NFL Rookies: Top 15 highest-graded players after Week 8 (11. CB BRIAN BRANCH, DETROIT LIONS: 77.5. Branch is a vital piece to this Lions' defense. His coverage ability is quickly proving to be as advertised, having allowed just 0.68 yards per coverage snap. His 77.8 coverage grade ranks top-20 among corners.): https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-rookies-top-15-highest-graded-players-after-week-8

NFL trade deadline 2023: Grading deals for Chase Young, Montez Sweat, Joshua Dobbs and more (Lions reinforce WR corps - GRADE: B+. LIONS RECEIVE: WR Donovan Peoples-Jones. The Lions took a flier on a Detroit native who generated 839 yards a year ago on 61 receptions with three TDs. Peoples-Jones is a 6-foot-2 target who possesses field-stretching ability. With Marvin Jones Jr. stepping away from the team and former first-rounder Jameson Williams struggling to produce consistently since returning from suspension, adding a player with DPJ's skill set makes sense for Detroit. The Lions haven't had consistent production from their No. 3 WRs, relying heavily on Amon-Ra St. Brown and Josh Reynolds. Given the Day 3 draft pick doesn't come until 2025, it's a very low-cost move -- with the upside of DPJ potentially recapturing his 2022 form.): https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-trade-deadline-2023-grading-deals-for-chase-young-montez-sweat-joshua-dobbs-
2023 NFL QB Power Rankings: Will Levis skyrockets (11. Jared Goff DETROIT LIONS QB: He's got an underrated thing for tossing pick-sixes, but he bounced back nicely to help Detroit cruise past the Raiders in prime time and get back in the "W" column.

Grading every trade that happened before the 2023 NFL trade deadline (Winners: Lions and Donovan Peoples-Jones. It seems a bit superfluous for the Lions to add the former Michigan big-play wideout with young Jameson Williams, Josh Reynolds and Kalif Raymond playing off Amon-Ra St. Brown. But there have been some injury issues in that group and DPJ, who was phased out of the Browns' offense, gets new life in Detroit, which also happens to be his hometown.): https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/nfl-trade-grades-2023-deadline-analysis/ac10a47b923266f0ec65ad6a
Grading every trade that happened before the 2023 NFL trade deadline (The Lions, by adding a reliable playmaker for Jared Goff - For the most part, these Lions were complete. They had great offensive and defensive lines. A running back duo of David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs could be considered the ultimate smash-and-dash pairing in pro football. And they arguably possessed the league’s top slot receiver, Amon-Ra St. Brown, with above-average quarterback Jared Goff slinging the ball to him. Oh, and head coach Dan Campbell has been pushing all the right buttons. But what this team was still missing was consistent playmaking on the outside. In his return from a gambling suspension, Jameson Williams has been a disappointment so far. The former first-round pick has just six receptions for 71 yards and a touchdown on 15 targets in four games. That isn’t going to cut it for a Lions team vying for the NFC North title and then some. Trading for Donovan Peoples-Jones won’t completely fix the Lions’ lack of outside receivers. But I can’t complain about a contender adding a guy who’s shown he can catch over 60 passes and nearly 840 yards in a functional offense. And especially for the princely sum of a sixth-round draft pick. He’ll be a great safety valve for Goff and an excellent complement to St. Brown. Shoutout to Detroit general manager Brad Holmes for capitalizing and helping his roster with a shrewd deal.): https://ftw.usatoday.com/lists/nfl-trade-deadline-winners-losers-2023-bears-49ers-raiders
NFL QB Rankings, Week 9: The Raiders paid $72 million for one of the league's worst passers (MVP outliers and whatever Russ is. 9. Jared Goff, Detroit Lions: 0.117 EPA+CPOE composite. Goff made some mistakes that ultimately kept the Raiders in a Monday night showdown longer than expected, but did enough to help get Josh McDaniels fired after all.): https://ftw.usatoday.com/lists/nfl-qb-rankings-week-9-joe-burrow-jimmy-garoppolo

NFL Trade Deadline 2023 Winners And Losers (WINNER: DETROIT LIONS. The shrewdest deal that occurred on Tuesday saw the Lions acquire wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones from the Cleveland Browns in exchange for a 2025 sixth-round selection. That’s essentially free. Peoples-Jones is a quality addition to the league’s eighth-highest-scoring offense. Peoples-Jones will help round out a deep receiver room that features Amon-Ra St. Brown, an in-progress Jameson Williams, and an underrated Josh Reynolds. A former Michigan Wolverines standout, Peoples-Jones amassed 61 receptions for 839 receiving yards last season. He’ll help the 6-2 Lions contend in the postseason.): https://thedraftnetwork.com/nfl-trade-deadline-2023-winners-losers/
