| Lions Would Consider Anthony Hargrove For Both End And Tackle | | |
If the Detroit Lions eventually pursue Anthony Hargrove, the New Orleans Saints defensive lineman who is a restricted free agent, coach Jim Schwartz plans to move Hargrove up and down the defensive line. "You know the guy he reminded me the most of - Kevin Carter,'' said Schwartz, who is in Orlando for the NFL owners meetings. "He'd probably play end on first and second down and then rush from the inside on third down. He's still young. I think at some point he could be a full-time tackle. What he is now is an end who moves down to a rush role. He's a really athletic guy. He would fit in both of those roles.'' The Lions have until April 15 to make a decision on whether to sign Hargrove (who came into Detroit last week for a visit). "We wanted to give him a physical, we wanted to meet him and start the ball rolling. We still have time on that,'' said Schwartz, adding that the addition of Hargrove wouldn't necessarily alter Detroit's plans at the top of the draft board. "We still have a lot of needs,'' Schwartz said. "At one point I'm not going to say this anymore, but our No. 1 need is talent.''
