The Chicago Bears are ranked higher than at least the Lions

Detroit Lions: 32nd overall, 4th in NFC North

Okay, so maybe this wasn’t surprising at all, but in all honesty, I don’t know if I’d put them at the absolute rock bottom of the league. It’d be a challenge to convince people otherwise, but I think it can be done eventually.

After losing their top two receivers from last year — Kenny Golladay and Marvin Jones — the team’s wide receiver stock took a massive dip. When the Lions lose those two, they lack a go-to WR1. In the current NFL, that’s a big piece to be missing. However, the results of this draft could yield a better look on the field than what’s on paper.

I say that mainly because of their high-ceiling wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown from USC. Similar to Justin Fields and other rookies, they have yet to play a live NFL snap against an opposing team, so it’s hard to say how good they’ll be.

With their wideouts consisting of Breshad Perriman, Tyrell Williams, Quintez Cephus, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and a few others, it’s not entirely surprising to see this group so low. That being said, I wouldn’t be absolutely shocked if their value increased noticeably by mid-season. I also wouldn’t be shocked if they didn’t. This group is low-floor and mid-height ceiling at absolute best.

Another thing to note is this didn’t include their big target in the middle of the field: T.J. Hockenson. Now, I know he’s not a wideout and that’s why he wasn’t included, but all-in-all, he’s a major aspect of the receiving game. Not including him, which is totally by the rules, makes this group shine much less.
