- After much foreshadowing, Eli Harold will no longer be a Lion
- Luke Willson has moved on
- Which NFC North team has improved itself the most so far?

- Are the Lions interested in a trade for Jadaveon Clowney?
- The value of picks as a team trades back in the draft
- Where is the best value in the top-10?
- Ed Oliver was great at his pro day and he happens to be a FULL QIB qualifier at 5 different positions
- What are the differences between LB Devin White and LB Devin Bush?
- Who are other off-the-ball LBs that can fill the Lions needs?
