The Detroit Lions used a fifth-round selection in the 2020 NFL Draft to take advantage of one of the deepest wide receiver classes in recent memory.
The 2020 NFL Draft class was believed to be stacked with wide receivers. ESPN draft guru Mel Kiper was amazed by the depth of position, even noting that there would be some really good players who would fall to the fifth round. The Detroit Lions actually ended up drafting one of those fifth-round receivers.
The Lions made Wisconsin wide receiver Quintez Cephus the 166th overall selection in this year’s draft.
