2022 NFL free agency preview: 5 cornerbacks the Detroit Lions should consider

The Detroit Lions are in cornerback purgatory, so to speak. It’s not really a pressing need right now, but it could be in a hurry. They likely feel pretty good about last year’s third-round pick Ifeatu Melifonwu, but it’s unclear whether he’ll be ready for a starting role in 2022. Beyond that, it’s even harder to judge.

Amani Oruwariye is coming off his best season yet, but he’s entering a contract year. Jeff Okudah appears like he’ll be ready to play by training camp, but who knows what we’ll see out of the third-year corner following an Achilles injury?
