Have the Detroit Lions really upgraded their linebackers?

Detroit Lions general manager Bob Quinn rolled up his sleeves in free agency and addressed the defense heavily. A trend that is expected to continue with a couple more additions in the upcoming draft.

In a way, the NFL has turned into an oxymoron. Almost every rule they have is to promote offensive football, but defense still wins championships. For fans who want to debate that San Francisco had a better defense than the Chiefs when they met this past February in the Super Bowl, they have to understand this; on Super Sunday the Kansas City defense was better and they ending up hoisting the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
