With the options all they’ll have, a former NFL general manager thinks the Detroit Lions should take one of the top cornerbacks in the 2022 class second overall. The Detroit Lions could have an easy decision with the second overall pick next Thursday night, if Michigan defensive end Aidan Hutchinson is available. But if he’s

There’s plenty of 2022 breakout buzz and potential for D’Andre Swift, but he was No. 1 among NFL running backs in one deeper stat last year.

It was probably inevitable and reported to be happening, but Michigan defensive end Aidan Hutchinson made his pre-draft visit to the Lions facility on Monday.

For most of the offseason, and once compensatory picks were officially doled out, the Detroit Lions possessed nine picks in the 2022 NFL Draft.

Particularly in comparison to another team, the Detroit Lions clearly did it right to start their rebuild in 2021 rather than waiting. A little over a year ago now, the Detroit Lions were in a tough spot. With a new general manager and head coach, theey also had a veteran quarterback in Matthew Stafford who

The Detroit Lions really can’t go too wrong with whatever they do with their two first-round picks, but Chad Reuter of NFL.com has offered his ‘ideal’ scenario.

Matt Patricia’s duties back with the New England Patriots are broad-based, apparently now including involvement in trades.

As trade speculation surfaces again, the Detroit Lions make absolutely no sense as a landing spot for Kyler Murray. Here we go again.
