More Lions Draft Coverage Than You Can Handle
Look, we all know the drill by now. Draft weekend rolls around and you’re glued to every mock, every rumor, every random tweet from some guy who claims he knows a guy who knows Brad Holmes’ coffee order. And yes, I know what you’re thinking: there’s never enough Lions content to properly feed the obsession.
Well, Pride of Detroit Direct has you covered. This premium newsletter service launched just under three years ago, and it’s been quietly cranking out the kind of deep-dive Lions analysis that keeps you sane between Sundays. Or drives you completely insane, depending on how the season’s going.
The setup is simple: more content, more perspectives, and a little more editorial edge than what you get on the main site. Jeremy Reisman handles weekly columns with that extra bite, while Ty Schalter brings his own weekly takes to the table. They’ve also rolled out statistical breakdowns and film analysis from writers like Jon Ledyard and Brett Whitefield.
Draft Weekend Content Overload
With the draft hitting this weekend, Pride of Detroit Direct is loading up the content cannon. We’re talking pre-draft predictions, post-draft analysis, and exclusive podcasts breaking down every single day of the draft.
The lineup includes Jeremy’s final pre-draft predictions column and a Ty Schalter piece asking whether this is Brad Holmes’ most important draft yet. Then come the exclusive podcasts with Jeremy and Erik Schlitt dissecting Day 1, Day 2, and eventually the entire Lions draft class.
But wait, there’s more. In the weeks following the draft, they’re planning “First Byte” podcasts with beat writers from the colleges where Detroit’s picks came from. Plus there’s the monthly mailbag podcast where they answer every single question from subscribers. Every. Single. One. These episodes apparently run three to four hours, which honestly sounds about right for Lions fans who need that level of detail.
Your Inbox, Your Obsession
All this bonus content gets delivered straight to your email, because apparently we haven’t suffered enough watching this team over the years. Now we need it pumped directly into our daily routine.
The service promises much more beyond just draft coverage, which makes sense. Lions fans don’t just disappear between April and September. We’re here year-round, analyzing third-string linebacker depth charts in July and debating special teams coordinators in February.
Is this just another way to feed your Lions addiction, or is it actually the premium analysis you’ve been craving? Drop your take below.
