Mel Kiper: Eric Ebron a 'glorified wide receiver' for the Detroit Lions
Posted May 9, 2014
The Detroit Lions didn't trade up for Sammy Watkins, or even Mike Evans. They just acquired a "glorified wide receiver" in North Carolina's Eric Ebron with the 10th overall pick, says ESPN analyst Mel Kiper Jr. Ebron, officially listed as a tight end, rarely plays along the line of scrimmage. Said NFL Network's Steve Mariucci: "Matthew Stafford is the luckiest guy in the world right now."
