Will review this. BeanieFan11 (talk) 16:01, 28 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Hey man im josh: Looking at the link, I see Wojciechowicz (1), Graham (2), Tittle (3), Karras (4), B. Sanders (5), Johnson (6), Stanfel (7), Biletnikoff (8), Barney (9), Lary (10), C. Sanders (11), Christiansen (12), Schmidt (13), Speedie (14) and Creekmur (15). Am I missing something? BeanieFan11 (talk) 16:59, 29 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

@BeanieFan11: Looks like it was me who was missing something. I believe I accidently counted Doak Walker, who wasn't actually drafted by the Lions. I've updated this nom and the article appropriately. I also updated the DYK statement's wikilinking (but not the wording outside of the number of players).
