According to the Trade Value Chart, the Lions hold 2,562 points worth of draft picks (not counting compensatory picks, which cannot be traded). For the sake of nice round numbers, and allowing a...

HT to ATL Lion for this post. I thought I'd submit another one. Draft Day rolls around. The top four picks end up being Joeckel, Fisher, Ansah and Lotulelei (in whatever order). The...

It's long been the general consensus that Luke Joeckel and Eric Fisher are the top two tackles in this class, and Lane Johnson of Oklahoma comes in third somewhere. There are some strongly...

Seems like there's a growing consensus that, for this draft, there just isn't the top-5 talent there should be: there are two offensive tackles, Luke Joeckel and Eric Fisher, and then a big drop...

If Star Lotulelei happens to be the best player available at # 5, should/could/would we switch to a 3-4 with Lotulelei at Nose? Here's how I think our current roster fits and adjusts, what do...

A few weeks ago, I found this great blog post (link) by a guy who researched every draft pick trade from 1992-2008 (it's a few years old). He built a list of all trades, and what a team recevied...

Thank you to everyone who turned in a big board. I've compiled the results, and here is the final big board, ordered by each player's average ranking: 1. Matt Kalil - OT, USC (average ranking:...

-- -- -- -- UPDATE: 3/30: 1. THANK-YOU to everyone who has submitted their rankings. 2. If anyone has not yet submitted their big board, I think I'll leave this open through the weekend and will...

  I wish I could post a poll in the comments section of this excellent discussion going on about our run game (or lack thereof) and whether it's even necessary because of how strong our pass...

The long countdown is almost over.  If we can't trade out of pick 13, and these are the best players available, which player do you want us to draft of these guys:S E V E N T Y - F I V E    W O...

Through the disappointment of so many close losses and late-game fall-aparts we've seen, it is, I believe, important to look at some of the positive aspects of the Lions' play to get an idea just...

Gauging the confidence of Lions fans for Sunday against St. Louis.

I apologize for pulling an "I know this should be a fanshot but nobody reads those", but this was a very encouraging read.  Cunningham is sometimes over the top, but when he puts Vanden Bosch...

I was curious what kind of contract to expect for Suh, so I looked up some numbers for comparison's sake of the #1 - #3 picks this year compared to last year.Note: All of these contract $$ numbers...

Okay, it's Thursday morning.  Camp is imminent.  Suh still isn't signed.  What do you think is the biggest item, right now, keeping him from being signed? S E V E N T Y - F I V E  W O R D S!...

Given all the roster turnover that happens every year, and all the new players coming in, it takes me a few games before I can comfortably recall all the jersey numbers for new players who might be...

I think the consensus, nearly everywhere I've read, is that the Lions are somewhere between "bad" and "average", better than last year, 'on their way up', etc, but 2010 isn't the year.  Somewhere...

Who came away with the best value in the three-way trade?   S E V E N T Y - F I V E    W O R D S ? S E V E N T Y - F I V E    W O R D S ? S E V E N T Y - F I V E    W O R D S ? S E V E N...

I can't believe we're only 12 days away from the start of the draft.  I feel like a little kid waiting for Christmas, you know how it goes. Anyway, of the guys we brought in who are expected to...

Please, indulge me while I ramble.  Or don't, there are shorter fanposts to read...What I like about Picking OkungOkay, I'm going to have to turn off my knee-jerk "BPA Suh or Berry! BPA Suh or...

A statistical breakdown of the careers of Nate Burleson and Bryant Johnson.

Ok, suppose we're hoping for better value from a trade-down, in terms of salary impact, and the number of guys we can pick in the first few rounds, than simply picking somebody at #2 and paying him...

Inspired by the great comments in Lostincali's post here, and because I like data, I'm curious to see just a snapshot of how we in the PoD community are spread out...Sorry if there is overlap in...

I'm going to challenge conventional wisdom, a little bit, that says trading down is usually good for rebuilding teams that have a lot of needs, while trading up is usually good for good teams...

I didn't know this story until today, but it makes perfect sense.  This little nugget was in Killer's Q&A on MLive today: (question): " ...  What is it about general manager Martin Mayhew's...

At this point in time, right after the end of the season, I'm curious to know which way the consensus is leaning in PoD's collective expectations that the player most of us want will still...

If not, sorry for the zillionth fanpost on the same subject, but I hope this poll can show us, generally, how everyone approaches the subject we've been debating. I   N E E D   T O   H I...

  Captain Obvious says: For the sake of our offense, it is very important for us to build a solid offensive line.  We know we have talent at a lot of skill positions, but to get the most out of...

An interesting comparison of Matthew Stafford and Peyton Manning through the first six games of their careers.

Lions fan here...I just posted this on Pride of Detroit, in case anyone there is interested.  I picked what I thought were the most relevant stats and tried to stay unbiased, but it's not...
