The Detroit Lions have spent the last three years trying to figure out their cornerback situation. They’ve gone through players like Jeff Okudah, Quinton Dunbar, Cameron Sutton, Mike Hughes, and Emmanuel Moseley—among many others—looking for a cornerback who is capable of being a No. 1 and lockdown defender.
This offseason, they got a little more aggressive, trading a third-round pick for former Buccaneers top corner Carlton Davis and a pair of late-round picks in return. With Davis, the Lions believe they have a shutdown cornerback who will unlock the Aaron Glenn’s defensive scheme in ways their past corners were never able to.
