The Detroit Lions have drafted some of the best players in NFL history. They’ve taken Barry Sanders and Calvin Johnson. They made smart choices with Ndamukong Suh and Matthew Stafford. They found Hall of Fame quarterbacks (for other teams) in Y.A. Tittle and Otto Graham and they consistently found players who made strong contributions. That said, the Lions also have made some colossal mistakes in the draft.
