NFL Mock Draft: Deshaun Watson falling

Matthew Stafford is enjoying arguably his best season as a pro, and some believe he should be in the MVP talk. So much for him having a down year without Calvin Johnson in the lineup. The real issues for the Lions have been on the defensive side of the ball, and the team should go after a big-time cornerback in the first round in April.

Based on our draft, the best corner of those remaining would be Tre’Davious White of LSU, who some could argue could be drafted much higher in the first round. The biggest thing with White are his feet, which are the quickest in this entire draft class. He also has the kind of length that scouts drool over, and can go man-to-man with any receiver in college football.

The Lions play in a division where one or two solid additions could keep them in first place, where they currently reside. Detroit is a city that has been yearning for a title from their football team, and if Lions want to be a contender, they need to shore up their defense. White would be a great first step in fixing a secondary that has been burnt by Aaron Rodgers one to many times.
