Notes: Bob Quinn ranked as one of the worst GMs in NFL
Bob Quinn has yet to win over the national audience. For the most part, Detroit Lions fans are relatively happy with the job general manager Bob Quinn has done managing the team’s roster over the past three years. Last time we polled the audience, Quinn had a 76 percent approval rate just before the start of free agency. That number has likely gone up even more (we’ll see tomorrow) after the acquisition of Trey Flowers, Jesse James and Justin Coleman in free agency. Apparently, not everyone is impressed with the job Quinn has done. NFL.com’s Gregg Rosenthal ranked all of the NFL...

Rumors: Insiders think Lions could surprise with a QB in 1st round
Smokescreen season is in full effect. We have officially come full circle with NFL Draft rumors. Very early in the draft process, Detroit Lions general manager Bob Quinn surprised many by saying that every position was on the table for the Lions’ eighth overall pick, very much including quarterback. “If there’s a quarterback out there that we deem could help us this year or in the future, we’ll never close the door on that,” Quinn said at the Season Ticket Holder Summit back in February. But after that quote, rumors died down. No one really took that statement seriously,...

The Detroit Lions’ 2019 Draft is their most important in a decade
Matthew Stafford was supposed to be the franchise’s savior 10 years ago, now Detroit must find another one. The Detroit Lions closed out their 2018 campaign with a 31-0 victory over their arch-rival Green Bay Packers on the 30th of December. While the game did not matter much, both teams had already been eliminated from postseason contention, it was a symbolic victory for a team that had just gone through one of its worst seasons of the decade. A defense that was oft-maligned to start the year pitched a shutout, quarterback Matthew Stafford finished the year strong after an entire year of...

POD community mock draft, Round 2: Detroit Lions select...
After taking a pass rusher with their first pick, the Lions stick to the trenches in the 2nd by taking the top interior lineman in the draft. In the first round of our Community Mock draft, the Detroit Lions chose to address their pass rush and run defense by taking the lengthiest, fastest, and most explosive edge in the class in Montez Sweat. Sweat doesn’t come without risk, but he immediately improves this defense across from Trey Flowers. In the second round, the team had the option to address the tight end position, interior rush, linebacker, and interior line with plenty of strong...

POLL: Who should be the Lions’ second-round pick?
If the board falls this way, who are you picking in the 2nd round? It’s officially draft week and the Detroit Lions are on the clock in our Pride of Detroit Community Mock Draft.
