The NFL Draft is all about risk versus reward. Teams spend their draft capital looking for players that can make an impact for them in the near future. The Detroit Lions had a deep draft class in 2019, and there are plenty of players looking to earn a role on this team.
The gem of the class in T.J. Hockenson. While the eighth overall pick might be rich for a tight end, there’s no question that Hockenson brings an instant upgrade to the Lions’ offense as both a receiver and blocker. He has the potential to be one of the best tight ends in the league, and his early work is promising.
