Could outside linebacker make sense for the Lions in first round?

INDIANAPOLIS -- Every Saturday, we answer some of your questions in a weekly Lions mailbag. To ask a question for a future mailbag, email michael.rothstein@espn.com or shoot a note on Twitter with the hashtag #LionsMailbag.

Now, on to your questions.

Joshua asks via email: Most of the focus on the Lions' first-round pick has gone to defensive ends and running backs, but could an outside linebacker be in that conversation? A OLB could help with our pass rush as well as pass coverage. I think it also fits into Matt Patricia's idea of players being capable and versatile in many different areas.
