Breakout candidates for all 16 NFC teams: Bears' Braxton Jones, Cowboys' Jake Ferguson and more (DETROIT LIONS: EDGE JAMES HOUSTON IV - Rookie edge defender Aidan Hutchinson got most of the attention in 2022, but classmate James Houston IV had a very impressive season, too. The sixth-round pick had to wait until Week 12 to get on to the field, but he finished the season strong, ultimately posting a pass-rush grade of 88.2 that would have ranked seventh among edge defenders had he played more snaps. Over the last seven weeks of the season, he produced pressure on 18.5% of his pass-rushing snaps, eighth among 121 qualifying edge defenders.): https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-breakout-candidates-for-all-16-nfc-teams-bears-braxton-jones-cowboys-jake-ferguson
2023 offseason grades for all 32 NFL teams: Eagles, Bengals among those to earn As (DETROIT LIONS (Offseason Grade: A-): The Lions have had an exceptional offseason. They set about free agency filling all of their biggest holes on the roster, buying the team the flexibility to draft the best player available and not have to chase needs. Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, Emmanuel Moseley and Cameron Sutton could all see the majority of snaps in the secondary, while David Montgomery can carry the load at running back and Graham Glasgow provides valuable interior stability on the offensive line. Their draft was a curious run of low-value positions, but it’s hard to dislike the players they drafted. Jahmyr Gibbs is the most difficult pick to endorse from an opportunity-cost standpoint, but the Lions brought in some excellent players. Quarterback Hendon Hooker in the third round is an outstanding roll of the dice in a way it would not have been in the first round.): https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-grading-all-32-nfl-offseasons-2023
One reason for optimism for 18 non-playoff teams (Lions - Both sides of the ball are more explosive. After becoming NFL darlings for playing late-year spoiler in 2022, the Lions got busy addressing the secondary and ended up with at least three feisty new starters in Cameron Sutton, C.J. Gardner-Johnson and Emmanuel Moseley. Then, in an unorthodox draft, they added juice in the backfield with RB Jahmyr Gibbs. As long as they can keep QB Jared Goff upright and comfortable to feed a deep WR group, they should be playoff-bound.): https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/2023-nfl-offseason-one-reason-for-optimism-for-all-18-non-playoff-teams-including-bears-packers-colts/
1 glaring flaw that could sink all 32 NFL teams' Super Bowl 58 hopes (Detroit Lions: They really could have used another pass rusher with one of those first round picks. Lukas Van Ness, Calijah Kancey, Myles Murphy and Will McDonald IV were all on the board when the Lions made their first draft pick at No. 12. Kancey and Murphy were still available when they made their second selection at No. 18. But instead general manager Martin Mayhew opted for a running back and inside linebacker with those picks — and then held true to his avoidance of edge rushers or down linemen with pass rushing experience through the entire 2023 NFL Draft. That’s not to say Detroit didn’t fill needs, particularly on defense where Jack Campbell and Brian Branch can be immediate difference makers. But Aidan Hutchinson needed a proper running mate up front and now he’ll rely on John Cominsky and Charles Harris to keep opposing quarterbacks from escaping. A rebuilt secondary could mean this is a superfluous concern. Even so, it was a curious move to pass up value at an expensive position by ignoring pass rushers at this year’s draft.): https://ftw.usatoday.com/lists/nfl-teams-offseason-problems-cowboys-packers-patriots-eagles
