It wasn’t that long ago that I was pounding the table for the Lions draft a tight end in the first round. Okay, so it was five years ago and that tight end was Eric Ebron, but it feels like yesterday.
Maybe I’ve learned my lesson. Or maybe I just don’t want to be burned again, but in 2019 I can’t see any reason the Lions should draft a tight end with their first pick in this draft.
It’s not that there aren’t talented tight ends out there (we’ll get to that in a minute).
