Grades For the First Round of the 2014 NFL Draft

F. <p>At 6’4″, 265 pounds, tight end Eric Ebron was supposed to come right in and kill it as a rookie. He would have Matthew Stafford at quarterback and Golden Tate and Calivn at receivers too. That’s why the Detroit Lions selected him at No. 10 overall but it didn’t work out that way for him.</p> <p>As a matter of fact, Ebron was actually nowhere to be found on the explosive Lions offense in 2014. Veteran Brandon Pettigrew ended up being the starter at tight end for the Lions last year. Ebron is has good speed for his size but it didn’t show on the field as he struggle with the playoffs.</p> <p>Not knowing what you’re doing will slow you down as it’s been reported that he struggled with the playbook. He also struggled with drops, leading to Stafford trusting him less as the season went on. And that led to him catching only 25 passes for 248 yards and just one touchdown and low marks for the Lions.</p>. TE. Detriot Lions. ERIC EBRON
