Lions News: ESPN grades Detroit’s offseason as top-10 in NFL

ESPN's Seth Walder graded every NFL team's offseason decisions, giving the Detroit Lions a B mark that tied for ninth-best in the league. The Lions made several moves this offseason: they traded running back David Montgomery to Houston for draft picks and an offensive lineman, signed backup running back Isiah Pacheco in free agency, and locked up All-Pro linebacker Jack Campbell with a four-year, $81 million extension. Walder viewed the Montgomery trade as the team's smartest move, though he found the Campbell deal slightly pricey. The Lions also lost several defensive contributors in the shuffle but added depth at cornerback and defensive end.
