Detroit Lions 2018 NFL Draft tracker and highlights
With a new head coach running the show, the Detroit Lions enter the 2018 NFL Draft ready to revive the organization
The Detroit Lions haven’t won a playoff game since the 1991 season and have missed the playoffs for the second time in three years. With a renewed sense of hope, Detroit is in a great position during the 2018 NFL Draft holding the 20th overall pick.
If a run on quarterbacks hits the top-15 picks the Lions could be looking at some of their top targets falling to them late in the first round. Will they find a franchise running back or find an heir to Ziggy Ansah, who will play next season on the franchise tag?
