Lions needs:

Defensive End: With the trade for Snacks Harrison, the defensive interior has actually stiffened up an impressive amount and is even able to generate pressure sometimes! But there's still very little in the way of pass rush, and the Lions desperately need a defensive end—especially since Ziggy Ansah is likely gone after this year.

Offensive Line: The line is bad again this year, which is incredibly disappointing. Part of the problem has been T.J. Lang, who's great when he's on the field... but has increasingly not been on the field due to injury. It's pretty likely that he'll retire or get cut by this point, so the Lions could definitely use a replacement LG, or otherwise try and pick up some depth.

Secondary: Glover Quin is evaporating into dust as we speak and Slay is the only good CB in the backfield, the Teez Tabor gamble having blown up spectacularly. The Lions passing defense is just awful right now, and while part of that is on the complete lack of a pass rush (see above), the secondary could definitely use some additional talent.

Wide Receivers: god I miss Golden Tate. While it's still hypothetically possible that the Lions try and re-sign Tate after he hits free agency (thanks for the free draft pick, iggles), I wouldn't be surprised if Quinn targets a receiver in the draft.

Tight Ends: No other team in the league gets as little out of their tight ends as Detroit, and letting Ebron go while franchising Ziggy was probably a mistake. Lions could really use some talent here.

Current draft order!



Lions have lost to both the Jets and 49ers and have yet to play the Cardinals.

There's a nonzero chance we could end up with a top three pick
