Even with Eric Ebron under contract for 2017, tight end is a position of need for the Detroit Lions this offseason.
Ebron had a nice year this past season with 61 catches for 711 yards and a touchdown in 13 games -- Not bad numbers missing three games.
But given the fact that all other Lions tight ends combined to catch six passes for 45 yards, depth is a real issue. Add in the fact that Ebron has never played a full 16-game slate because of injuries in his first three seasons, and the need is there.
