Lions have five linebackers under contract: Anzalone left to Tampa leaving a hole at WILL. Rodrigo struggled upon his return from two knee surgeries. Barnes was one of the worst players on a bad defense. He will need a position change. A player with speed and special teams ability would bolster this unit. Don't be surprised if the Lions draft multiple linebackers in this draft.
Players that could interest the Lions:
Rodriguez would be ideal. He won't be around at 50. Allen is a missile. Can run and hit. Hill is a three down backer who makes plays. Golday has Anzalone size but not known for his coverage. Perkins is really intriguing. A tweener who played edge and off the ball. Louis and York lack size. Many good special teams players are available late in the draft.
