This list is based on Green Bay Packers draft picks (1970–present), which was promoted June 3, 2024. I am nominating this for featured list because I believe it meets all the criteria and as part of what I hope to be my first featured topic. This is part 3 of 4 of my work in progress featured topic, which is centered on the recently promoted Detroit Lions draft history. As always, I will do my best to respond quickly to address any and all concerns that are brought up. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:12, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
Support from Gonzo_fan2007
- Support having developed the template for this list, I can state my outright support, as I don't see any deviations and my review did not pick-up any issues. That said, Hey man im josh, any reason for not including the Pride of the Lions in addition to Pro Football Hall of Famers? I'm not very familiar with their ring of honor or Detroit players in general, so more a curiosity than a request. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 17:45, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Gonzo fan2007: Thank you so much for the review and your support (and the format which I obviously store)! I was torn on whether to include the Pride of the Lions, but I opted not to do so for several reasons. One of which is that it does not currently have its own standalone article, though I'm working on solving that. Another reason is that there's currently only 20 people in the Lions' ring of honor, of which 15 are in the HOF, whereas the Packers, as of 2023, had 168 people inducted into their hall, making it more common to have people in their hall but not in the HOF. This part is also more based on "feels", but it feels like the Lions are still catching up on who should/shouldn't be included as well. You'll note that the Pride/ring of honor started in 2009 with the induction of 12 players already in the PFHOF. Again, this is just feels, but it doesn't feel properly representative of franchise legends at this point in time when it leaves out legends such as Herman Moore, Calvin Johnson, Dominic Raiola, and Wayne Walker. They went for the big names right away, but they're still working on better representing the franchise and expanding the ring from my POV. So, tl;dr – feels.

I plan to do an image review in the very near future (probably once I'm finished with a source spotcheck I'm currently conducting for an FAC), but I did a quick skim of the captions and a couple of them seem... odd.
- "Da'Shawn Hand was the Lions' -round selection in the 19 draft."
- "Matthew Stafford was selected first overall in the 2009 Main article: 2009 NFL draft draft."

- @Dylan620: Ugh, those were embarrassing oversights @Dylan620. I've fixed those. The Da'Shawn Hand one was due to not filling out the cookie cutter template I was using for images. The Stafford one was a copy and paste mistake. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:20, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

- Support - nothing that I can think of that requires further improvement after my read and is aligned with similar FLs. Pseud 14 (talk) 15:28, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
