Dynasty Nerds

Unless you live under a rock, you know about the Detroit Lions and their 2023 success. The team made the playoffs, won the NFC North, and was on the precipice of winning the NFC Championship. They went 12-5, then defeated the Rams and Buccaneers before falling to the 49ers. The offense was a top-five unit with a strong passing and rushing attack. Jared Goff, Jahmyr Gibbs, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and Sam LaPorta are studs in a young nucleus of talent that could be a problem for defenses for a long time. The defense keeps getting better but the secondary was exposed in games the Lions struggled. The team addressed the trenches in free agency, signing a few offensive guards and DJ Reader to plug the middle on defense. They traded for Carlton Davis to help in the secondary and signed Marcus Davenport on a friendly deal to help the pass-rushing rotation.
