Let’s start with what we know about the Detroit Lions and the wide receiver position. It was a strength heading into 2018. It’s a weakness heading into 2019. Receiver Golden Tate was traded. Receiver Marvin Jones was injured. Receiver Kenny Golladay was blanketed while seemingly alone on the field.
Heading into 2019, a new slot receiver to replace Tate and better depth at the position must be a priority. People are quick to note quarterback Matthew Stafford‘s decline in production last season but rarely look at what happened to his top two targets, not to mention his lack of a go-to tight end.
