The Detroit Lions have done a great job this offseason in building up their roster. After going 9-8 last season and just missing out on the playoffs, they should once again be in the mix in the NFC for at least a Wild Card spot. But, given the current state of the NFC North, Detroit could find themselves fighting for a division title.

Their defense was what needed the most work this offseason and the Lions have successfully upgraded that side of the ball. The secondary will receive a big boost with cornerbacks Cameron Sutton and Emmanuel Moseley and safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson.

With the backend now shored up, it is time for Detroit to get to work on fixing the front seven, namely the pass rush. 2022 first-round pick Aidan Hutchinson lived up to the hype as a rookie and James Houston came out of nowhere to produce as a pass rusher in the second half of the season.

Adding some help alongside those two in the 2023 NFL Draft would be ideal. Armed with the Nos. 6 and 18 picks in the first round, the Lions will certainly have the opportunity to do so. All that draft capital also means that they can get aggressive when making trades.
