PFF shares ideal landing spots for two Detroit Lions free agents
PFF shared ideal landing spots for Detroit Lions free agents DJ Reader and Taylor Decker.
As the lengthy NFL offseason continues, Pro Football Focus listed the ideal landing spots for the league's 10 best remaining free agents, with former Detroit Lions offensive tackle Taylor Decker and interior defensive lineman DJ Reader predicted to make head-scratching moves. According to Bradley Locker, Reader's ideal landing spot is with the Las Vegas Raiders . Reader is ranked as PFF's No.
21 free agent. Despite suggestions that the Raiders would capitalize on a Day 2 rich with defensive tackle talent, the team instead opted to grab Arizona defensive back Treydan Stukes. In turn, that leaves Las Vegas in major need of an interior defender.
Reader hasn’t matched his string of incredible production from 2021-23, but he’s still a quality option on the inside. Last year, he recorded a 72. 6 PFF pass-rush grade and a 10.
5% pass-rush win rate, the latter of which slotted 27 th among qualified players at the position. The 31-year-old Reader might prefer to sign with a team that’s closer to contention. Nevertheless, he would continue to build next to Maxx Crosby on the team’s new-look defense.
