Mobile, Ala. — The only certainty about the NFL Draft is that there are no certainties.
And yet, if there is any foregone conclusion about the Detroit Lions' draft plans, it's that they'll draft a cornerback — maybe even two or three. The team's lack of talent at all levels of the depth chart is a glaring weakness, and something they're likely to address early and often this offseason.
There are a handful of top-flight corners to be had in the range of picks 6 and 18, where the Lions will make first-round selections. After that, the Lions could very well target one of the early risers who've emerged from this week's Senior Bowl practices with their versatility on full display, Kyu Blu Kelly (Stanford) and Tyrique Stevenson (Miami (FL)).
