10 players who just missed the 2022 PFF Top 101 (Edge Aidan Hutchinson, Detroit Lions (2022 PFF grade: 80.7):  Hutchinson had a very good rookie season, and as the year progressed, he had a very good year for any player. From Week 11 onward, only Micah Parsons and Myles Garrett registered a higher overall PFF grade than Hutchinson, who finished his debut season with 53 total pressures and added the bonus of three interceptions. Hutchinson was better than average in all facets of play, and if the season had gone on longer, he may have catapulted himself onto the list.  C Frank Ragnow, Detroit Lions (2022 PFF grade: 77.9):  At his best, Ragnow is as good as any center in the league. Even battling through injury, as was the case for most of 2022, he was still among the better players at the position. Ragnow allowed just 13 total pressures across 16 games and over 600 snaps of pass protection. Only one of those pressures was a sack or a knockdown of his quarterback, and he did this with a revolving door of guards alongside him on the interior for Detroit.):  https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-10-players-who-just-missed-the-2022-pff-top-101

NFL cut candidates: 15 big-name veterans on shaky ground (Lions DE Romeo Okwara:  The trimming in Detroit began Thursday with the release of defensive tackle Michael Brockers, and it likely won't end there. Despite already being well under the cap, the Lions can create more space for free-agent spending by parting ways with Okwara, who has played in just nine games the last two years due to a torn Achilles. The Lions' defensive youth movement likely will continue this offseason – perhaps with a defensive end chosen with one of the team's four picks among the top 55 selections – and the team can save $7.5 million with a split.):  https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2023/02/27/nfl-cut-candidates-ezekiel-elliott-dalvin-cook-joe-mixon-2023/11332756002/

Proposed landing spots for top 12 free agent RBs (RB Josh Jacobs - Proposed team: Lions.  The Raiders may tag their breakout starter, but Josh McDaniels has leaned on a committee approach before. The Lions, meanwhile, could lose 17-touchdown man Jamaal Williams to free agency, and former second-rounder D'Andre Swift has yet to stay healthy. With a decent chunk of change at their disposal, and early draft capital to address other spots, Detroit could juice up its balanced offense by spending big for Jacobs, who registers as a potential Dan Campbell favorite for his hard-nosed style.):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/2023-nfl-mock-draft-colts-buccaneers-move-up-for-qbs-bears-stockpile-picks-for-future/
