Another 3rd Round BPA
4th Round Best Availble Tackle

not bad, redding over edwards at end. butler at right tackle is a bit scary imo.

overall, only 3 changes to the starting lineup:
kennedy at safety
bass at left guard
miller at te

you have addressed three of the lions biggest needs at s, lg and te. if this happens, the lions probably have the least changes in the starting lineups of any team in the nfl.

Just looking at it yesterday... we return our entire starting defense from last year... with Boss Bailey coming back.

I think James Davis will find a way to play in this defense. He is a big hitter with speed. Both him and Lewis are more aggressive players then Lehman. Lehman needs to have a good offseason because the competition between these 3 guys is tough plus Bailey coming back (hopefully).
Agree that Butler at RT might be too early of a move and really scary if they had a rookie also starting on the O-line and another at TE. One of those line spots should be a FA. I like Chris Gray from SEA to hold us over until any new draft picks can pull their weight. Another decent FA TE could be Chad Lewis from Philly, knows the system and all.

I am with you on Lehman...he could be good but he is not strong enough yet IMO. He needs to get a big more power and agreesion.
