Here’s how they describe their WAR metric:In regards to the Lions, Justin Coleman and Trey Flowers were PFF’s favorite signings. According to PFF, Flowers’ 77 pressures in 2018 were more than any Lions player has had since the site was established (2006). That includes the likes of Ndamukong Suh and Ezekiel Ansah.

Coleman gives like Lions an additional “near-third of a win above replacement” due to his back-to-back years with a coverage grade over 75.0.

The Lions own the eighth overall pick. They have nine selections overall, including four in the top 111.General Manager Bob Quinn would love even more.“I always like draft picks, so if we could move back a little bit, a couple spots Luke Willson Jersey White , and pick up another pick, I think this is a really good, the depth of this draft from the late first to the third, there’s a lot of really good players in there,” Quinn said on Ian Rapoport’s podcast, via Justin Rogers of the . “If I could ever move back a few spots, get a really good player in the first round and add another pick http://www.lionslockerroom.com/authentic-kenny-golladay-jersey , I think that’s something that would be great. People out there listening, I’m open for business.”Dave Birkett of the lists cornerback, tight end, receiver, interior offensive line and defensive line as the team’s biggest needs. Lions coach Matt Patricia said last week the team has “a couple of target points,” but added “we’re always just going to try to keep finding good players.”
