FWith the NFL’s “tampering period” just a week away, for the next few days we’ll be previewing free agency by taking a look at the best players the Detroit Lions should consider at each position of need.
The Lions have some holes to fill this year. Luckily they’re a team with money and there are plenty of options out there.
Over the next few days, I’m going to go over each position that the Lions need to fill the most and share four free agents they should consider signing.
Let’s start it off with the guy that is going to be at the top of everyone’s radar.
The former third-round pick has been a revelation for the Buccaneers since his rookie year in 2019.
Dean has graded out in the elite category all four years of his career per Pro Football Focus.
In 2022, he graded out at his career highest with a 77.9. That’s good for 11th in the NFL.
Dean brings more to his game than just good coverage. He is an elite run stopper.
He had the fourth highest run defense grade among corners in 2022. The Lions value those skills highly.
