The Detroit Lions need help on both sides of the ball heading into the 2020 season. But that’s not saying much for a team that went 3-12-1 and has the third overall pick in the NFL Draft. In particular, though, they could use a boost and a true playmaker on defense.

In 2019, the Lions ranked 31st in overall defense, 26th in points allowed, 21st in rushing defense, last in the league in passing…
