5 dream free agent targets for the Lions

It was 6 but the Patriots used the franchise tag on OG Joe Thuney

Jack Conklin, OT

Conklin is in line to get a major payday as the top right tackle on the free agent market. After his up-and-down play with the Tennessee Titans for the last four years, Conklin will cash in on his experience and run-blocking excellence.

A first-round pick in 2016 out of Michigan State, Conklin made All-Pro as a rookie. His play, notably in pass protection, fell off precipitously in the next two seasons before an impressive rebound year in 2019. He needs help from tight ends in pass blocking, but that’s standard practice for the Lions offense and makes the 25-year-old a nice fit.
