Free agent pick ups

I really didn't think this belonged in the hard knocks thread so I started a new thread. 

With preseason coming to a close, rosters getting sorted, and players getting cut... Is there a position you think needs addressing? Are there any players you feel the Lions should go after? Or do you ride with what we have?

#1 Priority - LB:  Alex Anzalone is one starter and is solid but not scaring anyone.  Malcom Rodriguez seems to be playing his way into a starting role but is a rookie (rookie-wall could really affect him) and is under-sized.  Derrick Barnes and Chris Board seem to be decent role-players at this point but haven't shown much more than that.  We could really an upgrade here, preferably someone else who can provide solid RB/TE coverage

#2 Priority - DT:  We need an insurance policy for Levi Onwuzurike and somoeone capable of reliably handling snaps that would have gone to John Penisini.  Demetrius Taylor had probably earned a roster spot but may not be ready for a big role.  Recently released DT Malcom Brown seems like a good fit.

#3 Priority - Back-Up QB:  Tim Boyle and David Blough are OK but it would be nice to see a younger more developmental QB added to the roster.  Skylar Thompson from the Dolphins would be a pretty solid addition.

Sam Ehlinger might not make the Colts roster with Ryan and Foles ahead of him. Might be someone to keep an eye on.
