Almost all the Detroit Lions’ needs this offseason will fall on the defensive side of the ball.

While the secondary needs help, Detroit’s front-seven defense could use some reinforcement and pass-rushing help.

Auburn edge rusher Carl Lawson is a player to watch here. His 9.5 sacks and 14 tackles for a loss would be a welcomed addition for a Lions defense needed to penetrate opposing backfields and wreak havoc on the quarterback.
