Id replace every single one of the names not mentioned. Quin id be on the fence about just because his age....he still has some production.
We dont even have a starter opposite Ansah Right now.
Whos our other starting DT?
Lawson...yep need an upgrade
Whitehead, nobody #1, nobody #2.....and id replace whitehead if i could....he sucked ass last year. awful
Quin and Tavon Wilson...whatever.
Crazy, typically people like yourself who know too much and are football geniuses find themselves in scouting departments or in the front office. Thanks for spending time with us low-hanging fruit and keeping us in the know.

Lions will add to the defense. They have a good defense as is. Ngata,rovinson,ansah,hyder,washington,spence,hill can be a good dline. I know we have a good secondary. They will add a young stud linebacker that can cover. Whitehead and worrilow can be solid and williams can grow in year2
13th in ppg allowed last year. And lions improved in every defensive spot
LOL...they improved in every defensive spot?
I agree that we need some fresh juice, but it's not all junk....
I think Bryant could be that opposite guy of Ansah and I still like Zettel to steal snaps somehow. Even though he plays on the same side of Ansah, I'm sure he can play the other DE spot.
Hayden could possibly be that upgrade over Lawson. We still need another corner there though. so agreed...
Whitehead isn't really an issue. He's a solid tackler. He won't wow you or anything but he's always around the football. I like the additions of Warrilow too and Williams is young who could produce.
Killebrew could steal that Safety spot from Wilson easy.
I feel your pain though lol. We need upgrades big time on D. I still want LB or DE on that first pick. Wouldn't even be mad at CB at 21. Lots of work to do!!!
Dt robinson year 2, spence and hill, ngata healthier
Id be happy with DE, LB or CB in rd 1....but:
DE could provide the best value if Barnett drops to us
LB i think once Foster, Reddick or Davis are gone then you wait until a different round. Theres so many LBs rising late that a guy like Cunningham could potentially be there in rd 2.
CB. Id probably want after Reddick, or Barnett.....but there atleast 5 projected 1st round picks and theres certain things that can happen which means a top 3 cb may drop to us at 21 and we'd be getting a very good starter opposite Slay at that point.
Rd 2 - DT i think would be my focus in rd 2. Theres a group of pass rushing DTs like brantley, mcdowell and wormley that are all very similar and one of them could fall to us in rd 2. If they are gone im looking for any falling LBs in Rd 2 like a Jarrad Davis or Cunningham then look DT like Jaleel Johnson in Rd 3.
Theres alot of options to help our D out this draft....i hope we go D heavy. Get the pass rusher early if hes there....if not you hope Bryant/Hyder can produce opposite Ansah.
Did someone hear a toilet flush?
