A lot of Detroit Lions‘ social media chatter lately has been about our old friend, Eric Ebron, the former first-round tight end who never lived up to his draft status and eventually played his way out of town.
After looking at the class that he headlined, though, we have to say that the 2014 draft haul was one of the worst in recent Lions history. So, we decided to re-draft the class without moving any spots to see how that class might have been without “Droptimus Prime.”
Obviously, the top pick makes this class look bad but the quality of any draft class is often defined by what you found in the later rounds when general managers really make their money and demonstrate their chops as evaluators and at finding value in the draft.
