The current state of the Detroit Lions’ cornerback room is in much better shape than it was last year. After adding three starters via free agency in Cameron Sutton, Emmanuel Moseley, and C.J. Gardner Johnson, the secondary is primed for some big improvements, but there is still an opportunity for general manager Brad Holmes to improve the long-term outlook at the position, and we know he’s obsessed with having contingency plans.
By the time the Lions are on the clock with the sixth overall pick—or wherever they end up with their first selection—it’s entirely possible that the best player available will be a cornerback.
