Detroit Lions: Sign LT Kelvin Beachum

The risk involved here is that Beachum is coming off an injury, but if he can return to his 2014 form when he ranked second among offensive tackles in pass-blocking grades while playing for Pittsburgh, he could have a very positive impact on the Detroit offensive line. The Lions really need a left tackle, particularly to improve their pass protection for Matthew Stafford, and adding one would allow them to move Riley Reiff back to the right side. Additionally, if 2015 first-round guard Laken Tomlinson shows improvement in his second season, this line could look much better in 2016.

Monson?s take: Detroit has the cap space and an OT is one of their bigger needs. Beachum has shown he can be a really high level pass-protector and is probably the best fit of those available, with Cordy Glenn tagged off the market. I?m all for this move if they can make it happen.
 
As posted in a separate thread;
Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press expects the Lions to land Marvin Jones in free agency.
With Calvin Johnson likely headed for retirement, the Lions need a starter to pair with Golden Tate. Jones is the best available option in a weak class of free agent wide receivers. The 25-year-old set career-highs in catches (65), targets (103) and yards (816) this past season. Jones getting overpaid this offseason is a near certainty.
