LIONS

The Detroit Lions need to stay healthy. They had 22 players on IR. The next closest team was the Browns with 18 then the Dolphins & Giants with 15. 

Detroit lost both offensive and defensive coordinators this offseason. 

Lions have a number of free agents. Most notably Kevin Zeitler (RG), Carlton Davis (CB), Ifeatu Melifonwu (S), Derrick Barnes (LB), & Levi Onwuzurike (DT).

Detroit should try and resign Davis, Barnes, and Onwuzurike. If they can't resign Davis then they could sign cornerback DJ Reed (NYJ) or Charvarius Ward (SF). If they don't sign Barnes they could sign linebacker Josh Sweat (Phi) or Khalil Mack (LAC). 

Zietler will be 35 years old when next season starts. Lions could go younger at guard with Trey Smith (KC), Will Fries (Ind), or Mekhi Becton (Phi). 

If Detroit wants to go all in this next season, trade a couple of first round picks to Cleveland for Myles Garrett. Who wouldn't love to see Adian Hutchinson and Myles Garrett on the same team?!

I don't want to hear about teams in LA or San Francisco. And I definitely don't want to hear about those damn Cowboys! Those midwest teams in the NFL include: Kansas City Chiefs, Minnesota Vikings, Green Bay Packers, Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions, Indianapolis Colts, Cincinnati Bengals, & Cleveland Browns. What do the Chiefs need to do after losing the superbowl? Do the Vikings sign Sam Darnold or roll with JJ McCarthy? Do the Packers make a trade offer for Myles Garrett?  Can the Bears sign some o-linemen to give Caleb Williams enough time to throw the ball? If the Lions stays healthy, how far can they go in the post season? Is Anthony Richardson the answer at QB for the Colts? Can the Bengals get some help on defense? What do the Browns do with Deshaun Watson? Are they really going to trade My...

The LA Clippers beat down the Denver Nuggets last night to take a 2-1 lead in their series. The Clippers were better than the Nuggets in almost ever statistical category which showed since they won by 34 points.  Nikola Jokic had a triple double, but only scored 23 points which is below his season average of almost 30 points per game. Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon both score in double digits, but the rest of team didn't help too much.  Denver and LA were 2-2 in the 4 games they played against each other this year.

The Denver Nuggets may be the team that can take out the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Nuggets did bring the Thunder to seven games in the Western Conference Semifinals this past post season.  They resigned Bruce Brown, signed Tim Hardaway Jr., Aaron Gordon will be healthy heading into the season, and Nikola Jokic will be a top three MVP player. Losing out on Jonas Valanciunas sucks, but maybe they'll be able to sign Bradley Beal if he becomes available?
