GM Martin Mayhew traded for Haloti Ngata and signed Walker as a non-tendered restricted free agent.

Overrated to underrated: NFL stars who have experienced the career shift (Eric Ebron, TE, Detroit Lions: Life can be rough for rookie tight ends. In the Super Bowl era, a mere two first-year players at the position have topped 55 receptions (Keith Jackson and Jeremy Shockey), and no rookie TE has ever hit the 900-yard mark. Ebron was not even in the ballpark for either stat—he wrapped a miserable 2014 with 25 catches for 248 yards and one touchdown. Hardly justification for being selected No. 10 overall and far from the impact Detroit hoped for inside the red zone. The 2015 season should be better for him, incrementally if not exponentially. Ebron, who has been working with QB Matthew Stafford this off-season, again will join Brandon Pettigrewand Joseph Fauria in the Lions' TE rotation. Pettigrew remains a block-first option while Fauria failed to follow up on a surprising seven-touchdown rookie year. Ebron has a chance to be the go-to tight end on a team desperate for another downfield option alongside Calvin Johnson and Golden Tate.): http://www.si.com/nfl/2015/07/06/nfl-overrated-to-underrated-players-mike-wallace-ryan-mathews

NFL Divisional Power Rankings: NFC South not the worst (3. NFC North: The NFC North is one of only two divisions -- along with the NFC East -- that's sent all four teams to the playoffs at least one time over the past five years. That means the division has been consistent, but for some reason, consistent also means crazy in the NFC North. The Bears, Vikings and Lions were unable to crack the .500 mark in the season after they made the playoffs and all three of those teams have hired a new coach since the beginning of 2014. The reason the NFC North is ranked so high is because there's no horrible team and there's one really good team. I'll let you guess who that is and remember to answer in the form of a question.

Best wide receiver in the NFL today? (Casserly and Brandt both pick CJ. Casserly - Calvin Johnson's still the top dog out wide. Calvin Johnson is still the best receiver in the NFL, at least in my opinion. He had a "down year" in 2014 ... and still racked up 71 catches for 1,077 yards and eight touchdowns (in just 13 games, to boot). Johnson is still at an age (29) where he can be a top receiver. When healthy, he still will force double-coverage because of his size and wingspan (which help on the deep ball and in the red zone), as well as his exceptional hands. Brandt - Megatron is the perfect specimen at wide receiver. Calvin Johnson ceded part of the spotlight in Detroit last season to Golden Tate, who proved capable of carrying the load while Megatrondealt with injury. But if Johnson is fully healthy this season, no one can match his combination of ability, speed and size. He has everything you need to be a successful receiver in the NFL.): http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000499343/article/calvin-johnson-dez-bryant-or-antonio-brown-best-receiver-in-the-nfl
Head coach power rankings: Who's No. 1? No. 32? (16. Jim Caldwell, Detroit Lions: To be blunt, the reaction to last offseason's hiring of Caldwell was less than enthusiastic. It felt like analysts and fans alike chalked up his Super Bowl appearance with the Colts to the presence of Peyton Manning. After Manning was hurt, Indy tanked. Then Caldwell took over a Lions team that had gone 11-21 the previous two seasons. All the mild-mannered coach did was turn Detroit around, making what tended to usually be one of the league's worst teams down the stretch into a sturdy 11-5 playoff club.): http://www.nfl.com/photoessays/0ap3000000499554/nfl-coach-power-rankings

Best wide receiver in the NFL today? (Casserly and Brandt both pick CJ. Casserly - Calvin Johnson's still the top dog out wide. Calvin Johnson is still the best receiver in the NFL, at least in my opinion. He had a "down year" in 2014 ... and still racked up 71 catches for 1,077 yards and eight touchdowns (in just 13 games, to boot). Johnson is still at an age (29) where he can be a top receiver. When healthy, he still will force double-coverage because of his size and wingspan (which help on the deep ball and in the red zone), as well as his exceptional hands. Brandt - Megatron is the perfect specimen at wide receiver. Calvin Johnson ceded part of the spotlight in Detroit last season to Golden Tate, who proved capable of carrying the load while Megatrondealt with injury. But if Johnson is fully healthy this season, no one can match his combination of ability, speed and size. He has everything you need to be a successful receiver in the NFL.): http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000499343/article/calvin-johnson-dez-bryant-or-antonio-brown-best-receiver-in-the-nfl
Head coach power rankings: Who's No. 1? No. 32? (16. Jim Caldwell, Detroit Lions: To be blunt, the reaction to last offseason's hiring of Caldwell was less than enthusiastic. It felt like analysts and fans alike chalked up his Super Bowl appearance with the Colts to the presence of Peyton Manning. After Manning was hurt, Indy tanked. Then Caldwell took over a Lions team that had gone 11-21 the previous two seasons. All the mild-mannered coach did was turn Detroit around, making what tended to usually be one of the league's worst teams down the stretch into a sturdy 11-5 playoff club.): http://www.nfl.com/photoessays/0ap3000000499554/nfl-coach-power-rankings
