Chris Perfett of Pride of Detroit was kind enough to answer some of our questions about the Lions and provide insight into their strengths and weaknesses.APC: Through four weeks, we have seen one extremely ugly performance from the Lions (Week 1’s 48-17 home stomping to the Jets), one impressive showing (Week 3’s 26-10 upset of the Patriots), and two hard-fought losses (Weeks 2 and 4). The sample remains small, but do you have a feel yet for what Detroit will be in 2018?APC: Though the Vikings generally garner more attention for their receiver tandem of Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen, the Lions offer a deeper group headlined by Golden Tate, Marvin Jones Jr., and Kenny Golladay. What are the strengths and weaknesses of Detroit’s receiving corps and how do you think the group compares to others in the league?APC: After the first quarter of the season, the Lions defense ranks 24th in points allowed (28.5 per game) and 27th in DVOA. Meanwhile, Ezekiel Ansah hasn’t played since the season opener and Quandre Diggs reportedly has a broken hand.

The New York Giants appear to be getting rid of everything on their defense that has any semblance of value. In just the past 24 hours, general manager Dave Gettleman has traded former first-round cornerback Eli Apple and big-contract nose tackle Damon Harrison Womens Lane Taylor Jersey , the latter of whom is among the best players at his position in the NFL. Gettleman got back in return three draft picks: one in the fourth round and one in the fifth round, both in 2019, and a seventh-rounder in 2020.That’s practically peanuts in exchange for an Apple and some snacks.For Green Bay Packers fans, a logical series of questions to ask would be whether there are other Giants available for trade, and if any of those would help the Packers in 2018 and possibly beyond. One name in particular stands out as a possibility: safety Landon Collins.After an up-and-down rookie season, Collins broke out in 2016, being named first-team All-Pro after recording five interceptions, 13 pass breakups, and 125 total tackles. He followed that up with another Pro Bowl season in 2017, recording a pair of picks and 99 tackles. So why would the Giants give up on a potential cornerstone defensive player? Simple: he’s in the final year of his contract. Sportsnet New York’s Ralph Vacchiano explains:As Vacchiano notes, the fact that Collins is in a contract year certainly makes it more sensible that the Giants could try to move him, particularly if they do not see him in their plans in the future.Admittedly, Collins is best as a box safety, where he can use his size and physicality to help stop the run. Still, he’s at least acceptable as a coverage player, and overall he would certainly be an upgrade over Kentrell Brice. Teaming him up with former Alabama teammate Ha Ha Clinton-Dix could make for an exciting pair over the remainder of the 2018 season.In the 2013 season Authentic Mike Daniels Jersey , the one year when the two safeties started side-by-side, Alabama held opposing teams to just 286 yards and 13.9 points per game. Bama lost one regular-season game that year — the infamous “Kick-Six” game against Auburn, who went on to lose in the National Championship Game to Florida State.Back to Collins, the question becomes what sort of compensation would make for a reasonable offer for both sides? If the Seattle Seahawks were indeed willing to accept a first-round draft pick for Earl Thomas earlier this season as was reported, it’s tough to imagine the Giants getting an equivalent pick for Collins, since Thomas is a superior player and also is in a contract year. That probably sets the ceiling for Collins in round two. Since the Giants traded Eli Apple, a malcontent who never fit in with the team, for a fourth and a future seventh, a higher pick seems necessary for Collins, who has been a far better player than Apple.Ultimately, a second-round or third-round pick could get the job done, or perhaps a fourth with a higher and earlier pick than the future seventh in the Apple trade. With the Packers holding two firsts right now, parting with a day-two pick next year to upgrade the safety position might not be excessive.
