With the
76th Pick (technically 75th) in the 2014 Draft, the
Detroit Lions Select:
Position: WR
Player: Paul Richardson
School: Colorado
After shoring up the defensive backfield with Darqueze Dennard and Jimmie Ward, Detroit felt it was time to turn their attention to the Offensive side of the ball. One big piece was missing from this Offense in 2013 and that was a legitimate #2 Receiver who can pull some of the attention away from Megatron. Detroit firmly believes that if Richardson would have returned for his Senior season, he would have been an unquestionable first round talent. He shows all of the capability of becoming the next DeSean Jackson. And that's exactly what this team needs to open up the lanes for Johnson downfield.
