The Detroit Lions should be the most improved team in the NFC North this fall, if for no other reason than they have a healthy quarterback again.
Matthew Stafford's back injury cost the Lions wins in 2019, but it also afforded the team an opportunity to add high-end talent to its roster that no other team in the division can match.
Both first-round pick Jeff Okudah and second-round choice D'Andre Swift should play significant roles for the Lions this fall, and both ranked among the top players at their positions in the draft.
