Front Office Football Central - View Single Post - FOFC GroupThink 2023: We take over the Detroit Lions

Cornerback, defensive line and WR are all areas that could really use some help. All of these were known issues going into the offseason.

I think the Lions were banking on Mosley being healthy (he wasn't) and CJ Gardner-Johnson not getting hurt (he did) along with Cam Sutton as their defensive back upgrades in the offseason. Given the injuries, they could definitely use a solid starter.

They really didn't do anything to address the DL, except for draft a massive project in Brodic Martin in the third round, or WR, except for drafting Antoine Green in the 7th round.

Christian Gonzalez looked absolutely legit before going down with the shoulder injury.
