Now that Travis Swanson has signed with the New York Jets, the Detroit Lions’ 2014 NFL Draft class is almost completely bare. Only Detroit’s fourth (Nevin Lawson) and sixth (TJ Jones) round picks remain from their original eight selections. Gone are Eric Ebron, Kyle Van Noy, Swanson, Larry Webster, Caraun Reid and Nate Freese.
That was a particularly rough draft for the Lions, but they have seen their ups and downs over the past decade on draft day. ESPN’s Michael Rothstein scoured the past 10 years of the Lions draft class and found their best and worst pick since 2008.
