As I wrote on Saturday, the Lions’ defense is going to look different next year. With so many 2015 Lions entering free agency, the team is in a bit of flux. I wanted to review each position and determine which one of the following four action plans makes the most sense:

  1. Promote someone to starter from within their current roster.
  2. Re-sign a Free Agent Lion.
  3. Address the position with a new face in Free Agency.
  4. Address the position in the Draft.

So let’s get to it, starting with the defensive line.
