The Detroit Lions struggled on defense this past season. Which is actually an understatement. They were terrible.
Before his injury, Matthew Stafford played at a near MVP level, but due to the poor performance of the defense, the Lions were only 3-4-1 when Matthew’s season came to an end in Oakland.
The emphasis of this offseason is defense to nobody’s surprise. Lions fans are trying to figure out every possible way that Ohio State defensive end Chase Young could fall to them at the number three pick. But there aren’t that many possibilities and given what the addition of Young could do for Washington head coach Ron Rivera’s defense, it’s not likely.
