When you’re in year two of a multi-year rebuild like the Detroit Lions currently are, not every hole on your roster is going to be addressed right away. General manager Brad Holmes and coach Dan Campbell have done their best to quickly add young talent to their roster, and certain positions, like wide receiver, have been completely flipped in a calendar year.
Other positions, such as linebacker, have not had as many resources allocated towards them, and consequently, there is a lot that is still up in the air. Minus a few spots, this is largely the case for the defense as a whole.
