Not unlike most NFL teams over the past decade, the Detroit Lions have had their hits and misses with their first-round draft picks. Since 2010, they have had at least one opening round selection every year, with two coming in 2010. They have been an average team on the field for most of that span, resulting in the majority of their picks coming in the middle section of the round.
In that time, they’ve landed some immediate impact players (Ndamukong Suh), some who failed to make any impact at all (Laken Tomlinson), and some whose careers were cut short by injury (Jahvid Best).
