The 2026 NFL Draft is behind us, and the Lions went for a high-floor strategy of taking players who seemingly have set roles in the scheme come Day 1 of the off-season. This is how (in my humble opinion) the 2026 Lions rookie class will fit into the Lions' scheme, with some player comparisons, so you can visualise my vision.

I hope y'all enjoyed the bye week and your break from Lions football (though damn, were most of those early slate games bad or what?). Luckily for us, Detroit is back this week, hosting Minnie Mouse-sota for a divisional ding-dong battle.

After consulting with my many, many, 10 fans, and in hopes of changing our fates, I'm changing up how I do my game previews. I will now look at three or four key stats I think will prove key in the game ahead. Let's dive into the Bucs-Lions game preview.

This week, our 2-1 Lions come home to defend the den as an old foe makes the short trip to try their darndest to put us back to .500. Once again, the Great Lakes Classic is upon us, as the 1-2 Cleveland Browns come to town.

Am I above making a cheeky innuendo? No. After last week's debacle, I think we all need a joke to lift our mood (Why did Tua open a bakery? Because he's great at making turnovers). Did you expect any less of me?

I take a look at how that's affected the roster and the possible starting lineups for offense and defense.
