They missed out on Russell Okung in free agency. They didn't make any real effort to sign Kelvin Beachum. Cordy Glenn got the franchise tag before he became available. And on Saturday, the Denver Broncos traded the last best left tackle option, Ryan Clady, to the New York Jets for an exchange of draft picks?
So where do the Detroit Lions go at left tackle now? In all likelihood, back to the same well they've been drinking from the last three seasons.
Despite some effort to move Reiff to his more natural right tackle position for the final year of his contract — they did pursue Okung, after all — the Lions will enter off-season workouts next week with their 2012 first-round pick as their starting left tackle.
