Indianapolis — The Detroit Lions don't have a glaring need for an off-the-ball linebacker. The team could go into the 2019 season with former first-round pick Jarrad Davis and reliable veteran Christian Jones as the starters and be fine.

But that doesn't mean the position can't be upgraded. And that's a decision the Lions could face if LSU's Devin White is still on the board when Detroit is on the clock at No. 8 in the NFL draft.

White met with the Lions at the scouting combine last week.
