Detroit Lions - Team Notes

Matt Millen was statistically just as bad as you think.
Let?s take a moment to be thankful of Bob Quinn.
Jeff Feyerer looked at the value of every NFL general manager from 2002 to 2015 based on their draft picks? approximate value (as calculated by Pro-Football-Reference).
Of the 90 general managers in his study, the Detroit Lions? own Matt Millen finished 89th. The one GM below him? Raiders legend Al Davis.

Detroit Lions Breakdown Podcast Episode #50: Combine Preview: Offense. 52 minutes.

The Lions attention has turned toward the combine which is only two Fridays away. This week Erik and Joe take a look at players the Lions might be focusing on?

Hank Fraley and Brian Picucci have been added to the offensive coaching staff.

Day 1 of the combine will feature the running backs and the offensive line.

Day 2 will feature the quarterbacks, wide receivers and tight ends.

The last 8 pre-combine Mel Kiper Mock Drafts are studied, as far as Lion picks in the first round go.

It is also worth noting that Ziggy Ansah is now eligible for a franchise tag.

The mailbag is very running back heavy this week.

As well as concern over left guard.

Erik and Joe finish the show with a discussion over what we would do with our free agent money and what the magic 8 ball sees for Quinn and Patricia?s future.

Thanks to Jon Aubry for the wonderful review.

Although we don?t talk about any of the articles in this episode (due to most of them concerning defense) it is notable that Erik continued his offseason outlook series on ? IOL, IDL, EDGE, LB, CB.
