We know they need another LB but they also need

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

A true weapon that is not a bust. Golladay could develop into a top 2 WR, but they need another good WR or legit non Ebron TE in next year's draft. The entire corps is nothing but Golden Tate and a bunch of trash or youth.

White Thunder

Whitehead is ok as a 3rd LB. Davis being out and Worrilow getting hurt made him the top LB again though and we already knew he was not qualified.

I agree there is a massive need for some depth, or ideally a new two that pushed Worrilow and Whitehead down the list, but the overall core is not as bad as it seems. It was just our thinnest position and it is the one getting hit with injuries.

RB is this teams #1 priority. If the Lions are not going to run block well then they need a talented & tough runner to go with AA.

They can keep getting by with a bunch of #1.5 and #2 receivers.

I think Reeves-Maybin is going to be a playmaker once he gets more reps. Learning pass defense as a rookie LB will take lots of time. Davis is also stuggling with coverage but he is a tackling machine assigned to get the ball carrier first and foremost.

IMO you can never have too many talented LBs on the roster. Versatile LBs will cover up a lot of mistakes and holes elsewhere on the field.
