NFL Week 7: One up, one down for all 32 teams (DETROIT LIONS - One up: EDGE Aidan Hutchinson.  The 2022 first-round pick generated four pressures in Sunday’s loss to the Cowboys, including two sacks and a quarterback hit. He earned an 81.7 overall pass-rush grade.  One down: QB Jared Goff - Only five of Goff's passes fell incomplete in Week 7, but two of them were interceptions, and he had three total turnover-worthy plays for a 54.8 overall grade.):  https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-week-7-one-up-one-down-all-32-teams-2022

32 things we learned from NFL Week 7: What's wrong with the NFC? (21. Welcome back, Dak Prescott. The Dallas Cowboys' franchise quarterback was efficient (19 of 25 for 207 yards and a TD) in his first action since fracturing his throwing thumb on opening night.   21a. We'll have to check in with our buddy Michael Irvin to determine if Dallas was "absolutely asinine" to run 32 times – very similar to the winning formula used with QB2 Cooper Rush in recent weeks – in a 24-6 win over the spiraling Detroit Lions. The Cowboys averaged 29 carries in their five games with Rush under center.  22. The 24 points allowed by the Lions were the fewest this season for the league's most porous defense ... not that it matters much when QB Jared Goff is turning the ball over four times.):  https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/columnist/nate-davis/2022/10/23/nfl-week-7-32-things-we-learned-nfc-struggling-tom-brady-aaron-rodgers/10558161002/

1 player from all 32 NFL teams who could be dealt before the 2022 NFL trade deadline (11.  Detroit Lions: CB Amani Oruwariye - Detroit is loaded with recognizable veteran talent the franchise would likely trade away in return for draft considerations to keep its rebuild rolling. The question is what’s the value in guys like Mike Hughes, DeShon Elliott, Will Harris or Michael Brockers?  Oruwariye may be the most valuable piece of a grim thrift store puzzle even though he was recently benched from one of the league’s worst passing defenses. He’s only 26 years old, recorded a 74.1 passer rating against in 2021 and will be a free agent after the season if things don’t work out.):  https://ftw.usatoday.com/lists/nfl-trade-deadline-2022-players-32-teams-chase-claypool

2023 NFL Draft:

$.10 After NFL Week 7 (Lions fans are generally aghast that I eschewed QB with both their first-round picks. After Sunday’s turnover festival in Dallas from Jared Goff, I might like a do-over. Goff’s play the last two weeks has been bad enough to make me reconsider, but not at No. 3 if Stroud is gone. Someone like Cameron Ward or Anthony Richardson with the Rams pick is looking a lot more appealing to me now.):  https://football.realgm.com/analysis/3497/$10-After-NFL-Week-7
