‘Manningcast’ recap: Lions’ Dan Campbell says he doesn’t deserve coach of year

Dan Campbell just led the Detroit Lions from a 1-6 start to within a tiebreaker of the postseason. For these reasons and many others, Campbell is among the favorites for NFL coach of the year. Then again, Campbell’s Lions did turn the screws on New York and Jacksonville by a combined score of 71-32. He’s versatile, he’s explosive, he’s got a quick first step -- one of the quickest in the league, I think -- and he’s long. If that thing falls off, I don’t care where we’re at, it doesn’t matter, we’ll just keep going, all right?

2021 NFL draft preview: Detroit Lions remain in serious need of some linebackers

This is the seventh of an eight-part series previewing the Detroit Lions’ positional needs and priorities heading into the NFL draft, which is scheduled for Thursday-Saturday. With all that said, the Detroit Lions remain in need of a couple of linebackers. Notre Dame’s Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah has remained a popular trade-down candidate for Detroit, with his versatility and athletic traits standing out. If either of those two names slips into Round 2, then watch out because Collins or Davis would be a home-run scenario. He had 107 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss, three sacks and one interception last season.

The Nine: Micah Parsons could boost Detroit’s dreadful defense, but is the price right at Pick 7?

Detroit’s pick, if it sits on the pick, will almost certainly come from that list. Pro Football Focus graded Parsons with the second-highest mark against the run and third-highest tackling grade in the nation that season. He wasn’t asked to do much in coverage at Penn State, but that athletic ability instills some confidence in his ability to keep up in the open field. The Penn State linebacker also ran into some off-field problems at Penn State, creating another aspect of the evaluation for a new regime. He’s big, fast and had elite production in two seasons at Penn State.

Chase opted out of the pandemic-altered season one year removed from lighting college football on fire with Joe Burrow and Justin Jefferson.

NFL mock draft roundup: What happens if QB Justin Fields is still available at Pick 7?

ALLEN PARK -- Jared Goff’s presence and his restructured contract hasn’t eliminated the idea of sending a quarterback to the Detroit Lions at Pick 7. NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah released his third mock draft of the offseason, sending Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields to the Lions without a trade back in the order. Last week’s mock draft roundup brought Penei Sewell and Rashawn Slater into focus around these parts. Fields is supremely talented, no matter the usual draft tactics in trying to question his work ethic. Like Smith, Waddle is a little all over the place regarding where he’s mocked.

Detroit Lions are optimistic about turning around linebacker situation, not done yet

He had 41 tackles last season and ranked 34th among linebackers according to ProFootballFocus -- better than all of Detroit’s linebackers except Collins. I mean, we went back and watched him in 2019 when he played at linebacker quite a bit. But he just hasn’t run well enough or tackled well enough or played well enough for Detroit. I’ve said it all along, you’d like to go into this draft and not draft off need. But seventh overall could be a little rich for Parsons, and he might make more sense in a trade-back situation.

Penn State LB Micah Parsons runs eye-opening 40-yard dash, speaks to Detroit Lions at pro day

ALLEN PARK -- Micah Parsons might have further cemented his status as the top defensive player in this year’s draft, reportedly running the 40-yard dash in 4.39 seconds at his pro day. The Detroit Lions own Pick 7 in this year’s draft and could use more than a few capable bodies for their linebacker room. Parsons told reporters on Thursday that he had talked to the Lions a couple of times, including “the coach” at his pro day. “I’m going to just make plays happen as I did at Penn State, show these guys why Penn State breed the way we do, we always do this, we show up in big-time games and big-time moments, so I don’t think it’s going to be anything less.

NFL mock draft roundup: Lions remain tied to top receivers, Micah Parsons after recent moves

ALLEN PARK -- The three top wide receivers and Penn State linebacker Micah Parsons have remained favorites for the Detroit Lions at Pick 7 after a week-plus of moves in free agency. Jaylen Waddle, WR, AlabamaMocked by: Drafttek, The Athletic (beat writer mock), Fox Sports, Bucky Brooks of the NFL Network, Eric Edholm of Yahoo! With the Lions leaning toward athletic playmakers at receiver in recent weeks, one would have to imagine more mock draft attention will turn toward Waddle. “I wouldn’t have any issues with the other two either, from Alabama,” NFL Network draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah said in a recent conference call.

NFL Network analyst: Detroit Lions can’t go wrong with 1 of top receivers at Pick 7

It’s looking more likely the Detroit Lions head into next season without Kenny Golladay, creating a massive hole on an offense already preparing for life without Matthew Stafford. The NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah had Detroit using Pick 7 on Penn State linebacker Micah Parsons in his most recent mock draft. Jeremiah, a former college scout for the Ravens, Browns and Eagles, said Detroit has four good options at Pick 7. While he said the team “couldn’t go wrong” with either of the three top receivers, Jeremiah called LSU’s Ja’Marr Chase the potential home-run pick for the Lions while keeping Parsons in the mix.

ALLEN PARK -- The Detroit Lions have their fair share of defensive needs but could be in the position where Pick 7 is too early for that side of the ball. Mel Kiper had the Lions trading back in his most recent mock draft, landing Penn State linebacker Micah Parsons at Pick 12. Now, while the ESPN draft analyst doesn’t see Detroit targeting a quarterback on Day 1, he also believes No. “If you traded down and you’re the Detroit Lions, and you end up around 12, you look at Micah Parsons from Penn State or Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah from Notre Dame.

The Lions ranked dead-last in terms of defensive DVOA, a stat used to track a team’s efficiency from Football Outsiders. He measures at 6-foot-1, 216 pounds, which is far from prototypical NFL linebacker size, projecting him in the linebacker/safety hybrid territory.

In Kiper’s latest mock draft, the Lions trade the No. And then the Lions take Penn State linebacker Micah Parsons. Here’s what Kiper says:With the Lions moving down in my mock trade with the 49ers, that takes them out of the quarterback race but gives them extra draft capital.

Kiper has the Detroit Lions trading Pick 7 to the San Francisco 49ers in exchange for Pick 12 and additional draft capital. The draft analyst then has the Lions using their first pick on Penn State linebacker Micah Parsons, who has emerged as a low-key favorite for the team in recent weeks. His first mock had the Lions taking Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields at Pick 7, but that was on the heels of Matthew Stafford requesting a trade. Parsons stands out among the top prospects in this year’s draft as the best linebacker, and arguably defender, available from the get-go.

NFL mock draft roundup: It’s time to get to know Penn State LB Micah Parsons

It’s once again time to check the national temperature for the Detroit Lions and their options at Pick 7 in April’s draft. Micah Parsons has been somewhat in the mix since the get-go at Pick 7, but the Penn State linebacker’s name has been attached more frequently in recent weeks. Parsons is impressive against the run, while his scary athleticism has made him a handful to handle in pass protection. Parsons opted out of the 2020 season due to “the potential risk to the health and well-being” of his son. Detroit receives Pick 19, Pick 82 and a 2022 first-rounder in this mock scenario that sends quarterback Trey Lance to Washington.

That’s why I made this investment into our staff of guys that we kept or added. I don’t know what the Lions will do with either player, and Detroit would be worse off without them. Considering the Lions don’t have any linebackers who can rush well or cover well, he checks a few boxes.

Viewing the loss of the 2020 schedule in a vacuum, however, is never the perspective that Fleck and his staff and players would take.

The pandemic already cost the Gophers one star player, with NFL-bound wide receiver Rashod Bateman opting out for health reasons. The original 2020 slate had plenty of advantages for the Gophers, with no Ohio State or Penn State on the schedule and no road games until October. Now were going to do it our way, Fleck said, adding: There will be another season.
