The Tigers could draft Dollander, Burns, Beam, Connell, Halvorsen, Sewell, Joyce, Lindsey, Fitzgibbons, Evans, Sechrist, Burke, Moore, Ahuna, Steenstra, Denton, Chambers, Dickey, Scott, Tears, Booker, Merritt, Backus, Stanwich, Chapman, Taylor, Miller, and still wouldn’t be able to save that franchise.
