Detroit Lions fans know all too well the sad outcome of the 2011 NFL Draft. Few teams have ever had less to show for an entire draft class than what Detroit got from Martin Mayhew’s darkest hour as GM.
Not one player Mayhew selected was still with the team after the 2014 season. Not one player was deemed worthy of a second contract in Detroit.
Most fans know the names in all their ignominy…
- First Round: Nick Fairley
- Second Round: Titus Young
- Second Round: Mikel Leshoure
- Fifth Round: Doug Hogue
- Seventh Round: Johnny Culbreath
While Mayhew wasn’t as active as he was in the 2010 Draft, he still put on his trading hat.
