Before the upcoming additions in the 2023 NFL Draft, here’s an updated depth chart and roster for the Detroit Lions. The Detroit Lions now have nine selections in the 2023 NFL Draft, barring any further moves before or during the proceedings. All nine won’t necessarily make the 53-man roster, but those who don’t will have
Suspended for a year then cut, it appears former Detroit Lions safety C.J. Moore will keep his entire signing bonus. Seeing his value as a core special teamer for them, the Detroit Lions re-signed safety C.J. Moore to a two-year deal back in March. Of course we know what has happened since, with Moore one
Many incoming draft prospects could be named as a fit for the Detroit Lions, but a surprising one has been put out there. It’s not breaking news at this point, but the Detroit Lions in a very good spot for the 2023 NFL Draft. Two first-round picks, two second round picks and another in the
Allen Park — When evaluating college prospects, there are three primary buckets general managers must weigh: College production, intangibles and physical traits. The Lions put a heavy emphasis on the first two. They want players who have proven it on the field, but also have the intrinsic drive to constantly improve, one of the key
Allen Park — As the NFL continues to devalue the position, it’s been five years since a team has selected a running back in the first 20 picks of the draft. Following the New York Giants taking Saquon Barkley with the No. 2 choice in 2018, there have been just four running backs who have
On Friday, the Detroit Lions found themselves at the forefront of the football conversation for all of the wrong reasons. Four of their players had been found of breaking the league’s gambling policies. Two players—Quintez Cephus and C.J. Moore—were found to have gambled on NFL games, resulting in an indefinite suspension and their immediate release…
Our 2023 NFL mock draft created by our community has come to an end. I want to take a minute to personally thank everyone who participated. Once again, we were able to finish the two-round mock well ahead of schedule. That takes a lot of people working in tandem, and it speaks to the strength…

Projecting what the Detroit Lions do in the 2023 NFL draft is always a crapshoot. But this is one of my favorite exercises of the year — playing out different scenarios for the Lions, and making educated guess on how their decision on their first pick of the draft might impact their other selections. Lions
The Carolina Panthers appear to have zeroed in on their choice with the No. 1 pick in this week’s NFL draft, but the rest of the first round remains murky I gave Texas Tech pass rusher Tyree Wilson to the Detroit Lions in two of my previous three mocks (while the fourth explored trade-down scenarios),
It can be a very slippery slope, but the Detroit Lions would not be out of bounds to try to recoup some of Jameson Williams’ signing bonus. The NFL’s big embrace of gambling invites issues, and the latest one hit the Detroit Lions hard. On Friday four Lions players, headlined by wide receiver Jameson Williams,
The six-game suspension given to Jameson Williams may push wide receiver up the list of draft needs for the Detroit Lions, and here are four who look like good potential fits.

Free Press sports reporter Dave Birkett takes a position-by-position look at the top prospects and biggest Detroit Lions needs in the 2023 NFL draft. This is the fourth in an eight-part series. The Lions took fliers on two linebackers in the sixth round of last year’s draft, and both ended up being key contributors on defense:
The way Daniel Jeremiah sees it, the best-case scenario for the Detroit Lions in next week’s NFL draft is one that seems increasingly unlikely to happen.
