The first wave of free agency is over, and nearly all the top talents have found new homes. With the exception of a couple of big names you already know, like Ndamukong Suh and Johnathan Hankins, the players available to the Detroit Lions are mostly lesser-known names, or boom-or-bust talents.

But that doesn’t mean there aren’t players who might be able to make an impact on the Detroit Lions’ roster for 2018 (and maybe beyond).

Dominique Easley

You haven’t heard the name of New England Patriots’ 2014 first-round pick in a while. That’s because after having a breakout 2016 as part of the Rams’ stacked defensive line, Easley ruptured his ACL just before the start of the 2017.

Talent’s never been the problem for Easley, whom the Patriots gave up on after two promising-but-injury-riddled seasons amid questions about his attitude.

Lions general manager Bob Quinn and defensive coordinator Matt Patricia would have been heavily involved in the decisions to both draft and release Easley. With reports that his recovery is going well, maybe his injury-free 2016 season will convince them to give him another shot.

Jack Mewhort

Another player who flashes ability but lacks availability, Mewhort’s injury history isn’t as extensive as Easley’s. But while Easley played at a very high level nearly every time he’s stepped on the field, Mewhort’s been more up-and-down.

A 2014 second-round pick, Mewhort started his career off strong. But his 2016 and 2017 seasons both ended in knee injuries, and last season’s film didn’t always look good even before he went back on the shelf.

But if Kenny Wiggins is a 30-year-old stopgap, Mewhort will only be 26 when the season starts—and unlike Wiggins, Mewhort’s shown the ability to be a difference-making player:

Cameron Fleming

Another former Patriots player, Fleming just started for New England in the Super Bowl. A 2014 fourth-round pick, he’s been a spot starter and swing backup for his entire career. But the 6-5, 323-pound tackle has piled up 20 career starts in that role.

While tackle isn’t a burning need for Detroit, 2017 was a rolling disaster. Left tackle Taylor Decker going down with an injury in OTAs triggered a panicked trade for Greg Robinson, a host of street free agents brought in and plenty of position-switching elsewhere on the line.

Though Detroit has always liked reserve Corey Robinson, he wasn’t healthy for much of 2017 and he’s hardly been a rock. If the Lions are at all concerned about their tackle depth (and they probably should be), Fleming seems like a natural fit.

Bennie Logan

Two 2017 free-agent defensive tackles bet on themselves and took one-year deals rather than sign multi-year contracts that were worth less than they’d hoped for.

One was Dontari Poe, who got a better deal this year. The other is Logan, who probably won’t be getting a better deal—or even as good of one—as the reported $9 million-plus-per-year extension offered by the Philadelphia Eagles.

35 solo tackles and 1.5 sacks are pretty good for a bigger defensive tackle often asked to two-gap in a 3-4 scheme, but his 68 overall PFF grade reflects that he wasn’t as effective down-to-down as the Kansas City Chiefs likely hoped.

But at this point, Logan would be an instant upgrade for a Lions defensive line that has no starting-caliber player who can do what Logan does.
