Will Richards, DLD Writer

The path to the NFL is different for every player. Not every player has the easy road that Matt Barkley, the #1 QB prospect coming out of high school, who went directly to USC and then directly to the Philadelphia Eagles, had. Much more common is the path of a player like Charles Johnson (or CJ as he likes to be called), who has taken quite the winding road in his journey to an NFL roster. (more…)

Eye on the Enemy: Packer Edition

Friday, February 8th, 2013

Charles Woodson and the Packers have been looking down on the Lions for a long time


Will Richards, DLD Writer

What’s going on in Packerland is a question that everyone, even fans of the Packers would like to know. There hasn’t been a solid report out of Green Bay about the team’s off-season plans yet, and past history indicates that there won’t be one. Without any inside sources, it’s only possible to look at the entire situation broadly and come up with a logical prediction of what the team will do. Going over the team’s salary structure and previous handlings of the cap by the current administration, the Packers offseason strategy will revolve around getting their own players locked up for the foreseeable future.

Predicting the Compensatory Picks, Take Two

Sunday, January 20th, 2013

Will the Lions get anything for losing Drew Stanton in free agency?


Will Richards, DLD Contributor

Predicting the compensatory pick selections is far from an exact science. The last version had a lot of issues and I just wanted to say thank you to everybody who pointed out something that I missed. These comments helped me tremendously to come up with more accurate projections. As before, if you see something that you think is a problem, let me know and I’ll take a closer look.

Selections received by round:
3rd: Texans and Titans
4th: Ravens, Lions, and Packers
5th: Falcons, Ravens, and 49ers
6th: Ravens (x2), Panthers (x2), Raiders (x2), Texans (x3), Browns, Giants, Titans
7th: Cardinals, Falcons, Bengals, Packers, Dolphins, Eagles, Steelers, and Titans
End of the 7th because of record: Chiefs, Jaguars, Raiders, and Eagles.

21 Years and Counting: Lions/Packers nightcap

Monday, December 10th, 2012

by Jeff Risdon, Twitter @JeffRisdon

Another year, another trip to Wisconsin, another loss. This one was predictable but still painful, as the Lions thoroughly dominated the first half but failed to put enough distance on the Packers. Green Bay found its bearings and capitalized on Lions errors to pull away for the 27-20 win.
