QB INDEX - Ranking every starting QB of the 2020 season (13. Matt Stafford - Blair: Stafford's final Lions season marked the third time since 2015 that he recorded a passer rating of 95 or better and threw for 250-plus yards per game while also failing to win more than seven games -- no other NFL QB did that as many times in that span. His escape to Los Angeles has the potential to be one of the feel-good stories of 2021.  22.  Jared Goff - Bhanpuri: Jared Goff capped a disappointing, turnover-filled 2020 campaign by playing solid playoff football just two weeks after undergoing surgery to repair a broken thumb on his throwing hand. Leading scoring drives on nearly every other possession should've been enough to keep the Rams competitive in their Divisional Round matchup with the Packers, had the QB on the opposite sideline not scored the first five times he touched the ball. If there's a silver lining for Goff after being shipped off a playoff team to a franchise in flux, it's that he'll get two shots to pay back his fellow Cal alum next season.):  https://www.nfl.com/news/qb-index-ranking-the-59-starting-quarterbacks-of-the-2020-nfl-season

2020 redraft: Bengals pick Herbert (3. WR Justin Jefferson:  The Lions have to revamp the receiver corps, and they don't hesitate to pick Jefferson this early.):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/redrafting-the-2020-nfl-draft-justin-herbert-picked-by-bengals-justin-jefferson-lands-with-lions/

Renner: The Biggest Draft Mistake For Each Team in the Past 5 Years (DETROIT LIONS: POSITIONAL VALUE - The Lions' insistence on drafting low-impact positions highly was simply never going to pan out great. They used their nine top-50 picks on two running backs, two linebackers, one center, one tight end, one nose tackle, one offensive tackle and one cornerback. In a league where passing the ball and stopping the pass has led to wins more than anything else the past five years, the Lions chose a different path.):  https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-the-biggest-draft-mistake-for-each-team-in-the-past-5-years

Franchise tag candidates for all 32 NFL teams:  https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-franchise-tag-candidates-all-32-nfl-teams

2021 NFL Free Agency: Riskiest free agent at every position (DETROIT LIONS: WR KENNY GOLLADAY (2020 overall grade: 81.6.  Projected franchise tag number: $15.808M):  Golladay missed the majority of the 2020 season while working hard to recover from a hip ailment, but he still shined in the four full games he battled through injury to play in. Golladay graded out at 85.7 in those four contests, and he put up 50 receiving yards and a touchdown or 100-plus receiving yards in each outing.  The Detroit Lions used the franchise tag on left tackle Taylor Decker prior to the 2020 season before ultimately reaching an agreement on a four-year, $59.65 million extension. Expect a similar situation this offseason with Golladay, especially considering new general manager Brad Holmes is still getting everything in order and assessing the team’s situation after the blockbuster Matthew Stafford–Jared Goff trade.):  https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-2021-nfl-free-agency-riskiest-free-agent-at-every-position
