The Detroit Lions made a pretty significant move on Thursday, trading for 49ers linebacker Eli Harold. With just over two weeks left to solidify their roster, the move has drastically changed the landscape of the Lions’ depth chart.
While Harold is not necessarily a lock to make the final roster, considering he was a potential starter in San Francisco, it’s fair to assume he’ll immediately jump ahead of a few players and bump some defenders into the roster bubble or off the roster completely.
Let’s start with the edge, since Harold’s versatility there will likely make him an asset where the Lions may be the weakest.
