6 Detroit Lions takes before cuts: Feeling good about WRs, expect fewer waiver claims

Some final thoughts before the Detroit Lions start the process of trimming their roster to 53 players before Saturday's 4 p.m. deadline:

• I know some people were surprised to see me put six receivers on my Lions' initial 53-man roster prediction, but coaches seem to genuinely like the depth they have at the position, with Jamal Agnew, Marvin Hall and rookie Quintez Cephus all flashing at times playing behind Kenny Golladay, Marvin Jones and Danny Amendola.

"I think there’s a good nucleus of guys, particularly the guys you mentioned with Marvin Hall, with Agnew, with Vic Bolden," offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell said.
