Kyle Van Noy has been traded and with it, another second round failure for now-former Detroit Lions general manager Martin Mayhew.
One of Mayhew’s biggest issues as Detroit’s general manager was navigating the second round and with Van Noy shipped off to New England, he joins a list of Titus Young, Mikel Leshoure and Ryan Broyles as second round picks that didn’t reach the end of their rookie contracts with the club. Of Mayhew's second round picks, only Darius Slay and Louis Delmas reached second contracts with the team and only Slay and Ameer Abdullah are still with the club.
