Linebacker
IF DeAndre Levy is 100% and returns to his 2014 form, I would be much less worried about the Lions linebackers. Unfortunately, I believe that Levy is all but done, which forces the Lions to add a playmaker at the LB position.

ZERO!!!
That is the combined number of sacks, interceptions, and forced fumbles the Lions linebackers had in 2016 as a unit. If they want to be able to compete defensively, they have to get big plays from the linebackers unit and that is not going to come from players like Levy, Tahir Whitehead, and Josh Bynes. Don’t be surprised at all if the Lions go with a linebacker early in the draft.
