Jim Schwartz is a defensive minded coach, so one would think that they would continue to improve in that direction. Certainly worth taking a flyer on since you can't draft a rookie defense and I have found that once a team is worth rostering it has usually already been taken in my leagues.

I think almost overhyped. Taken 3rd in a startup I'm in. Got taken at pick 45 in a rookie draft. They may be startable for a long time, but there's still holes there behind the maybe-elite DL.
Not really seeing where the holes are. The Lions did a lot of work upgrading both their LB and secondary in free agency. Their pickups in the secondary are going to be better than people expect. I say that now, but as I speak both Wright and Houston are banged up. The Lions do lack depth there, but their starting lineup if healthy, will be a top 10 defense.

I took them in the 13th round. They would have been 2nd taken if not for somebody at the turn taking a D. Then again - I only went for them there because I knew the RB I wanted would last (he went to me in the 17th) and there's a DET homer in the league.I think thy can be Steelers like for most of this decade. The Bears OLine looks like it may take a bit of time to fix. A defense starts with the DLine and they have a great safety in Delmas and a nice LB corps. They could be a top 5-7 defense for 10 years...I think it's worth it in the startup late rounds where we're taking shots at guys like Golden Tate...Lonyae Miller...why not take the D?'thriftyrocker said:
