Of course, adding more good players something this organization badly needs as it turns the page from one of the darkest regimes in Lions history also means some returning players will be displaced. That’s the harsh mathematics of a business defined by roster churn.
Team 90s in this debate includes two Hall of Famers, four 10,000-yard receivers, and
eight Pro Bowlers. The Jets began the draft with Keyshawn Johnson the last receiver to go No. 1 and the Colts grabbed Marvin Harrison with a first-round pick obtained via 1994 s Jeff George trade. A year after trading up for J.J. Stokes, the 49ers found Jerry Rice s true heir apparent in Terrell Owens (Round 3). This class s depth, however, wins out. First-rounder Eric Moulds made three Pro Bowls and took the Bills WR1 baton from Andre Reed; Joe Horn (Round 5) made four as a Saint; Muhsin Muhammad (Round 2) played 14 seasons; the Giants depended on Amani Toomer for over a decade. Also including Terry Glenn, Bobby Engram, and Eddie Kennison, this draft remains the bar 25 years later.
