Huge honor for ARSB & Penei, second year guys trying to establish themselves. The former is back in California working out with his brothers & dad, no days off. The latter is busy with his newborn son but I’m sure it means a lot for him.
Who knows about Jared. Would probably turn up, it’s his third time but first in four years. Good year statistically from a standard stats perspective - top 3 to top 8 in most categories, 5th in QBR (behind only Hurts amongst NFC players.) Think he’s getting married sometime soon - got engaged last summer - but probably feels great to receive the recognition.

Yeah he’s pissed he was an alternate I’m sure. More names to add to his list.

In the present it probably feels a little more like the latter. In the future though I am sure they will appreciate it.
"Amon Ra St Brown, 8x Pro-Bowl, 2x All-Pro, Super Bowl champ and MVP, first ballot Hall of Famer" has a much better ring to it than "Amon Ra St Brown, 7x Pro-Bowl, 2x All-Pro, Super Bowl champ and MVP, first ballot Hall of Famer".

Detroit Lions reportedly hiring Arizona Cardinals' Steve Heiden as TEs coach
The Lions have at least one other opening after firing defensive backs coach Aubrey Pleasant at midseason.
The Detroit Lions will have a new tight ends coach in 2023.
The Lions are hiring former Arizona Cardinals assistant Steve Heiden to coach tight ends, ESPN reported Monday.
Heiden's addition is one of several changes expected to the Lions' assistant coaching ranks. Heiden spent the past 10 seasons with the Cardinals, including the past four as tight ends coach.
He played 11 NFL seasons at tight end (1999-2009) with the San Diego Chargers and Cleveland Browns and was taken 10 picks before Lions coach Dan Campbell, another ex-NFL tight end, in the 1999 NFL draft. He started his coaching career at Concordia University in 2012, joining the Cardinals as assistant special teams/assistant tight ends coach a year later.
Heiden replaces Tanner Engstrand, who served as tight ends coach/pass game coordinator last season. Engstrand's role for 2023 is not immediately clear.
The Lions set a franchise record with 12 receiving touchdowns by tight ends this season, despite trading top tight end T.J. Hockenson to the Minnesota Vikings at the trade deadline. Brock Wright and Shane Zylstra had four touchdowns each, Hockenson had three in seven games before his trade, and rookie fifth-round pick James Mitchell had one.
The Lions, coming off a 9-8 season, could return all three of their coordinators for 2023.
Offensive coordinator Ben Johnson will return for a second season as play caller after interviewing for head coaching vacancies with the Carolina Panthers, Houston Texans and Indianapolis Colts. Special teams coordinator Dave Fipp is expected back for a third season in that role. And defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn remains on staff for now after interviewing with the Cardinals and Colts. Glenn is one of the top candidates for the Arizona job, NFL Network reported.

Lions QB Jared Goff headed to the Pro Bowl as an alternate. Joins Matthew Stafford as the only Lions QBs since Greg Landry to go.
12:03 PM · Jan 31, 2023
****************
Up to four Pro Bowlers now: Ragnow, Sewell, ARSB, Goff. Plus Raymond got second team All Pro. I know, I know, NBD, nobody cares. But we've shut up (deservedly) so many times in the last 5 years it's really nice to see the recognition.
edit: this is the first time since 1971 the Lions have had 4 (or more) Pro Bowlers

What do you mean?
How could you not be electrified at the prospect of watching a skills competition with the elite AFC Pro Bowl QB duo of Derek Carr & Tyler Huntley???
That's appointment television right there. I'm.busting out my betamax to record it just in case my TiVo breaks down.
BobbyLayne
Footballguy
I’m pretty sure the last Pro Bowl I watched featured an AFC starting running back tandem of Franco Harris & O.J. Simpson. Big fan of both when I was a little kid.
Every North American team sport all star game is farcical, that aspect isn’t unique to the Pro Bowl. It’s mostly about fan experience geared towards children: slam dunk contest, home run derby, skills competition.
Sustainable interest is inextricably linked to families having shared generational ties. We root for the teams because our fathers and grandfathers did (though in my case my mom was the sports nut; dad played quarterback in h.s. but was a casual forever.)
My mom loved all sports. I once got spanked (#truestory
) bc I forgot to wake her from a nap in time to see the beginning of an ALCS game. My uncle, a lifelong mentor, was a tortured Lions fanatic. He took me to my first games at Tiger Stadium and the Silverdome. One of the biggest thrills of my life was meeting Lem Barney (he was a patient being fitted for contact lenses.)Anyway…lots of people became for different reasons I’m sure. There is certainly no shortage of degenerates who just want some action. But the familial ties and growing the game by making it fun for kids are a pretty solid reason to keep Pro Bowl (or any ASG contest) going.

Lions Assistant head coach/RBs coach Duce Staley is leaving to join Frank Reich's Carolina Panthers staff.

Justin Rogers confirmed today Tanner Engstrand is still slotted to be the Passing Gane coordinator.
Two open positions atm - DBs and RBs assistant coaches.
Leroy Hoard

The Duce is loose.
Somehow I don't think D'Andre Swift is crying about this tonight.
I agree. Those two are complete opposites personalities. Swift is very talented, but needs someone more laid back to relate to. Swift was going backwards and this gives him new life.

I don't think Swift is going to ever be great, but losing Duce is way better than Johnson, Fraley, or even Glenn.

Glenn just had a second interview with the Colts.
I think having Duce as a coach will
I think Swift will be happy to have a different coach, but I'm not sure it will make him a better RB. He makes some bad choices when picking a lane to go upfield.

For his sake, I hope he doesn't get it.
On the other hand, if I were up for a job against a guy who got hired with no experience, did a terrible job as interim, and still managed to beat me out for the full-time gig, I'm not sure I could ever recover from that ego blow

He also has a second interview with the Cardinals.
I struggle to see how a GM is going to sell an Aaron Glenn hire to the fans - "This guy oversaw the worse defense in the NFL the last two years, so he's the perfect choice to lead us to glory!!!"
I mean, I think he's actually a really good coach and has head coach-leadership qualities, but it seems like a really tough sell to a new fan base.

I don't know how it would work moneywise with ARSB and Penei needing new contracts in a year or 2 but if Tee Higgins is available for pick 6, I think the Lions have to deeply consider that. He would perfectly pair with ARSB and Jamo. With those weapons, I think Goff could absolutely play at a Pro Bowl level and a win a SB.
BobbyLayne
Footballguy
I’m kind of hoping there is 1-2 QBs left at 6 and we can swing a trade with ATL for 8/44 or CAR for 8/39. Gives them Levis or Richardson and we stick with Bresee/Gonzales or even go B2B with say Witherspoon/Porter at 8/9 + 18.
Higgins would be an amazing addition but we’re probably looking at 5/$100m to lock him up. Would rather fill up the gaping holes on defense.
ETA: if he falls (& presuming we don’t resign Chark), Quentin Johnston at 1.18 would be a much cheaper solution for the X WR. Might have to move up 2-3 spots though.
Moonlight
Footballguy
I favor this outcome as well. It would be a blessing if we could trade down with ATL or Carolina. For many years prior to Holmes we have desired a trade down but there was no interest; it would be a further sign that the Lions' luck and future have changed if we can trade down with a QB hungry team. There will be plenty of good defensive players available at the ATL or Carolina pick.
Ilov80s
Footballguy
I absolutely am in favor of trading back. Not sure we are going to be fortunate enough for that to work out but let’s cross our fingers. Early opinions seems to be there are 3 potential franchise QBs and 2 elite defensive prospects which could leave Detroit picking from the start of a whole new tier which is never ideal.
As for Johnston, I’m not a big fan and wouldn’t be happy with him at 18. WR isn’t a huge need and I would only put that kind of investment into one that we know is a stud like Higgins.
TartanLion
Footballguy
We just need to either re-sign Chark or get a FA equivalent and maybe draft a new prospect in the middle to late rounds. I don’t feel we really need to do much with the WR room. Higgins is of course a great player but given we are pretty good there, I don’t think it would be a good way of spending our assets. He’s better than how much he would our O better, if that makes sense.
BobbyLayne
Footballguy
Lions have hired Scottie Montgomery (Colts) as their new Assistant HC & RBs coach
Da Guru
Fair & Balanced
They both have two years left plus a 5th year option. So there is plenty of time
I would trade 6 for Higgins. Big physical target, Lions could get back with a run of the mill TE with those 3 WRs
Ilov80s
Footballguy
Amon Ra doesn’t have a 5th year optio. It is probably best to resign stars before they enter their final season.
WR is a tough position to judge. We know exactly how Chark fits in and he is starting to gel with Goff. Goff in his entire career in college and in the pros has always taken time to gain trust in WR and use them effectively. Goff is reluctant to throw balls unless he knows exactly what his target is going to do. Eventhough some like TJ was talented, Goff did not trust him. Just sign Chark as he wants to be here and he fits in and he is really not that high dollar, $8-9M for three years.
Ilov80s
Footballguy
Unlikely but possible- there is that outside shot. We just want to see lots of trade ups for QB. I also would love to trade back but Witherspoon seems like an acceptable worst case scenario.

A couple of mocks also have Carter dropping to 6, with one of them having the Packers moving up to 7 and drafting a WR. The Raiders would get Aaron Rodgers in return along with a 2024 2nd. This echoes big money going on the Raiders to be ARs next team.

Pre-combine drafts are a good way to get a feel for where players are at perception wise - Shrine & Senior Bowl def helped a few guys stock - but March 3-5 will initiate the really big movements.
Other than 3-4 IOL and a couple excellent online blocking TEs I have very little interest in any offensive draft candidates.
Edit - OK, 6th round QB Clayton Tune is interesting just from a tool’s perspective
Would love to see 6-7 defensive players taken if they stay at 8 picks (goes to 9-10 if they trade back.)

Saw a Mock today in which Bruce fell to the 6th and the Panthers moved up
9 + 61
Man seems light but the Draft Pick Value Chart says it’s about right
I say if we can’t get a 1st & 2nd we should stay there
Jovan Witherspoon + O’Cyrus Torrence would be a great combo to start with. Little early on current projections but I think it’s worth it just to get the best man cover corner and the best IOL.
Should be about 6-7 CBs who could go in the first: Witherspoon, Gonzales, Porter Jr, Forbes, Ringo, S/CB Branch, possibly Ricks.
Could take Garrett Williams at 48 or 55, basically a red shirt investment bc he’ll still be rehabbing. Or grab a S like Battle or the Penn State dude.

Exactly one (1) NFL team scored five (5) offensive touchdowns versus the Eagles over their 20 game season

I assume you mean Bryce fell to 6. Lions could get way more than 9 and 61 for Bryce Young.
BobbyLayne

Yeah I would think if the Panthers are the trading partner the bare minimum is #9 + #39
BobbyLayne
Footballguy
It’s still hard to project that pre-combine but off film Witherspoon is an order of magnitude better at being a press corner (if that’s part of your defensive philosophy.)
Gonzales is the clear #2 CB in this class IMO, Cam Smith & JPJ are a coin flip at 3/4. I get why everyone loves Branch’s versatility but I’m not sure he’ll have as much impact as those four.
Watching Nick Bolton last night has me excited about the possibility of getting Trenton Simpson at 18. Next best cover + LB who is a good all around backer is Drew Sanders and he’s probably not there mid-second (whereas there will still be good CB/S at 48 & 55.)

if you enjoy NFL mock draft simulators, the PFF rankings tool have some huge post-Senior Bowl swings
seeing far different results today (was updated overnight) and I think it's a truer reflection of where things might shake out
of course they'll be another huge swing post-Combine but I think it's super interesting to note who is rising and who is falling early in the process

PFF has an article up on the biggest draft mistake for every team in the last 5 years.
Detroit:
My dream draft plan:
DBs and D-lineman
Rinse and repeat - would love to see two of each after 81 picks
LB late rounds - unless they like a hybrid cover guy like Henley, Overshawn or Simpson as the 5th Day 1 & Day 2 pick
G if one falls or maybe two versatile OL in the 5th/6th
QB project like Tune with the last pick
(or Jake Moody for the capper bc I miss having a Hanson/Prater kind of guy)

I'm in the all defense first round opinion, but copying over from Travdog's mock draft/Bobby Laynes possibility for the 2nd round (instead of a TE):
(BL): the Lions don't have a RG. Evan Brown is going to go get himself a money bag, Big V is a cap cut, and there's literally no one else on the roster.

This guy would be perfect for the Lions at #48. Age is less of a factor if he is projected as a week 1 starter. Could even slide over to center if Ragnow keeps having a bum toe.

Second highest ranked guard behind O'Cyrus Torrence. I actually wouldn't mind if we went G at #18 - get that 5th year option and he said at the Senior Bowl really wants to play for the Lions (culture, great OL, et al.) Then again they might take care of that situation before the draft.

Cody Mauch could be a good one as well in the second.
