The Detroit Lions‘ approach to free agency this year signaled that they were not content with their starting lineup from last season. With the possibility of the Lions drafting a cornerback in this year's draft, it's no surprise that they might consider trading former No. 3 overall pick, Jeff Okudah. Although his trade value may not be high, there are almost certainly some general managers out there who have not forgotten Okudah's impressive college career and are convinced that they can fix him.

The Detroit Lions could be faced with an important decision in the upcoming 2023 NFL Draft – whether to select OT Peter Skoronski with their No. 6 pick. While Skoronski is highly regarded as one of the top offensive linemen in the draft cycle, many analysts are questioning whether taking a guard at No. 6 would be a good value for the Lions. Yet, two local Lions' beat writers believe the Lions will select Skoronski at No. 6. Despite his lack of arm length, Skoronski has the potential to be a Pro Bowl-caliber guard if he is moved inside, which would certainly be the case if the Lions select him.

Should Detroit Lions select Peter Skoronski at No. 6?

The Detroit Lions currently hold the No. 6 and No. 18 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, and many fans have been eagerly anticipating who they will select with those picks. However, according to Brad Spielberger of Pro Football Focus, the Lions may look to trade up in the draft to select their quarterback of the future. In his latest 2023 NFL Mock Draft, Spielberger has the Lions moving up to the No. 3 overall pick to select Anthony Richardson out of the University of Florida. In order to make this trade, the Lions had to send an “absolute haul” to the Arizona Cardinals. A move like this could have significant implications for the future of the Lions franchise and the NFL as a whole.

When the Detroit Tigers selected Justin Verlander in the 1st Round of the 2004 MLB Draft, the hope was that he would eventually develop into a No. 1 starter. Well, as we know, Verlander did much more than that, as he not only became one of the best pitchers in baseball, but he won an MVP award, which is very difficult for a pitcher to accomplish. Unfortunately, though he came close, Verlander was never able to lead the Tigers to a World Series title, and he was eventually traded to the Houston Astros. During a recent conversation with the Detroit News, he talked about being traded, and how he wishes that it had worked out for the Tigers, as it did the Astros.

Three Detroit Lions veterans took substantial pay cuts this offseason, and many are commending them for doing the team a solid for their “selfless acts”. But did the players really take pay cuts to help out the team, or was it for themselves? When Halapoulivaati Vaitai, Charles Harris, and Romeo Okwara agreed to take pay cuts this offseason, fans and analysts alike were quick to commend them for their selflessness. However, as with any decision, there are multiple factors to consider, including the motives of the players themselves. Of the three players mentioned above, only Okwara could have had a chance to get more money if he left in free agency.

Was what Vaitai and Harris did for Detroit Lions really ‘selfless’?

Bottom Line: It could be a fun season in the Motor City!. The 2022 season is a wrap, and the Detroit Lions finished with an overall record of 9-8. Fast forward to the present, and the Lions have been focused on adding players to their roster via free agency. Well, the first wave of free agency is pretty much in the books, and to say the Lions upgraded their biggest weakness (the secondary), would be a huge understatement. That being said, if the Lions truly want to contend for a Super Bowl, there is still plenty of work to be done. Let's take a look at how I think the 2023 Detroit Lions will win.

Courtland Sutton, the 6-foot-4, 216-pound wide receiver for the Denver Broncos, is reportedly on the trading block for the right offer. Pro Football Focus recently compiled a list of potential landing spots for Sutton, including the Patriots, Panthers, Ravens, and our Detroit Lions. Sutton has the skill set to be a true X-receiver, but he has had a drop in performance with the Broncos. The Lions, who recently lost DJ Chark to the Carolina Panthers, may try to acquire Sutton from the Broncos.

Riley Greene is a fearless center fielder for the Detroit Tigers, who blends MVP-caliber skills, such as an elite hitting and power profile, with leadership qualities. In his rookie season, he fractured his foot in spring training, which kept him off the Opening Day roster, but his arrival sparked the Tigers' struggling offense for a time, and he endured a month-long slump before rebounding. When all was said and done, he played 93 games for the Tigers, hitting .253 with five home runs, 36 walks, and 120 strikeouts. Despite his successful debut, Greene believes there is room for improvement and wants to be great for his team to win.

The upcoming Madden NFL Football video game will feature an accurate rendering of Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell for the first time. This is a change from the past two years, where the depiction of Campbell in the game was not remotely accurate. The reason for this delay is that the scans for the game take place during the annual owners' meetings, which Campbell was unable to attend in his first year due to the pandemic, and in the second year due to a personal issue. This year’s owners' meetings provided the first opportunity for EA Sports to do a full scan of Campbell for the video game.
