Team Needs
  • OT: Jeff Backus has been steady at best for the past eight years and the Lions have an opportunity to get an elite talent at the line's most important position.
  • QB: Daunte Culpepper and Drew Stanton are not real solutions to the Lions problem.
  • DL: The trade of Cory Redding to Seattle left a void inside that needs to be filled.
