Analyst Sounds Off on 3 Priorities Lions Missed This Offseason

The Detroit Lions still have a few offseason boxes to check, per Brent Sobleski of Bleacher Report. The three priorities are stabilizing the offensive line, extending Jahmyr Gibbs, and adding a veteran safety. The offensive line is in flux, with Sewell at left tackle, Cade Mays at center, and Blake Miller competing at right tackle against Larry Borom, while guards Tate Ratledge and Christian Mahogany are locked in. The exact lineup remains unsettled, but coach Dan Campbell has emphasized depth and competition as the team heads into training camp. Gibbs' extension timing matters, as Bijan Robinson’s deal could influence the market; the Lions may need to top it to land Gibbs. At safety, Branch and Joseph are expected to miss time, but Detroit has signed Christian Izien and Chuck Clark and expects Avonte Maddox back; rehabbing players could compete in camp.
