Pride Of Detroit Lions PODcast: NFL?s Top 10 WRs for 2018, discussing potential Gronk trade. 58 minutes.
Who are the top 10 wide receivers in the game? The PODcast debates.

LISTCAST is back! With no more real Detroit Lions news to discuss, it?s officially listing season throughout the NFL, and the PODcast kicks things off with wide receivers.

There?s a changing of the guard at the wide receiver position, with some of the old mainstays getting replaced by a class of up-and-coming phenoms. This week the PODcasts lists of who they think are the best 10 wide receivers in the year of 2018!

This week?s topics:
Rob Gronkowski trade talks? Were the Lions ever serious about this? Do they really need him? What should they pay for him? The PODcast briefly discusses this under-the-radar news.

TOP 10 WIDE RECEIVER LISTCAST. The crew names the top 10 wide receivers in the league, and Chris doesn?t screw this one up!

Who is the best Lions wide receiver: Marvin Jones Jr. or Golden Tate?
Does either deserve to be on this list? The gang debates, and does not agree with each other.

The ?Way Back Machine? takes us back to Week 5?s game against the Carolina Panthers. The warning signs were there, did we ignore them?

Mailbag discusses the one Bob Quinn move we?d change, a POD staff Name Bracket, and our favorite World Cup underdogs.

Lions already have added Raye to their list of player personnel execs. They list him below Kyle O'Brien, Lance Newmark, Brendan Prophett, Bob Quinn's top 3 lieutenants.

Raye was a highly-coveted personnel manager who most recently interviewed for the Carolina Panthers? general manager position. His NFL resume includes five years as the Chargers? Director of Player Personnel, four years with the Colts as the Vice President of Football Operations and a year as the Texans? Vice President of Player Personnel/Assistant General Manager.

Raye is the son of Jimmy Raye II, who was a short-term NFL player in the 60s and a long-time coach. At one point, he was even briefly the Lions? running back coach from 1978 to 1979.

This represents yet another move by Bob Quinn to put his stamp on the franchise. Quinn has essentially overhauled everything in the front office, from the scouting department to the media relations department. The fact that he can pull executives that have drawn interest throughout the league has got to be a good sign for the future of this franchise.

Raye?s addition to the Lions strengthens an already incredibly deep group of young executives who have a strong background in scouting, including Quinn, vice president of player personnel Kyle O?Brien, director of player personnel Lance Newmark and director of pro scouting Brendan Prophett.
