It doesn’t take a rocket scientist like Detroit Lions head coach Matt Patricia to figure out that for a team to have continued success in the NFL, they need to hit on all their draft picks, not just the first round selection.
Part of the reason the Lions have only amassed three wins through 15 weeks is that they have not gotten much production out of their rookie class. First round tight end T.J. Hockenson had a historically successful Week 1, but has gone through some growing pains since then before ultimately being put on IR.
