NFL Draft Losers - Dynasty Edition

The NFL Draft is a time where collegiate players find new opportunities playing professional football. It's a time when NFL teams fill important holes in their rosters with young talent.

Lions Release Tra Carson

The Detroit Lions released running back Tra Carson, long snapper James Fisher, offensive guard Casey Tucker and punter Matt Wile on Monday. Detroit added running backs D'Andre Swift and Jason Huntley in the draft this past weekend, so they're trimming the fat with Carson. The 27-year-old split time with the Lions and Packers in 2019, […]

They Took Who??? Confusing NFL Draft Picks

Every year, the NFL holds a draft, and every year during that draft, 32 NFL teams make decisions that will positively impact the team going forward. But every year, some teams also make decisions that are...confusing. Confounding. Puzzling. Whatever adjective you want to use, teams make decisions that leave us, the outsiders watching the draft, […]

Lions Add To Defense With Jashon Cornell

The Detroit Lions used the 235th pick of the NFL Draft on Ohio State defensive end Jashon Cornell. At 6-foot-3 and 285 pounds, he has the ability to line up anywhere on the defensive line, which will help him stick in the NFL. Cornell will add depth to a Lions defensive front that was gashed […]

Lions Bolster Run Defense With John Penisini

The Detroit Lions filled a position of need with a solid value pick in the sixth round of Saturday's NFL Draft. John Penisini is a big defensive tackle out of Utah who should be able to immediately help a Lions Defense that allowed the second-most yards in the NFL last season. Despite weighing in at […]

Lions Add Another Running Back To The Mix

The Detroit Lions have selected New Mexico State running back Jason Huntley with the No. 172 pick during the fifth round of the 2020 NFL Draft. This is a bit of an odd move by Detroit, who already selected running back D'Andre Swift earlier in the draft. Huntley finished with 1,090 rushing yards on 154 […]

Quintez Cephus Heads To Detroit

The Detroit Lions selected Wisconsin wide receiver Quintez Cephus with the No. 166 overall pick in the fifth round of the NFL Draft. Cephus isn't huge (6-foot-1, 202 pounds), but he's built and shows great after-the-catch skills down the field. The big concern with Cephus is his small hands, as he dropped too many passes […]

Lions Draft Offensive Lineman Logan Stenberg

The Detroit Lions addressed their offensive line in the fourth round of the NFL Draft, selecting Kentucky offensive guard Logan Stenberg 121st overall. At 6-foot-6, 317 pounds, Stenberg is a mauler in the run game, which should help Kerryon Johnson and second-round pick D'Andre Swift. His lack of agility hurts him in pass protection, which […]

Is Clyde Edwards-Helaire the Next Brian Westbrook?

Hyperbole and the NFL Draft go hand in hand. Every GM, coach, and teammate of an incoming first-round pick is going to proclaim how much they love their new guy, how they had him pegged for their team all along, and inevitably throw out some comps for emphasis. Hours after the first round of the […]

Lions Trade Up and Select Jonah Jackson

The Detroit Lions struck a trade with the Indianapolis Colts, acquiring the 75th pick and 197th pick in exchange for the 85th, 149th and 182nd picks, per ESPN's Field Yates. With pick 75, the Lions selected offensive lineman Jonah Jackson out of Ohio State. Jackson has solid blocking abilities and balance, but does not provide […]

Lions Use Third-Round Pick On Julian Okwara

The Detroit Lions addressed their pass rush in the third round of the draft by selecting edge rusher Julian Okwara out of Notre Dame. Okwara will join his older brother, Romeo, in Detroit. Okwara is a powerful edge rusher with a strong bull rush that helped him accrue eight sacks in his junior season. He'll […]

D'Andre Swift Goes To Detroit

The Detroit Lions used the No. 35 pick in the 2020 NFL draft to select Georgia running back D'Andre Swift. The pick adds a talented running back to a crowded running back room in Detroit. Swift comes into the NFL as one of the top-regarded pass-catching running backs available in the draft but his landing […]

Lions Split On Jeff Okudah, Derrick Brown

Detroit Lions general manager Bob Quinn is favoring Ohio State cornerback Jeff Okudah with the No. 3 overall pick, while head coach Matt Patricia wants Auburn defensive tackle Derrick Brown, according to a league source. And that's if the Lions even stay at No. 3 overall, as the Dolphins have been trying to move up […]
