Coming off a disappointing 6-10 record, the Detroit Lions have plenty of needs going into 2019. But which positional need is the most pressing heading into free agency?
Determining the Lions’ biggest team needs and their biggest free agency needs are different. The latter is dictated by the quality of veterans available at certain positions as well as their potential cost.
For example, cornerback could be the Lions’ biggest team need. But because there is a severe lack of quality defensive backs expected to be available when the market opens next month, that position would not necessarily be considered a top free agency need.
