Early 2023 NFL roster rankings for all 32 teams: Strengths, weaknesses, rookies to watch and more (13. DETROIT LIONS - Biggest strength in 2023: Pass Rush. The Lions got 17.5 sacks between rookies Aidan Hutchinson and James Houston IV, the latter of which played only seven games. A full season of that duo, on top of production from John Cominsky, Julian Okwara and Josh Paschal, can create a lot of problems for opposing quarterbacks. Biggest weakness in 2023: Receiver depth. After Amon-Ra St. Brown, the most receiving yards among returning Lions is Kalif Raymond’s 616. St. Brown will continue to be the focal point of the offense, but there are a lot of question marks for the rest of this group. X-Factor for 2023: WR Jameson Williams. msHaving played only six games as a rookie due to injury, Williams was slated for a bigger role in 2023 before he was suspended six games for gambling. However, because of the lack of receiving depth on the roster, Williams will have every opportunity to become a major contributor upon his return. Rookie to watch: RB Jahmyr Gibbs. The Lions shocked everyone by taking a running back with the 12th overall selection despite already having David Montgomery and D’Andre Swift on the roster. They traded Swift to the Eagles shortly after, opening up the role of receiving back for the former Alabama speedster. Over/Under 9 win total: Under. This is a difficult team to project because of how much they overachieved in 2022 and the ever-changing NFC North landscape. But given how little the team improved on the offensive side of the ball in the offseason, expect some regression in 2023.): https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-2023-roster-rankings-strengths-weaknesses-x-factors-rookies-to-watch

Ranking the easiest, hardest schedules for all 32 NFL teams: Saints, Falcons and Colts have favorable schedules in 2023 (16. DETROIT LIONS (Projected win total: 8.2, Easiest game: Week 3 vs. Atlanta Falcons, Hardest game: Week 1 vs. Kansas City Chiefs): Starting the season with a game against the Chiefs is not easy — nor is playing five of their six intra-division games after their bye.): https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-strength-of-schedule-rankings-2023
Why the Detroit Lions can win the NFC North: https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/why-the-detroit-lions-can-win-the-nfc-north
Ranking NFL divisions 1-8 after 2023 free agency, draft (6. NFC North: Significant change occurred in this division with Aaron Rodgers no longer employed with the Green Bay Packers. Jordan Love takes the reins in Green Bay, quarterbacking a young roster that has playmakers on offense in Christian Watson and Aaron Jones. Jaylen Reed is an intriguing rookie receiver while rookie tight ends Luke Musgrave and Tucker Kraft are worth monitoring. The Detroit Lions are expected to be the top contenders for the division title after revamping their secondary and renovating their running back room with David Montgomery and rookie Jahmyr Gibbs. Marvin Jones is an underrated signing at wide receiver, especially with Jameson Williams suspended for six games. The Chicago Bears have improved the offensive line, but the big addition was acquiring D.J. Moore from the Carolina Panthers -- giving Justin Fields a No. 1 wide receiver. Chicago also revamped the linebacker core with Tremaine Edmunds and T.J. Edwards. What about the Minnesota Vikings? They did win the division last season, but they weren't active in free agency (Josh Oliver was their biggest signing). Releasing Adam Thielen hurt the offense and Dalvin Cook's future is uncertain. Rookie Jordan Addison should help out the wide receiver group. The NFC North is unpredictable with Rodgers out of the picture -- what will happen here is a big question mark. It wouldn't be surprising to see this division improve over the course of the year.): https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/ranking-nfl-divisions-from-1-8-after-big-2023-free-agency-moves-draft-will-nfc-east-be-even-better/
