Cordy Glenn

Most people believe that the Lions will address their needs for offensive tackle through the draft. However, with so many needs, it is hard to pinpoint which direction they will go in for their first few picks.

Cordy Glenn has not missed a game since 2012. According to PFF (Pro Football Focus) Glenn was the 13th best tackle in 2013. He regressed in 2014, but finished the year at a reliable +6.5 in 2014 which ranked him 26th. He has always had much better value pass blocking than run blocking, which works well with the Lions.

Signing Glenn means that Riley Reiff would assume the position at right tackle.
