Sunday open thread: Should the Lions spend big on WR in free agency?

As free agency looms, the Detroit Lions are sitting pretty with an estimated sixth-most salary cap space available in the NFL. That should give them an opportunity to make a big splash signing if they wish to do so. A couple big names floating around at a big position of need are wide receivers Allen Robinson and Christian Kirk.

The idea of signing a top receiver in free agency and allowing the team to focus on other needs is enticing, and they could still draft a WR early and make the position a strength, but is it worth it when you consider the numbers involved?
