The Lions may be at the crossroads of their season already!

Sitting at 2-1-1 and facing a divisional opponent on the road in their next game (Green Bay), the Lions appear to be at one of the pivotal points in their season. 

Win, and the newfound respect is validated. Lose, and the skepticism returns. Critics will amplify their concerns, and the bandwagon will empty. 

According to Chris Roling of Bleacher Report, the Lions are a team desperately in need of upgrading their team via trade: 

"The Detroit Lions are a quality team that needs a little more juice. 

The Lions could set themselves apart by upping the ante defensively, such as adding a top-flight talent like Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey to a strong defensive backfield with Darius Slay and Justin Coleman.

That sounds ambitious, but teams have to be in the NFC North, where two teams have three wins and two more boast a pair. The Lions have yet to face a divisional opponent, and more defensive star power for Matt Patricia's defense isn't a bad idea. Ramsey and the Lions are a good schematic fit, and the Detroit front office has plenty of draft assets to splurge (it still has all of its top-50 picks over the next two years) if it wants to make a move."
