There are very few absolutes in the NFL, which runs contrary to the sports media/Twitter universe we live in right now. However, nothing exemplifies this more than the NFL Draft, as year after year fans and experts alike are shown just how little they know about potential prospects and team tendencies.
Still, we have the data to be at least slightly informed about what decisions are better than others, and the hope is that teams listen to these numbers to make the right choices on draft night. For organizations like the Detroit Lions, it is absolutely essential that the best decisions are made—and as importantly, the critical mistakes are avoided.
