Given Strange, Washington and Bigsby showing growth and improvement, probably not cutting/trading ETN or Engram this off season, I figured a base 12 personnel may work best for this team going forward. Basically using Engram as better blocking slot WR.

The team has the skill players. I really don't think the Lions' skill players are that much better as a whole than the Jaguars with a healthy Trevor. The difference is their O-line is elite and a big reason why they're 13-2.  

The draft, no matter who's running it, should be all O-line and BAP on defense.

The Lions have an identity. That's what drives them. They want to be physical, they like to run the football, they have a nice 1-2 punch and they have Ben Johnson.

Ben is creative. You go back to last year and look at some of the play designs and concepts and ideas he comes up with. They had a wild TE play design last year that got them a big win over somebody. 

They had a funny play design yesterday where they had Goff deliberately fake a fumble that led to a TD. Ben even dared to ask Goff to really sell it by putting the ball on the ground somehow and to scoop it up quickly. 

He also had a philly special play to Goff at some point.
