Bob Quinn and the Detroit Lions headed into the offseason behind the rest of the league. After being quick to send former head coach Jim Caldwell packing, they had to play the waiting game for the New England Patriots season to end in order to hire Matt Patricia as the Lions new head coach.
This of course left the Lions scrambling to try to catch up in their preparation for free agency and the draft.
Then came the release of their much maligned tight end Eric Ebron who could never possibly live up to what Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald has done at a position of need for Detroit or the amazing hands of Giants receiver, Odell Beckham Jr, despite his immaturity, both of whom were selected after Ebron in the 2014 NFL draft.
