Lions' finally find third receiver in Boldin

It looked like it was going to be Titus Young, but he flamed out in specular fashion. Ryan Broyles, another second-round pick, could never shake the injury bug. Last year, veteran Lance Moore provided a solid, but far from spectacular stopgap.
Detroit obviously had bigger issues at receiver this offseason, with the retirement of Calvin Johnson, but signing Marvin Jones, the top free agent on the market, helped ease that production loss. Still, it left the Lions without a clear third receiving option.
