Pride Of Detroit Lions Podcast 2019 NFL Draft Preview, Predictions. 68 minutes.
We?re loaded with guests for our 2019 NFL Draft Preview. Must Listen.

It?s officially NFL Draft week, which means we?re pulling out all of the stops to help preview the 2019 draft class and what the Detroit Lions may do starting on Thursday night. We?ve got analysis, we?ve got predictions, we?ve got best and worst case scenarios. And best of all, we?ve got a loaded PODcast this week full of guests and surprises.

This week, we got Kent Lee Platte, PFF?s Brett Whitefield, and Alex Reno finally makes his return to the podcast. We got an entire segment devoted to each one of these draft experts to see what their individual thoughts are for this year?s draft. And let me tell you, there are a lot of differing opinions on what is going to happen on Thursday.

Each expert also runs through their ideal draft and some potential names Lions fans should get to know for Days 2 and 3 of the NFL Draft. We leave no stone unturned, so make sure you listen to the entire show!

This week?s episode:
Kent, Alex, and Brett tell us who they want as the Lions? first-round pick.

Do the Lions get Matt Patricia a shiny, new defensive weapon or does the offense get a much-need addition?

No one can agree on what the Lions will do this weekend.

Jonah Williams: Could it really happen? What does it mean for 2019? What does it mean for Taylor Decker?

Mid-to-late round prospects the Lions could target this year.

What?s the worst-case scenario for Lions draft weekend?

Montez Sweat not going to the NFL Draft. Is that a sign he?s dropping?

NFL GM Power Rankings.
NFL.com

Bob Quinn ranked as one of the worst GMs in the 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 general managers, and the former Patriots personnel advisor came in at 21st. While that may not seem all that bad, that number is actually only out of 25, since Rosenthal did not count the seven GMs that have only been on the job since 2017.

?The offensive and defensive lines have potential, but overall, this is a roster that ranks roughly around average without much potential to be great,? Rosenthal states. ?That?s where this Lions organization has lived for a while.?

While Rosenthal has a point that Quinn has struggled to find big playmakers in his three years on the job?and Quinn admitted as much this offseason?2019 could be a year in which the Lions GM puts those doubts to bed. He already added a few defensive playmakers in free agency, and this season is lining up to be breakout seasons for both Kenny Golladay and Kerryon Johnson.

It?s still somewhat early to say anything definitive about Quinn?s career in Detroit, but it does seem a bit insulting to put him below a guy like Dave Gettleman, who has lost all goodwill in New York just a year on the job there.
