Grading all 31 first-round picks after Week 5 of the 2023 NFL season (PICK NO. 18: DETROIT LIONS: LB JACK CAMPBELL - Overall Rookie Grade: 46.3 (Rank: 3/4).  Principal Opponent: Ian Thomas.  Week 5 Snaps: 31.  Week 5 Grade: 33.4.  Campbell returned to a traditional linebacker role but was one of the few Lions who struggled in a huge win. He made two run stops, but those were his only two tackles on the day. He allowed two catches for 29 yards and a touchdown while also committing an illegal contact penalty. He looks a bit hesitant right now, so Detroit may be wise to leave him in one role and let him get comfortable.):  https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-grading-all-first-round-picks-week-5-2023-nfl-season

What we learned from each team in Week 5 (Detroit Lions - Playmakers across the board: This is a focus on how deep the Lions offense is, as Detroit didn't have Amon-Ra St. Brown or Jahmyr Gibbs in this one. Didn't matter with David Montgomery and Sam LaPorta helping the Lions put up 42 points against Carolina, as the offense took advantage of three Panthers turnovers. Montgomery had 109 rushing yards and a touchdown while LaPorta had two touchdowns. Josh Reynolds stepped up with St. Brown out, catching four passes for 76 yards and a score. Kalif Raymond also had 45 yards receiving. Jameson Williams hasn't gotten going yet either (first game back from suspension). The Lions just have plenty of playmakers on offense, more signs of how deep of a team they are.):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/one-thing-we-learned-in-nfl-week-5-dak-prescott-fails-to-seize-moment-brock-purdy-may-be-elite/

NFL Week 6 Rookie Stock Watch: Jalen Carter Rising, Bijan Robinson Falling (Rising - Sam LaPorta, TE, Detroit Lions.  Last Week: Not rated.  It’s tough not to love LaPorta as a second option in Detroit’s offense behind star receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown. In Week 5, LaPorta caught two touchdowns in a blowout win over the Panthers. All told, the second-round pick has 25 catches, 289 yards and three scores so far.):  https://www.si.com/nfl/2023/10/10/nfl-week-6-rookie-stock-watch-jalen-carter-rising-bijan-robinson-falling#gid=ci02cb6f4b30082758&pid=sam-laporta-te-detroit-lions-
