The Good, the Bad and the Ugly: A Decade of Detroit Lions Drafts

Mon, 07 Mar 2011 15:00:49 +0000

Detroit Lions fans were in draft mode immediately following the win over the Minnesota Vikings in week 17. A four game winning streak has done that for all of us Lions addicts. Who else can we get to come in here? There has been a lot of talk since the end of the season about who the Lions should grab in the draft to help rebuild this team. I thought it would be interesting to take a peek at the last ten years of the draft from a Lions perspective to determine who the best picks and the worst picks have been, round by round.

Being that Matt Millen was doing the drafting for the majority of this time it should come as no surprise that the list of “worst” picks is considerably longer then the list for “best” picks. In some cases the “best” pick wasn’t a very good player or didn’t turn out to be a good player. In some cases the “best” pick might have been a great pick but just didn’t pan out. This list demonstrates just how good or bad a pick can be. We start with round seven and work our way to round one.
