How does the FBS’ all time leader in career receptions end up going in the 2^nd round? Well lack of size was one problem for Ryan Broyles, but a torn ACL was another. If Broyles can stay healthy, he could be a steal for the Lions, who hope he can be a dynamic receiver out of the slot for them long term with Calvin Johnson and Titus Young on the outside.

He ran in the low 4.6s, high 4.5s at his Pro Day earlier in April and is still rehabbing and Head Coach Jim Schwartz said he could be ready for week 1. The Lions would not be wise to rush him back, however, as Broyles would likely start his career as the #4 receiver either way, behind Johnson, Young, and veteran Nate Burleson. It seems like Broyles will have to wait until 2013, when Burleson could be gone, to have any sort of major impact.
