The Detroit Lions have announced their 2014 NFL Draft pick, and former Lions running back Barry Sanders read the pick, and they chose North Carolina tight end Eric Ebron. It is a big passing target for Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford. Many thought the Lions would go wide receiver to help out Calvin Johnson and Stafford, but they went with Ebron.

Here is how Twitter reacted:

EBRON A BEAST AND A GREAT FIT FOR THE LIONS

As a Lions sympathizer, I love the Ebron pick. Best TE in the draft.

Wish the Lions got Darqueeze but I actually feel like Ebron will be decent
