The Detroit Lions’ trade for former Buccaneers cornerback Carlton Davis is a relatively strong investment in the position for general manager Brad Holmes. Detroit had a huge need there and Holmes hasn’t been too cavalier in giving up Day 2 picks for a veteran player. And while Davis only comes on a one year deal right now, it’s entirely possible the 27-year-old cornerback stays in Detroit longer than that.
To get to know Davis better, we traded a few messages with our good friend Jon Ledyard. Ledyard has watched every snap of the Lions’ 2023 season, as helped us with the Pride of Detroit Direct newsletter.
