Regardless of what happens with Ndamukong Suh, Detroit Lions still plan to draft best player available
Justin Rogers — MLive.com

"But if there was ever a season where need could potentially trump the BPA philosophy, this would seemingly be it. The Lions currently have just one defensive tackle under contract — 2014 fifth-round pick Caraun Reid, who averaged fewer than 10 snaps per game as a rookie.Regardless of how free agency shakes out — whether Detroit is able to re-sign All-Pro Ndamukong Suh or ultra-talented, but oft-injured starter Nick Fairley — Mayhew has no intention of grabbing an inferior defensive tackle in the early rounds of the draft just to satisfy a roster hole."

    Tahir Whitehead delivers clutch 2014 performance
    Tim Twentyman — DetroitLions.com

    "The Detroit Lions received clutch performances from a lot of different players on the way to 11 wins and a playoff appearance in 2014.The most clutch of them all, however, just might have been from third-year linebacker Tahir Whitehead.He began the season as the starting SAM linebacker after spending his first two seasons in the league as primarily a special teamer, but when Stephen Tulloch tore his ACL in the Lions’ third game of the season vs. Green Bay, Whitehead was moved to the MIKE, a position he’d never played in his entire football career at any level."
