IMO, What the Lions Should do this Offseason...

Draft

1- OT Mike Adams, big LT, good feet, a bit raw
2- C Ben Jones, strong center, good run blocker
3- DE Cam Johnson, decent size, good burst, plays hard
4- RB Chris Polk, tough runner, decent quickness/speed

Free Agency

Sign WR Early Doucet- reliable hands and very cheap
Sign CB Brandon Carr- Good and young corner, Michigan roots
Resign CJ- free cap space!
Let Backus go- more cap space, throw adams into fire
Let Avril go- even more cap space, let Lojack, Willie, and Cam Johnson compete for starting LE spot, result should be a very productive starter
Release Raiola- cap space, let Ben Jones take over Let Eric Wright go- too inconsistent Resign Tulloch- really like him as our MLB

QB- Matt Stafford, Shaun Hill
