It’s time for the Detroit Lions to take swings in free agency:  https://www.prideofdetroit.com/2023/3/9/23625185/detroit-lions-should-take-swing-free-agency-2023



QB Power Rankings 2023: Patrick Mahomes Sits at the Top, Jalen Hurts Nearly Elite (20. Jared Goff, Detroit Lions:  Like Brock Purdy and Garoppolo, Jared Goff takes advantage of an excellent supporting cast to help produce on offense. He doesn’t process as quickly as the other two, and his accuracy is not quite up to their standards, but Goff does have a good arm and an understanding of what he needs to do. If he could create off-book as well as Purdy or some of the other quarterbacks on this list, he’d be ranked much higher.):  https://www.profootballnetwork.com/nfl-qb-power-rankings/

Best Running Backs in the NFL 2023: Christian McCaffrey, Nick Chubb, and Derrick Henry Battle Atop Rankings (27. D’Andre Swift, Detroit Lions:  By all accounts, D’Andre Swift is a talented and versatile enough back to be the star of an offense, but injuries have held him back. He’s never finished a full season, and he’s averaged just 450 snaps per year over three NFL seasons. The Lions don’t seem to think Swift can hold up over the long term, but his ability as a receiver should help him find a role in any scheme.  28).  Jamaal Williams, Detroit Lions:  Swift was outplayed last season by Jamaal Williams, who came out of nowhere to lead the league with 17 rushing scores. Williams ranked first in carries inside the 20 and inside the 10 and repeatedly converted touchdowns.  Now a free agent for the second time in his career, Williams should garner a multi-year deal to become someone’s power back.):  https://www.profootballnetwork.com/best-running-backs-nfl-rankings/

2023 NFL free agency: Odell Beckham Jr. among 10 boom-or-bust players on the market (Jamaal Williams - Boom: The energetic veteran leader picks up right where his record-setting 2022 campaign left off. On the heels of his league-best 17-TD running season, Williams continues to be a valuable goal-line and short-yardage back. Bust: A team looks to use Williams as more than a short-yardage back. Turning 28 years old in April, he doesn't have the same burst he showcased early in his career and loses his job as an every-down back before midseason.):  https://www.nfl.com/news/2023-nfl-free-agency-odell-beckham-jr-among-10-boom-or-bust-players-on-the-marke
