Mike Sando of The Athletic<\/a> notes the Bills traded a second-round pick to acquire WR D.J. Moore<\/a>: \u201cGood player \u2014 wish we could have gotten him.\u201d
\nDefensive priorities were addressed with safety Coby Bryant<\/a> and linebacker Devin Bush<\/a>: \u201cYou cannot bank on that stuff. They had to get better. They are banking on (corners) Jaylon Johnson<\/a> and Kyler Gordon<\/a> being healthy. Coby Bryant<\/a> is going to play in the post. Devin Bush<\/a> is the athlete that they like. They will probably either (blitz) him or match him underneath. And then I\u2019d be shocked if they do not continue to build the defensive front.\u201d
\nPass-rush concerns remain: \u201cThe pass rush has been their biggest question on defense the last few years. It hasn\u2019t really been the back end, where they\u2019ve given contracts to Jaylon Johnson<\/a> and their nickel (Gordon), drafted Tyrique Stevenson<\/a>. They need to improve the D-line, but they couldn\u2019t really do it because they are locked into guys with guaranteed money. They didn\u2019t really address their biggest defensive need.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mike Sando of The Athletic<\/a> notes Detroit\u2019s offseason changes focus on coaching: \u201cTo me, they did not do anything notable from a personnel standpoint outside of some special teams guys they added, which I think were pretty good for them.\u201d
\nExecutives highlighted internal moves on the offensive line: \u201cThe biggest questions with Detroit remain on the coaching staff. Let\u2019s see what Petzing and Kafka are able to infuse in terms of better ideas, better execution, more creative play calling or whatever.\u201d
\nLinebacker Damone Clark<\/a>\u2019s special teams contributions were noted: \u201cDamone Clark<\/a>, signed from Houston, made eight solo tackles on special teams last season, more than anyone else currently on the Lions. Exciting, right?\u201d<\/p>\n

Mike Sando of The Athletic<\/a> notes Green Bay\u2019s free-agency strategy is restrained: \u201cGreen Bay didn\u2019t do anything. They are a team that historically drafts very well. They are really not a player in free agency.\u201d
\nExecutives discussed the financial context of roster changes: \u201cThey drafted (receiver Matthew) Golden in the first round and are letting him flourish while they let Romeo Doubs<\/a> hit the market. That\u2019s them.\u201d
\nThe Packers\u2019 approach will continue with compensatory picks: \u201cIt is hard to say they did anything beyond just stay pat.\u201d<\/p>\n
