The Detroit Lions are beyond hope when it comes to the 2020 NFL playoff race. They may only be two games behind mathematically, but with the schedule and overall talent of this team, it is beyond a pipe dream. Even a morale boost from a head coach firing won’t be enough to give this team beyond a fraction of a percentage chance at making the postseason.
So it’s time to look at draft order, and the outlook there is much more promising for this franchise. After losing four of their last five games, the Lions are now holding a top-10 pick again.
