Lions Add Depth in Free Agency, Still Seeking Pass Rusher

0:00It's March 20th, here's your NFL news in two minutes. The Detroit Lions made several smart picks in week two of free agency, adding depth with defensive NDJ, 1M, Linebacker Demon Clark, and wide receiver Greg Dorch. These moves bring role players who fit specific needs on the roster as the team builds toward next season. 1M steps in as a solid edge setter and runstopper, filling a gap similar to what Marcus Davenport provided. Clark offers premium bench depth, and he's a guy that Lions nearly drafted back in 2022. Dorch looks like a natural four kick and pun returns, plus some gadget plays like Khalif Raymond used to do. Fans and analysts see these as value signings that strengthen the team without breaking the bank. They add competition and reliability across the defense and special teams, which could pay off in key moments. That said, the big missing piece remains a top pass rusher, and Detroit hasn't landed one yet. Things like Joey Bosa, Jedebian Clowny, and Cam Jordan are still available on the market.

1:02Overall, experts are giving week two AB minus grade, an upgrade from the C-plus in week one. With more free agency time ahead, the Lions could still chase that elite edge threat to round out the group.
