Why the Detroit Lions offense might still struggle after adding new weapons to their arsenal.

The Detroit Lions placed an emphasis on their offense during the NFL Draft by selecting five offensive players in their first seven selections, including two running backs and a wide receiver.

Adding running back D’Andre Swift at the start of the second round was almost a luxury pick with running backs Kerryon Johnson and Bo Scarbrough on the roster.
