2021 Detroit Lions Draft Preview Defensive Backs


Detroit Lions Cornerback Depth chart



Long term depth is needed. Dunbar and Elder are one year guys. Okudah will try to redeem himself for an awful 2020. 

Draftable Prospects


Horn and Surtain are the alpha corners in this draft. Farley is the wild card coming off back surgery. Good size and speed prospects n the Day # 2. Early day # 3 could yield a sleeper.

Lions analysis

Lions need some long term depth. Finding a couple guys in this draft would help. With only 6 picks it is going to be tough to fill all of the holes in this roster.

Guys I Like:

Day # 2

Aaron Robinson CFU
Asante Samuel FSU (slot)
Kevin Joseph Kentucky

Day # 3

Paulson Adebo Stanford
Trey Brown Oklahoma (Slot)
Ambry Thomas Michigan
Kary Vincent LSU (Slot)

Safety

Depth Chart


A lot of young guys with little experience. Walker was awful and so was Harris. Not a true starter o this list. 

Draftable Prospects



Good year for safeties. Depth is the late Day # 2 and Day #3. Grant and Moehrig are complete players with range and tackling ability. Johnson is ball hawk. I would draft Shaun Wade as a safety. He has the size and speed. Deablo is more of a LB. He has more value early on day # 3. 

Analysis:
Lions could use a starter at safety. It probably would take a second round pick. Depth could be brought in later in the draft.

Guys I Like:

Day #2
Richie Grant CFU
Jemar Johnson Indiana

Day # 3
Tyree Gillespie Missouri
Brady Breeze Oregon
Darrick Forrest Cincinnati
Christian Uphoff Illinois State
