Lions mailbag: Biggest needs, biggest breakouts for '18

The Detroit Lions have their coach and suddenly I have little to do. With the scouting combine on deck, followed by free agency, it feels like a good time to knock out a mailbag. On to your questions.

Biggest needs this offseason, from the draft to free agency, possible targets? Trades? Etc

The Lions have plenty of needs, but I'll list the top few, based on a combination of current depth and difficulty to fill.

1. Defensive end

The need would certainly be mitigated by retaining Ziggy Ansah, but the team could still stand to add an impact pass rusher.
