In Pro Football Weekly’s “Way We Hear It” column, they quoted an anonymous member of the Lions personnel department as saying that their current draft preference is to add a defensive playmaker. The Lions official also stated that “We aren’t done on offense.” No specifics were imparted according to the article but PFW indicates that the Lions have looked at the offensive line as an offseason priority and are considering moving G Damien Woody from the right to the left side of the line. With all of the top draft picks that have been recently invested at the skill positions on offense, many outside the organization believe the Lions priority will be to acquire a Pass Rusher and a Safety in the draft. The team source said that the Lions would also have an interest in a top-flight Tight End.
