We’re a couple months deep into the Detroit Lions offseason, and we’ve reached a rare lean portion of the NFL news cycle.

In Todd McShay’s new mock draft, the Detroit Lions add pieces on both sides of the ball in equal measure. The Detroit Lions are in as good a spot as any team heading toward the 2023 NFL Draft, with four of the top-55 overall picks, six of the top-81 and the ability to go any
As we begin closing the gap between free agency and the 2023 NFL Draft, analysts are beginning to expand their projections.

After adding much-needed pieces to their secondary in free agency, the Detroit Lions are still looking long-term as they do their pre-draft due diligence. According to Aaron Wilson of KPRC in Houston, the Lions are
Late last week, our own Ryan Mathews penned an interesting article on whether the Detroit Lions should trade up from their pick sixth pick in the 2023 NFL Draft and what it would ultimately cost them. It would be a bold move for the Lions, but one could make the argument that Detroit has afforded…
It’s time for our first NFC North rival to get their crack at the 2023 Pride of Detroit Community Mock Draft. The Chicago Bears have had an active offseason.

It’s uncertain yet feels obvious, as an analyst for Pro Football Focus has made a prediction on Jeff Okudah’s fifth-year option. After two injury-riddled seasons to start his career, the 2022 season was a critical one for Detroit Lions cornerback Jeff Okudah. And for a big portion of it, he played quite well. Then a
With their remaining top need in mind, a remaining top free agent has been easily named a good fit for the Detroit Lions. The Detroit Lions needed to improve their defense this offseason, especially their secondary. They notably refurbished their secondary, signing Cameron Sutton, C.J. Gardner-Johnson and Emmanuel Moseley. As the draft approaches later this
The venerable Peter King thinks Jared Goff is a big factor in the long term future of the Detroit Lions. As the Detroit Lions ripped off eight wins in their last 10 games last season, Jared Goff played very well. He’ll enter the 2023 season with some chance to set the NFL record for pass
The NFL has kept a controversial play in the rule book, but Lions head coach Dan Campbell just sees it as a new challenge for defenses. The Philadelphia Eagles had a lot of success with what’s called the quarterback “push” play last season, as it’s allowed in the NFL rulebook for a runner to be

The C.J. Gardner-Johnson free agent signing was almost as much of a surprise to Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes as it was to fans of his team. At last week’s owners meetings, Holmes explained that they figured Gardner-Johnson was going to be way out of their price range. But as the opening week of…
We’re less than a month away from the 2023 NFL Draft now, and the forecast doesn’t seem to be getting any clearer in regards to what Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes is looking to do with the sixth overall pick.
