EDTShareTweetShareShareDetroit ‘in the running’ for hosting a future NFL Draft Photo by Frederick Breedon/Getty ImagesSince becoming team president, one of Rod Wood’s goals has been to bring a big NFL event to Detroit, whether it be the NFL Draft or the Super Bowl. With Detroit having hosted the Super Bowl in 2006, the NFL Draft always seemed like the more realistic goal.Wood and Detroit were denied for the 2019 and 2020 drafts and weren’t one of the five finalists to host the event. This year, Nashville hosted the NFL Draft. Next year’s will be in Las Vegas. However at Wednesday’s “Taste of the Lions” event, Wood announced that they were being considered for the next set of drafts. “We’re in the running for a couple years from now for an opportunity to bring the draft here Darius Slay Jersey ,” Wood said. “You can’t do what they did in Nashville, but there are things we may be able to do that would be in that vein, and have the whole downtown showcased, and probably use multiple venues.”The league has been moving the NFL Draft around from city to city since leaving its primary location at Radio City Music Hall in New York City back in 2015. This year’s draft in Nashville produced both record attendance and record ratings. Though Wood admitted Nashville had the advantage of having its unique Broadway area, he paid close attention of the city’s event and used it as a learning process.“I think what we learned is we need to do something, if we’re going to do it here, that’s really iconically Detroit,” Wood said. “So we have a few ideas on how we may do that.”We won’t know for some time if Detroit will win out. According to Wood Matthew Stafford Jersey , the 2021 and 2022 NFL Drafts are expected to be voted on at next year’s owner meetings in the spring.Regardless, Wood is optimistic that the continual improvements in the city downtown will give Detroit a fighting chance.“It’s changing every month in a positive way, so I’m excited that we’re going to get an opportunity to bring one here.” The Detroit Lions won’t be getting a lot of postseason honors this year. Granted, Darius Slay earned his second-straight Pro Bowl and Quandre Diggs was named an alternate. However, Detroit was shut out of All-Pro voting and no one will likely be up for any official postseason awards.That being said, the Lions’ rookie class was impressive in 2018 and worthy of a considerable amount of praise. Perhaps the biggest impact came from fourth-round pick Da’Shawn Hand. The defensive tackle consistently led all rookie interior defenders in Pro Football Focus grades, and his traditional stats were pretty impressive, too: 27 tackles Jarrad Davis Jersey , four tackles for loss, 3.0 sacks, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery. For a rotational player, that’s pretty impressive.All of this production resulted in ESPN naming him to their All-Rookie team. Lions first-round pick Frank Ragnow also got an honorable mention amongst the guards. Though this is likely to be outdated soon, here is a nice little cheat sheet for the coaching jobs still open around the NFL and the changes made in this offseason alone: The Indianapolis Colts are making a shocking move, firing offensive line coach Dave DeGuglielmo, per NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo. He’s sure to be a hot name among those still searching for an o-line coach, and it’s worth noting that he worked with the New England Patriots. In fact Teez Tabor Jersey , the reason he was in Indy was because Josh McDaniels hired him before backing out of the Colts head coaching job.I miss him already. Here are Kerryon Johnson’s highlights from his rookie season: Jeff Risdon of Lions Wire is at the East-West Shrine Game this week. With practices underway, Risdon wrote a quick profile on an under-the-radar cornerback prospect: James Madison’s Jimmy Moreland, who he sees as a good fit with Detroit. In Pro Football Focus’ latest mock draft, they slot cornerback Greedy Williams to the Lions with the eighth-overall pick.The Pro Football Writers of America made their selections for All-NFC and All-AFC teams. Unsurprisingly, the Lions did not make the list.
