Top 10 most complete NFL rosters for 2026 season (6. Detroit Lions:  The Lions fell out of the playoffs last season, but they still went 9-8 in the NFL’s most balanced division while posting a plus-68 point differential. This team might not boast quite as much firepower as it did a few years ago, but it remains a top-tier roster.  Jared Goff is an upper-echelon QB who has averaged more than 4,500 pass yards and 30 TDs over the past four seasons. He has a battery of game-changing playmakers at his disposal. The Lions’ offensive identity could change slightly without battering-ram RB David Montgomery, but Jahmyr Gibbs is one of the league's most electric playmakers.  Taylor Decker's release could affect Detroit’s offensive line, but Penei Sewell is arguably the game’s best tackle and should do just fine in his expected move to the blind side. The biggest question is whether rookie RT Blake Miller and the interior will hold up. But with weapons such as Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, Sam LaPorta and Isaac TeSlaa, the Lions can hang 30-plus points on a lot of teams.  Detroit’s defense remains the biggest question, even while it’s led by top-tier playmakers at each level in Aidan Hutchinson, Jack Campbell and Brian Branch (though Branch is coming off major injury). The remainder of the unit appears solid to average right now, although the defensive line could improve incrementally and a young secondary has a chance to blossom some.):  https://www.nfl.com/news/top-10-most-complete-nfl-rosters-for-2026-season

Sound Smart: 4 Observations on the Latest NFL Storylines (2. BUY & SELL - BUY: Lions WR Isaac TeSlaa.  Remember when the Lions traded three third-round picks to move up and get TeSlaa? They loved him in the draft last year. And while he didn’t see crazy volume as a rookie, he had a touchdown on nearly half of his catches. His stat line was 16 receptions for 239 yards and six touchdowns. There’s something there. I bet the Lions try to get more out of him this year.):  https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/4-observations-from-nfl-offseason-aaron-rodgers

One Move Every NFL Team Should Still Make After the Draft (Detroit Lions: Sign Kenny Moore II - Three Lions starters in the secondary are coming off injury heading into the 2026 season (safeties Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph and corner Terrion Arnold). Though all three could be back in time for the start of the 2026 season, the Lions need depth in the back end of their defense. There aren’t a ton of great options still available, but the Lions could pursue veteran Kenny Moore II, who was released by the Colts after initially requesting a trade. Moore is 30, but remains a solid option after finishing 2025 as PFF’s 37th-best corner.):  https://www.si.com/nfl/one-move-every-team-still-make-draft
