As the worst team in NFL history, the Detroit Lions have a lot of work that needs to be done, and it will start next week with free agency. I’m not going to begin to think that I know all that much about the needs of the Lions, because they have them everywhere! The one thing that I know is that they will be looking to pick up solid players through free agency, and they have 2 first round draft picks.
There are rumors circulating that the Lions might take a stab at Albert Hainesworth to help out on the defensive line. As well, John Kitna will most likely be released from the Lions, and with the #1 pick overall in this years draft, Matt Stafford, QB from Georgia looks like he would be the logical choice for the Lions. There are other options out there though at quarterback for the Lions. There are a lot of good, veteran quarterbacks that will hit the free agent market next week and I suppose that the Lions could address their needs through free agency, leaving their two first round draft picks available for other positional needs. We will find out soon enough what direction the Lions will take after the combine this week.
Overall, I expect the Lions to take Stafford in the draft and try to rebuild their team around him. I don’t think that the Lions will rebound as well as the Dolphins did in 2008 but they should win a few games but they will still not be very good. One thing is for certain, it can only get better for the Lions.
