Lions Have Two Top 14 NFL Draft Picks After Poor Start to Season

It might be officially draft season for the Detroit Lions after another poor start.

The entire Detroit Lions organization has been left scratching their heads, after a disappointing performance against the New England Patriots Sunday. 

Lions head coach Dan Campbell expressed the team has hit "rock bottom" already, following Detroit's 29-0 shutout loss to the Patriots. 

Detroit quarterback Jared Goff was asked postgame what the team needs to do in order to right the ship, as the team sits with a record of 1-4 at the bye week. 

"What do we need to do? I mean, a lot of things. I think the thing each person can do and each teammate and coach and everyone can do is look inward and be critical of yourself, instead of critical of others. And not that we're doing that," Goff explained. "That's just the first step, I think, is, you know, see: Where can I get better? Where can I improve? Where can I help our team? And, what have I been doing personally that has held us back in any way, or what can I do more of that I've been doing well that can push us forward? So, find those answers and come back ready to go."

As a result of its poor start to the season, the team sits with two top 14 selections in next year's NFL Draft.

While it is far too early to write off the season, this collection of talent has not given supporters reason to be hopeful.
