Third-year review on Lions’ 2015 draft: Not good
It’s often said you don’t know what you have with an NFL draft class until three years have passed. With that in mind, and sticking to an annual tradition, I’ve re-evaluated the Detroit Lions’ draft from three years ago, prior to the upcoming round of rookies being added to the roster.
The 2015 draft was Martin Mayhew’s final one as the Lions general manager. Combined with his underwhelming 2014 class, it’s also a good reason he found himself out of the job six months later.
In addition to grading the individual selections, there will also be an overall mark, with the calculation weighing each pick by the draft value chart.
First round, pick No. 28
Guard Laken Tomlinson
Grade: F
