Ranking every NFL team’s quarterback need entering the 2026 offseason (GOOD SHORT-TERM VETERAN - 27. Detroit Lions. The Lions have a good quarterback in Jared Goff, as reflected by his 81.2 PFF passing grade over the past two seasons and his ability to orchestrate a high-octane offense that consistently ranks among the NFL’s best in yards and points. The limitations with Goff, however, stem from his lack of mobility and playmaking outside of structure. Over the past two years, his 2.9% big-time throw rate ranks 29th among 32 eligible quarterbacks. Detroit has a Super Bowl-caliber offense, and Goff could get hot and take them there, but at 31 years old, it’s unlikely he suddenly rediscovers the high-end off-script playmaking that surfaced earlier in his career when games demand it most.): https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-ranking-every-nfl-team-quarterback-need
One 2026 free agent that every NFL team should pursue (Detroit Lions: CB Roger McCreary - PFF Free Agent Rank: No. 103. As the Lions head into an offseason of critical reflection, they’ll likely lament what’s happened to the state of their cornerback room by the end of the last two seasons. Although significant investments have been made, more is needed, especially on the inside with Amik Robertson no longer under contract. McCreary represents a younger upgrade at slot corner. The 25-year-old owns a 70.0 overall PFF grade throughout his four-year career, including a 68.7 PFF coverage mark. After joining the Rams midseason, McCreary notched a 79.4 coverage grade, and his 6.9 snaps per target tied for fourth among slot corners. The former second-round pick could bring inside-outside versatility with starting upside to Detroit’s corner room.): https://www.pff.com/news/one-2026-free-agent-that-every-nfl-team-should-pursue
2026 NFL Top 100 Player Projection, Nos. 50–11: Young QBs Are Headed for Stardom (31. Amon-Ra St. Brown, WR, Lions: St. Brown’s versatility and competitiveness helped turn the Lions’ offense into one of the best units in the league. He excels on money downs thanks to his elite route running and reliable hands. He has a four-year streak of at least 100 receptions and 1,100 receiving yards. Not many wide receivers have been as productive since the USC product entered the league as a 2021 fourth-round pick. 24. Aidan Hutchinson, edge, Lions: It didn’t take Hutchinson long to regain his top form after sustaining a significant leg injury in the middle of the 2024 season. Hutchinson is a relentless pass rusher, but it makes you wonder how much better he could be with another talented defender on the opposite side. However, Hutchinson has done just fine with what he’s had on Detroit’s front, recording a career-high 14.5 sacks, 35 QB hits, four forced fumbles and one interception in 2025.): https://www.si.com/nfl/2026-nfl-top-100-player-projection-young-quarterbacks-headed-for-stardom
