Matthew Stafford ranked as 6th-best QB because... he’s not a Lion?: https://www.prideofdetroit.com/2021/7/13/22575096/matthew-stafford-ranked-6th-best-qb-after-leaving-detroit-lions
Three players to build around for all 32 NFL teams entering the 2021 season (DETROIT LIONS (C Frank Ragnow, T Penei Sewell, T Taylor Decker): Detroit’s roster isn’t in great shape, but the offensive line does have several impressive building blocks in place. According to PFF’s Wins Above Replacement metric, Ragnow has been the second-most valuable center in the NFL over the past two seasons. Decker comes in at 18th among all tackles since 2019 by the same metric. The Lions’ decision to add in Sewell, who earned a 95.8 PFF grade for Oregon the last time that he took the field, only strengthens an already solid unit. Those three will enter next season at just 25, 27 and 20 years old, respectively. Jeffrey Okudah could prove to be a notable omission given the caliber of prospect he was coming out of Ohio State, but his rookie season was disappointing enough (30.9 coverage grade) to leave him off entering next season.): https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-three-players-build-around-32-nfl-teams-2021-nfl-season
Sleeper NFC rookies who could break out (Detroit Lions - WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (Impressive stat to know: 118 catches for 1,520 yards with 13 touchdowns in his last 19 games at USC): The Lions are rebuilding. Want proof? Check their receiver depth chart. Ghastly. But for St. Brown, lovely. I don't believe a fourth-round receiver has been in as glorious of a scenario to gobble up targets than what the former USC star has in 2021 with the Lions. While not a dazzling athlete, St. Brown counters his limited burst and speed by entering the league having experienced the full route tree in college. His game is reminiscent of Robert Woods.): https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-training-camps-2021-dwayne-eskridge-and-other-nfc-rookies-picked-after-day-1-who-could-earn-key-roles/
Schein: Ranking the eight divisions by quarterback 6) NFC North (Chicago Bears: Justin Fields/Andy Dalton. Detroit Lions: Jared Goff. Green Bay Packers: Aaron Rodgers? Minnesota Vikings: Kirk Cousins): Rodgers is the reigning MVP and, in my opinion, the most talented quarterback ever. Yep, count me among those on Team Rodgers, as I've written and said many times before. I think the disdain he has for certain people in the Packers organization is beyond real and beyond repair. A no-show at OTAs, Rodgers also just skipped minicamp for the first time in his career. And his public comments in recent weeks give you no reason to believe he'll be back in Green Bay. Honestly, I don't really blame him, given how the trade up for Jordan Love went down. I pondered removing Rodgers from this exercise -- because I'm not planning on seeing him play for the Packers again -- but ultimately decided to leave him in. For now. If Love has to take the field, the Packers instantly have the No. 32 starting QB in football. I want Fields to beat out Dalton in the worst way. And I hope Fields is given every opportunity to do so from Day 1. Chicago wisely pounced when the Ohio State quarterback started to slide in April's draft. He has an electric skill set that represents hope at a position that's long been a nightmare for Bears fans. And it's not like Dalton has a history with the franchise -- he's yet to take his first snap in the Windy City -- so please don't compare this to the Alex Smith/Patrick Mahomes setup in Kansas City when Matt Nagy was the offensive coordinator. On the Lions front, I think Goff needed a change of scenery in the worst way, coming off of a year where he played hot potato with the football. He can be solid. I like the former No. 1 overall pick. But it's a downgrade at the position for Detroit. Kirk Cousins is Kirk Cousins. He's a top-16 NFL QB who can float higher in the rankings when he gets hot.): https://www.nfl.com/news/ranking-the-eight-nfl-divisions-by-quarterback-west-is-best-east-is-least
