Pride Of Detroit Lions Blog PODcast ranks the top 5 needs for the Detroit Lions entering into free agency. 75 minutes.
Plus, reactions from a conference championship weekend of controversies.

This week on PODcast
Someone please tell me who Denise Austin is. I don?t have Google.

LISTCAST is back. It?s good again. It smells like a used football.

The draft is coming. Free agency is coming. We each rank what we each feel are the top five needs for this team, and ideas and players who we see filling those roles.

Playoff reactions baby.

Why opening up PI review could be a disaster in the making, regardless of how salty Saints fans may be today.

Playoff overtime needs to change, quick.
...but would you care about those changes if we put the Lions in the place of the Rams or Patriots today?
How value are those principles of the game OR DO YOU JUST WANNA WIN BABY?

Last but not least, who are you pulling for now?

Mailbag answers more fast food questions (can?t have enough), talks about Greedy Williams (what a nickname), takes stock of how many first-round draft picks the Rams have and the value or lack thereof in a London game.

Jeremy finishes the show with a mini-rant about erroneous reports about Gerald McCoy.
 
Detroit Lions grab a different guard in ESPN?s 2018 NFL re-draft.
Would you take Frank Ragnow again knowing what you know now?
Now that the 2018 season is over for 30 of 32 NFL teams, one common exercise during the offseason is to revisit the draft. It hasn?t even been a full month since the Detroit Lions took Frank Ragnow with the 20th overall pick. But knowing what we know now, would the Lions have gone a different way if given the gift of hindsight?

That?s what ESPN looked to find out with their 2018 NFL re-draft. Analysts for every team re-drafted based on the team?s needs and what we know about the rookie class now.

Interestingly enough, Michael Rothstein didn?t change positions for the Lions? pick, but did change the player. With the 20th overall pick, Rothstein re-drafted Giants guard Will Hernandez to the Lions, who ended up going 34th overall in the actual 2018 draft.

In terms of efficiency, both Hernandez and Ragnow had similar rookie years. Hernandez finished with a 65.8 PFF grade, while Ragnow graded out at 61.9. Hernandez was a little better at pass blocking, but Ragnow beat him at run blocking?which is something the Lions clearly valued in Ragnow.

In the re-draft, Ragnow only dropped one spot, going to the Bengals, who were reportedly interested in drafting Ragnow in real life.
