2009 NFL Redraft: Rebuilding the first round based on PFF grades and data (1. Detroit Lions: QB Matthew Stafford, Georgia (Round 1, Pick 1) - Original Pick: QB Matthew Stafford, Georgia.  For the first time in this redraft series, we’re sticking with the original top pick.  Although Stafford won a Super Bowl with the Rams and is still their starting quarterback, he is easily the greatest quarterback in the Lions' history. He has earned a 90.3 career PFF overall grade and brought Detroit to the playoffs thrice in his career, its first three trips in the 21st century.):  https://www.pff.com/news/draft-2009-nfl-redraft-pff-grades-data

Every NFL team’s biggest question after the 2025 NFL Draft (Detroit Lions: Who starts at edge rusher?  Aside from simply returning bodies from injury, the biggest priority facing the Lions this offseason was landing a consistently good running mate next to Aidan Hutchinson at edge rusher. Yet, at this point in the offseason, there’s no apparent answer to that dilemma.  Detroit re-signed Marcus Davenport (64.4 PFF pass-rushing grade) after he played just 89 total snaps, but the former Saint has never logged 550 snaps in a full season. On top of that, the Lions didn’t address the position until the sixth round of the draft via Ahmed Hassanein (76.9 PFF pass-rushing grade). The depth at edge rusher is currently very thin next to Hutchinson, who himself is coming off a broken leg. With veterans such as Von Miller, Jadeveon Clowney and Matthew Judon available, general manager Brad Holmes would be shrewd to pursue one.):  https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-every-nfl-team-biggest-question-after-2025-nfl-draft

PFF Edge Defender Rankings: Top 32 ahead of the 2025 NFL season (5. Aidan Hutchinson, Detroit Lions:  Hutchinson was on pace for a historic season before suffering fractured tibia and fibula injuries against Dallas in Week 6. The Pro Bowl edge defender was in a league of his own, recording 72 pass-rush wins, the most ever by a defensive player in the PFF era through the first six weeks of a season. Remarkably, he accomplished the feat in just five games, as Detroit had a bye in Week 5. Heading into this season, Hutchinson will be a popular Defensive Player of the Year candidate for the division-favorite Detroit Lions.):  https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-pff-edge-defender-rankings-top-32-2025-nfl-season

Ranking NFL's most vulnerable division winners for 2025 (2. Detroit Lions (NFC North) - 2024 record: 15-2 | Division title streak: 2 seasons.  On one hand, Dan Campbell's only overseen improvement in Motor City: The Lions have gone from three wins to nine to 12 to 15 in his first four years running the show, and Detroit still boasts a sterling line and skill group for Jared Goff. Old friend Ben Johnson is now guiding Caleb Williams with the Chicago Bears, however, along with a significantly retooled offensive lineup. The Minnesota Vikings are giving J.J. McCarthy one of the coziest supporting casts in football. And the Green Bay Packers are never not in the mix under Matt LaFleur.):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/ranking-nfls-most-vulnerable-division-winners-for-2025-from-sturdy-chiefs-to-streaky-rams/
