The road from rebuild to success can be a long one. But for the Detroit Lions, how long could that be? It is unlikely that the Lions will be competitive in 2021, and the front office seems to acknowledge that. Out of all of their free agent signings thus far, only Jamaal Williams was signed

Too often as fans, we narrow our scope for the NFL Draft. We focus heavily on the players that may be available when our team picks—specifically in the first round—and fail to look at the surrounding players that could be our team’s choice if they decide to trade up or trade down (I’m 100 percent

With the Lions under new management, there are a lot of new faces on the roster as Brad Holmes continues to wash away the stink that was left from the Quinntricia era. I’m not sure if, at this point, you can look at the team and really say that any position has greatly improved, but

In the last few weeks, it’s been all about the wide receivers and which one pairs best with the Detroit Lions. In last week’s round up, Alabama’s Jaylen Waddle was connected to Detroit more than DeVonta Smith (Alabama) and La’Marr Chase (LSU) combined, with players at other positions being left in the distance. This week,

The other day, I mentioned that Detroit’s approach in free agency thus far did little, if anything, to impact their approach to the 2021 NFL Draft. The Lions new general manager, Brad Holmes, has decided to play the long game when it comes to this rebuild by signing players to one-year contracts and keeping the

Legendary University of Michigan coach Bo Schembechler wrote a book (along with John U. Bacon) about the fundamentals of leadership called “Bo’s lasting lessons”. The book’s first chapter begins with what Schembechler believes to be the most important factor in being a leader. “Let’s start with first things first: passion,” Schembechler wrote. “Because without that,

After signing veterans Corn Elder last week and Quinton Dunbar and Dean Marlowe this week, the Lions should be finished with free agency moves heading into the draft. The addition of Marlowe indicates the team is unlikely to continue pursuing former Broncos safety Will Parks. As pointed out by our Jeremy Reisman, Marlowe has a

Thursday night, we continued our Thursday Night Mock Draft series, in which several Pride of Detroit staffers team up to do a live mock draft on our YouTube and Twitch channels. Together, we created our own Lions war room and fired up The Draft Network’s Mock Draft Machine. This week, myself, Ryan Mathews and John

Nothing is set it stone, but the Detroit Lions seem to be in a great spot heading into the NFL Draft. With at least three — possibly four, or maybe even five?! — quarterbacks all but certain to be off the board by the seventh pick, the Lions seemed destined to have most of the

Hindsight is 2020 but what would the Detroit Lions have done differently in the 2020 NFL Draft if they could? With this year’s draft just a few weeks away, Bleacher Report’s Brad Gagnon suggests who each team would have selected — knowing what they know today. For example, he suggests the Washington Football Team would

Detroit’s overall strategy in free agency has done little to impact the way they’ll approach this year’s NFL Draft. With a bunch of one-year contracts being handed out this offseason—Tyrell Williams, Josh Hill, Alex Anzalone, Corn Elder, and most recently Dean Marlowe just to name a few—Detroit’s long-term plan at a variety of positions is
