The Detroit Lions are pretty well-set at cornerback for the first time in years. With Darius Slay emerging as a legitimate No. 1 cover man and youngsters Nevin Lawson and Quandre Diggs both proving capable of handling extended roles, CB is near the bottom of team needs.
Bob Quinn has said as much, and one coaching staffer told me back in January that cornerback was the deepest, most talented position group on the roster.
Bob Quinn said he thinks Lions’ strengths are at QB, DL and CB. Team needs more depth everywhere, though.

With Rashean Mathis retiring, there is an opening for a veteran corner.
