It’s been no secret that the Detroit Lions’ front seven is the biggest weakness on the roster, and finally with just two weeks left until the regular season, general manager Bob Quinn is doing something about it.
The Lions are reportedly trading for San Francisco 49ers linebacker Eli Harold, per MLive. Harold is a 2015 third-round pick (interestingly picked directly before the Lions took cornerback Alex Carter) who has bounced between outside linebacker in a 3-4 system and SAM linebacker in a 4-3 look. Harold hasn’t missed a game since entering the league and has amassed 85 tackles and 5.
