Lions hired ex-Broncos GM Brian Xanders as senior personnel executive.

According to DetroitLions.com, Xanders has been "charged with changing the way the Lions scout and grade players." The Broncos' GM from 2009-12, Xanders served in a puppet role after John Elway took over as executive vice president of football operations in 2011. Xanders was part of the Josh McDaniels flameout, but it was McDaniels who had final say over personnel.
