The best team fits for PFF's highest-graded remaining free agents (WR DONTRELLE INMAN, DETROIT LIONS: Inman turned in a career performance in the Colts’ Divisional Playoff matchup with the Chiefs this past season, earning a career-high 89.8 single-game grade. Though he is entering the 2019 season at 30 years old, the 6-foot-3, 205-pound Inman offers value as a short-term solution for a team such as Detroit, a team that needs depth at outside wide receiver. The Lions’ passing attack has the potential to thrive this upcoming season with receivers Kenny Golladay, Marvin Jones Jr., and Danny Amendola penciled in as starters. They also added versatile tight end T.J. Hockenson in the first round of the NFL Draft. However, their depth is lacking on the outside. Inman would provide a secure backup option with enough playmaking ability to contribute in multiple receiver sets.): https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/pro-the-best-team-fits-for-pffs-highest-graded-remaining-free-agents
Day 3 picks who'll thrive as rookies (Ty Johnson, RB, Lions
Johnson was one of the most devastating home run hitters I watched among the running backs in the 2019 class. His final season at Maryland was just cut short due to an injury. In nine games he rushed for 506 yards on 66 carries (7.7 yards per attempt), and that stat line wasn't a fluke. In his four-year Terrapin career, Johnson averaged 7.6 yards per rush on 348 carries. Of course Pro Day 40-yard dash times need to be taken with a grain of salt, but Johnson clocked as fast as 4.29 at 5-10 and 208 pounds. He enters a backfield led by second-year pro Kerryon Johnson, a springy between-the-tackles runner and Theo Riddick who's become essentially a slot receiver in Detroit. That's it, really, unless you're still clinging to hope for Zach Zenner. It's Opportunity City for Johnson. And while he likely won't be a high volume back in the Lions offense, I can clearly envision a few six-carry, 45-yard performances in the first half of the season before he slowly gets more touches in the second half of the year because of his electric long speed.): https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/kelvin-harmon-julian-love-and-other-day-3-picks-who-can-be-instant-impact-rookies/
Players to watch from each team (DETROIT LIONS: Matthew Stafford, QB. I promised myself that I wouldn't list the players I talked about last year, but I can't help myself with Stafford. He's long been one of my favorite players to watch in the NFL. Recent news about Stafford and his family have made me an even bigger supporter.): http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001030183/article/nfl-players-to-root-for-in-2019-odell-beckham-kyler-murray-excite
