Pride Of Detroit Lions Blog PODcast: Analyzing the Lions? slot receiver problem.
A week spent reclaiming a lost PODcast finally bears fruit.
90 Minutes.

This week on the PODcast:
Rundown on the big names out there in free agency. It?s looming close and the possibilities are growing as teams start to make cuts.

One of the big free agency questions we stumble upon: how will the Lions address the inside receiving game if Anquan Boldin doesn?t return to the team?
Does it open up the possibilities for more tight ends, or will the Lions need to look for another receiver to continue their current offensive scheme?

How willing should the Lions be to break the bank on a big free agent at a position of need?

We continue the positional review talking about linebackers, the scapegoat of the defense in 2016, and try to figure out where it can improve for 2017.

Mailbag discusses the worst of the worst in general managers in sports, who would win in fights, Ameer Abdullah and theories about a flat earth.

NFL awards 11 third-round compensatory picks, zero for Lions.
The Detroit Lions will not have any additional draft picks in the 2017 draft.

While the Lions were not given any draft picks, they were significantly impacted by today?s announcement. With an additional 11 third-round picks, the Lions? fourth-round selection moved from 117th overall to 128th.

This will be the first year that NFL teams can trade compensatory picks, so there is a chance the Lions end up with one after all.
