The 2015 NFL Draft is in the books and Detroit Lions general manager Martin Mayhew was able to fill a number of holes on the roster.
The four biggest areas of need entering the draft – guard, defensive tackle, running back and cornerback – where filled in the first four picks.
Mayhew was able to trade back and acquire picks, and then use those picks – and a future pick – to move up and get players he wanted.
Did best player available align with filling needs in this draft?
“This was a case I think a lot of times where the need met up with the right grade on a player,” Mayhew said.
