NFL-wide QB status: Who's set under center? Who needs help? (The wildcards - Detroit Lions: General manager Bob Quinn made it clear the Lions would think about picking a passer at No. 8 in the draft, saying: "If there's a quarterback out there that we deem could help us this year or in the future, we'll never close the door on that." That's how you wind up in the wild-card tab of this wayward essay. Matthew Stafford is hardly Detroit's biggest issue -- instead, he's a solid veteran who just turned 31 -- but the Lions have made just three playoff appearances, all losses, during his decade as starter.):  http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001019011/article/nflwide-qb-status-whos-set-under-center-who-needs-help

Targets and draft needs for all 32 teams at the 2019 NFL combine (Detroit Lions -Edge rusher. Detroit's most significant need has been and continues to be a player who can get pressure on quarterbacks from the edge. Detroit's two most explosive defensive ends -- Ezekiel Ansah and Romeo Okwara -- might not return. Ansah is an unrestricted free agent; Okwara is a restricted free agent. With this being a strong draft for front-seven players, the Lions should be looking across all rounds to find edge-rush talent that would fit coach Matt Patricia's scheme. The first round will garner the most attention, though, and players such as Josh Allen and Clelin Ferrell will be players to look at in the No. 8 spot.

Jeremiah sees the pass rusher as a top-20 pick, and the conversation begins with Detroit's pick at No. 8. ... The second day of the draft could be the right time for the Lions to dip into what is considered a very strong tight end class -- perhaps with Kahale Warring of San Diego State, or Stanford's Kaden Smith.  "[Smith] probably has more contested catches than anyone in the draft," Jeremiah said. "He's not going to run away from a ton of people, but he works the seams and catches balls and absorbs contact as well as anyone you'll see."):  http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001018877/article/2019-nfl-draft-daniel-jeremiah-identifies-team-fits-for-prospects

Is your favorite NFL team's quarterback worth big money? (Stafford (Current per year salary: $27 million (5th)) - Matthew Stafford is the perfect epitome of the deal with the devil nature of these top-level quarterback contracts. The 2009 first overall pick, Stafford has proven to be, without a shadow of a doubt, a fine NFL starting quarterback. Many teams would love to know for sure that they have one of those. Few teams would be inclined to pay $27 million per year for such a player who, to this point, has yet to do enough to elevate a Lions team to anything beyond the bare minimum of what their talent would suggest they’re capable of.  While the Lions have their starting quarterback secured well into the future, they’re paying for it beyond just his salary. You can get away with having a starter of Stafford’s quality when they’re on a rookie deal. When that player is taking up nearly $30 million in cap space, it becomes an anchor for the entire roster.  Verdict: Not worth it.):  https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl-quarterbacks-worth-top-level-contract-093644755.html

The Lions escaped the equivalent of football hell right around the time Matthew Stafford entered the picture in 2009, but what they've settled into in the years since is a sort of NFL purgatory. Not good enough to be a contender or bad enough to be a curiosity. In other words, Detroit is not fertile soil for premium cable right now.):  http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001017981/article/hard-knocks-team-in-2019-ranking-the-five-eligible-candidates

2019 Combine:

One player for each NFL team to watch at the combine (DETROIT LIONS: Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, S, Florida. We all know the Lions will be eyeing pass rush as their top priority, but with Glover Quin at age 33, Detroit could take a closer look at Gardner-Johnson. He's a rangy free safety with good size and the ability to handle man-coverage duties. The Lions could hone in on a potential Day 1 starter as a Day 2 pick.):  http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001017852/article/2019-nfl-scouting-combine-one-player-for-each-team-to-watch
