The Facts:
With the 54th pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, the Lions select Oklahoma's Broyles. Reported by FootballDiehards.com

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Lions appeared to have greater needs on the defensive side of the ball, but the addition of Broyles adds to an already high-end receiving corps. According to his NFL.com scouting report, Broyles is polished and consistent. He could soon be an NFL starter based on his ball skills and route-running ability alone. His feel for space on the field and knack for understanding defenses boosts his value immensely. Even though he displays premier athletic ability, he certainly doesn't make many plays due to his size (5-8, 192 pounds). Could be a candidate to emerge as the starter opposite Calvin Johnson in time -- Broyles suffered a torn ACL last November -- perhaps even a short time depending on his recovery (Nate Burelson fans should prepare for that eventuality).
