of wide receiver was arguably the great single team need for the Detroit Lions. Yet, the new regime in the Motor City refused to address that need until day three of the annual collegiate selection event.
And while the selection of USC wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown in the fourth round seems to have been well-received, the Lions failed to land a marquee name that will likely leave this group going into the regular season as the lowest-ranked receiver corps in the NFL.
