A team of ESPN analysts are offering projections for each NFL team for the next three years, deciding it fares pretty average for the Lions.
ESPN experts Jeremy Fowler, Louis Riddick, Seth Walder, and Field Yates teamed up for an article on ESPN.com to rate each team’s coaching, quarterback, front office, draft, and overall roster (minus the quarterback). The results are averaged from each panelist, then each category is weighted to create the final, overall score: roster at 30 percent, quarterback at 20 percent, draft at 15 percent, front office at 15 percent and coaching at 20 percent.
