Lions' Best & Worst Draft Picks: Megatron vs. Mike Williams

0:00It's April 20th, NFL News. Today starts now, AI-powered and game ready. I'm Cory with the story. CVS sports writer Brian D'Ardo just dropped his list of the best and worst draft picks for all 32 NFL teams over the past 25 years. For the Detroit Lions, the best pick stands out clear as day. Wide receiver Calvin Johnson taken second overall in 2007 out of Georgia. Johnson built a legendary career in Detroit, racking up four all pro nods, six pro bowls, and a spot on the all-decade team for the 2010s. He wrapped up with 748 catches, 11,915 yards, and 85 touchdowns over nine seasons. Fans loved this choice because Johnson, aka Megatron, is one of the greatest receivers ever, even edging out Matthew Stafford on the list. He got into the Hall of Fame at just 35. Led the league in receiving two years straight and shattered Jerry Rice's single season record with.

1:001,964 yards in 2012. On the flip side, the worst pick was wide receiver Mike Williams, grabbed tenth overall in 2005 from USC. He only managed 37 catches in two years with the Lions before bouncing, though he had one decent year later with Seattle. As the 20-26 draft kicks off in Pittsburgh this week, Lions fans are crossing fingers for more hits like Johnson, and zero flops from that. Matt Miller and Aaron Mess.
