An effective pass rush is a cornerback’s best friend. And since the Detroit Lions opted to trade away their best cornerback, three-time Pro Bowler Darius Slay earlier this month, Motown could use an extra pass rusher or two.
Sure, the Lions signed former 2015 Pro Bowl cornerback Desmond Trufant via free agency this offseason. And Detroit could certainly use the third overall selection in the upcoming NFL draft to secure the position post-Slay as well. Regardless, pass rush is still a concern in Motown.
Last offseason, the Lions signed former New England Patriots defensive end Trey Flowers to a five-year, $90 million deal.
