Grading all 32 first-round picks after preseason Week 3 (PICK NO. 8: TE T.J. HOCKENSON, DETROIT LIONS (2019 preseason grade: 67.1): The Lions’ new tight end has had an up-and-down preseason so far, earning overall grades 64.3, 76.7 and 59.4 in his first three games as a pro. And while he was held targetless in his NFL debut in Week 1, Hockenson has hauled in 4-of-5 targets for 52 yards and two first downs over his last two weeks, though he did drop a pass against the Bills in Week 3. With the countdown to the regular season winding down, the Lions’ faithful have to be happy with what they’ve seen from Hockenson after the catch — he currently leads all tight ends in receiving yards after the catch (39) and yards after the catch per reception (9.8).): https://www.pff.com/news/pro-z-grading-all-32-first-round-picks-after-preseason-week-3
Power rankings for NFL divisions (1. NFC North: When Aaron Rodgers is the quarterback of the third-best team in your division, you know you have a strong division, and that's exactly what the NFC North had in 2018. Although Rodgers is the best quarterback in the division, the Packers aren't really the best at anything else, which is a big reason why the NFC North is so balanced. The Bears have the best defense, the Vikings have the best receiving corps and the Lions, well, they're the best at not winning the division. Speaking of winning the division, the Bears did that with a strong defense last year and Lions coach Matt Patricia seems to be well aware of that, because he spent the most of the offseason upgrading the defense in Detroit. Thanks to the addition of Trey Flowers, the Lions now have a defensive front that includes Flowers, Mike Daniels and Damon "Snacks" Harrison. New Packers coach Matt LaFleur must have also noticed how the Bears won the division, because he also beefed up his defense this offseason by adding multiple players, including OLB Za'Darius Smith, OLB Preston Smith, S Adrian Amos. What this all means is that you shouldn't be surprised if the final score of every NFC North game this year is 13-10. You also shouldn't be surprised if the NFC North ends up being the best division in the NFL this year. NFC North out-of-division record in 2018: 21-19 (8-8 vs. NFC West, 9-7 vs. AFC East, 1-3 vs. NFC East, 3-1 vs. NFC South) 2019 out-of-division schedule: vs. NFC East and AFC West): https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/2019-nfl-divisional-power-rankings-afc-east-ranks-last-even-with-defending-super-bowl-champion-patriots/
