The Detroit Lions are in need of a defensive tackle who can generate pass rush from the inside, and Poona Ford, a top remaining free agent, has been named as a good fit for the team.

Despite his numbers being down compared to previous seasons, Ford is considered a top-15 talent at his position and could provide value to a contending team. The Lions should consider signing him to a cheap one-year deal.
