Projecting the top offseason needs for all 32 NFL teams: QB for the Steelers? WR for the Chiefs? (DETROIT LIONS - Biggest needs: Cornerback, safety, wide receiver The good news for the Lions is they have extra first-round picks in the next two drafts as a result of the Matthew Stafford–Jared Goff blockbuster trade. The bad news is they're going to need to hit on a lot of their upcoming picks just to get this roster back to being competitive. Detroit used the third overall pick in 2020 on cornerback Jeff Okudah, but a ruptured Achilles injury early in the 2021 campaign will keep him sidelined for a while. Regardless, the Lions' coverage unit has been historically bad for two seasons now, ranking dead last in 2020 with a 28.7 coverage grade and repeating that effort so far in 2021 with a league-low 29.6 coverage grade. Since 2020, Detroit has allowed 7.95 yards per attempt to opposing quarterbacks, way ahead of the second-worst team at 7.38 yards per attempt. The Lions have also allowed an explosive pass play of 15-plus yards on 20% of opponent's dropbacks, a full three percentage points worse than the next team. All of that said, their porous coverage unit might look good in practice going up against arguably the worst collection of wide receivers the NFL has to offer. The No. 1 and No. 2 wide receivers on Detroit's depth chart during the offseason have yet to step on an NFL field this season.): https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-offseason-needs-all-32-nfl-teams-projecting-where-upgrade-2022-including-qb-steelers-wr-chiefs-2021#DET

NFL predictions at midseason: Forecasting the second half of the 2021 season, including playoff teams, record breakers, more (Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff will make his final NFL start as a true starter - Goff has objectively been one of the NFL's worst quarterbacks this season. His Total QBR of 28.9 is lower than that of every starter except rookies Zach Wilson (28.0) and Justin Fields (27.4), and Goff is in such a snooze that he has thrown the ball away on multiple fourth-down conversion attempts. Even with a hefty salary-cap hit looming, what argument could the Lions make for bringing him back? Assuming the Lions become the second team in as many seasons to give up on him, Goff won't start another NFL game unless it is as someone's backup. -- Kevin Seifert, NFL writer/reporter): https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/32600795/nfl-predictions-midseason-forecasting-second-half-2021-season-including-playoff-teams-record-breakers-more
