Florida’s Jachai Polite could add some explosion to Detroit Lions pass rush

Sometimes you have to ask yourself: Is it better to be really good at one thing, but poor in other important aspects of your duties, or would you rather be at least okay in everything without any stand-out traits?

That's the question the Detroit Lions will have to ask themselves when considering a pass rushing prospect like Florida's Jachai Polite. Polite has a reputation as a dangerous pass rusher, but the general consensus on his abilities in run defense or dropping into coverage are fairly uniform and not positive. The Lions have scouted the University of Florida probably note than any other school the past couple of seasons, so they've likely got a pretty good read on Polite's abilities.
