With the Ford Family ownership it's always been maybe "Next Year." An endless cycle of mediocracy and stealing from the Fan Base.Don't care if they do. They aren't going to be good this season, and a high pick in the draft will be ideal.

In the past 20 years the Organization has gone through 6 head coaches and 2 interim HC's. Rebuilding and/or a different philosophy and scheme/system.there is simply no way to get around it taking a couple of years to retool after Quintricia decimated this roster.
That right there seems to be the Ford Family game plan.There isn't a lot of talent, it will take time.
Your 3rd overall pick from last season looks like a complete bust,

too early to state this, imo. Yes, he's had a rough 1st year but so do the majority of rookie and even 2nd year CB. There is one CB from the 2020 draft that stood out for the entire year or even 1/2 the year. It's the most difficult defensive position to transition to coming from CFB.
I understand your thought process though I think there exist too many other variables as to why he was so bad.
What do you think the Lions are going to look like this year...
1. An offense that needs to outscore our defense?
2. A defense that shows up without an offense?

That said, I've seen nothing that gives me any hope that JO is anything other than a zone CB or a nickel back. You can't waste a 3rd overall on that.
If you take a CB in the top 5, they have to be hall of fame material.
I hold nothing against him though. He didn’t draft himself 3rd after facing maybe 3-4 NFL caliber receivers.It's quite possible you could end up being correct with this statement.
I hope not but @broncosmitty tried to warn me regarding Okudah and at this time, you both stand being correct.
agree here, but it's damn near inconceivable to truly know whether any of these players, no matter their position, will become HOF players.
The only CB's taken in the 1st round over the last dozen years that "might currently qualify as HOF" are most likely Patrick Peterson and maybe Joe Haden and Stephon Gilmore. The first two were 5th and 7th overall, i think, but I see your rationale.

Never mind making the playoffs, I don’t see how this team doesn’t finish last in the division.UH OH, @broncosmitty might want to pull all of his
together

Either Detroit Lions fans have a huge share of the gambling market, or there are a lot of sports bettors hoping to cash in on long-shot odds.
Because according to sports business reporter Darren Rovell, no team has received more bets at BetMGM to make the playoffs in 2021 than the Detroit Lions.
At the time of this publication, the Lions currently have +700 odds to make the postseason, which means a $100 bet would yield a $700 profit if the bettor wins the wager. Only the Houston Texans have longer odds, with a current potential payout of +900.
The general thought on the 2021 Detroit Lions is that they will be in contention for the first overall pick this year. The over/under for 2021 wins is set between four and six, depending on which betting site you look at. Just a few weeks ago, it was reported that the Lions were the team receiving the most “over” bets at five wins. Of the money bet on the Lions’ win total at BetMGM, 84 percent was on the over. But here’s the twist: 90 percent of those bets came from the state of Michigan.
The NFL Network cut the last 7 minutes of the Lions/Steelers game during a PRE-SEASON game. Week 3 is set for.... roll.... 4:30 AM EST Saturday.Never mind making the playoffs, I don’t see how this team doesn’t finish last in the division.
