I would have said Kwon Alexander, but we have no guarantee he will even be able to play this year.
rarely is he healthy - talented as can be - unavailability is the biggest issue

I am starting to think this might be a good idea. I think this would not only sure up the front seven it would help the younger LBs too.
I am starting to think there is hope for Tavai though. I saw a picture of him and he looked to be in much better shape this year. Maybe being thinner he will not be as slow any more. Also having a decent LB group will help the secondary be less of a liability.
as much as I like the idea of KJ Wright coming aboard, I'm pretty much aligned with letting the LB group playing it's way through the season with Collins, Anzalone, JRM, Barnes and the 2021 UDFA Beckett. - whoever else I missed Hamilton, Pittman etc
We're not going to the playoffs and if it truly takes 5-6M just to get Wright in the door then I'll pass - if an injury occurs to Collins or Anzalone you try to make that signing.
It'll all be answered on the field but.....
Notes: NFL.com writer encourages fans to jump aboard Lions bandwagon
This NFL.com writer is all-in on Dan Campbell, are you?www.prideofdetroit.com
NFL.com’s Adam Sheln offered nine NFL bandwagons fans should consider hopping on in 2021.
But coming in very last, at number nine, is the still unproven Dan Campbell himself. Though he’s making headlines here and there, he still has yet to coach the Detroit Lions in an NFL game.
“This is a future play. But I’m in. I love Campbell’s toughness and general approach. It’s contagious,” Sheln writes, echoing a very popular sentiment about the new coach.
Sheln compliments Campbell’s help in picking a strong coaching staff featuring Anthony Lynn, Duce Staley, and Aaron Glenn. The writer was particularly smitten by Campbell and Brand Holmes’ infamous reaction after getting their guy in the draft — Penei Sewell.
“Campbell and Holmes are culture-changers — and Sewell’s a culture-changing player,” he writes.

I would do 2 years and go from there. He is still a top LB and some of our bottom guys would not even be backups on XFL teams.
If skinny Tavai works out then it might not even be necessary. I am just not sure Barnes will be more than a solid backup.If we were in year 2 with this rebuild and Goff plus the entire defensive unit came to life then I could understand making that move.
We have all seen the videos of the Detroit Lions on the first night of the NFL draft, overjoyed when tackle Penei Sewell fell to them with their first selection. But the addition of the Oregon tackle might not mask the questions around the rest of the roster. Specifically, how good can Jared Goff be in Detroit, and who will he be targeting in the passing game?
Goff may ultimately be a better quarterback than he showed during some of his time in Los Angeles with the Rams, but in a quarterback-driven league he is going to need to improve in a hurry for the Lions to turn things around. Otherwise, Detroit could be looking at the QB market next draft cycle.
Get your fainting couch, I have some shocking news......Bryant is hurt.
