NEEDS:
EDGE Pass Rusher: Hicks is a good pass rusher from the interior and Floyd is a versatile OLB, but they need a true outside pass rusher. They could trade up for Chubb or stay put and take Tremaine Edmunds or Marcus Davenport.
Interior O-Line: They released their best offensive lineman (Josh Sitton), Whitehair took a step back in his second year and Long.
WR: Even with the addition of Robinson this group still needs more help. This years WR class is deep so they don't need to reach on one in the first
DL Upgrades: Both Goldman and Bullard have been average early in their careers.

NEEDS:
Pass Rush DE: Ansah is a beast and Zettel is improving but the Lions still need to add more to thier pass rush.
Interior O-Line: Lang and Glasgow are good, but the players they added in free agency would be backups on most teams.
Pass Catching TE: Neither Wilson nor Toilolo is known as a great pass catcher, though both are solid blocking ends
RB: Abdullah never lived up to being a second round pick and Blount is only singed for one year

Javon Wims-Big WR
NEEDS:
EDGE Pass Rusher: Hicks is a good pass rusher from the interior and Floyd is a versatile OLB, but they need a true outside pass rusher. They could trade up for Chubb or stay put and take Tremaine Edmunds or Marcus Davenport.
Interior O-Line: They released their best offensive lineman (Josh Sitton), Whitehair took a step back in his second year and Long.
WR: Even with the addition of Robinson this group still needs more help. This years WR class is deep so they don't need to reach on one in the first
DL Upgrades: Both Goldman and Bullard have been average early in their careers.
