The dust has settled on the 2019 NFL draft, but not for Detroit Lions fans. If anything the dust may have started to just fly.
The Lions used the eighth overall pick to select Iowa tight end T.J. Hockenson then the media and fans alike exploded in a sea of controversy. The reason? Eric Ebron.
That’s right, When commissioner Roger Goodell called out Hockenson’s name, the only thing anyone could hear was Eric Ebron. Tight end is a position that seldom in history has warranted being called early in the draft and in the case of the Lions, it burned them and their fans badly in 2014.
