Chuck Cook-USA TODAY SportsLions fans learned the hard way last season how valuable it is to have good receivers. A Week 15 matchup at Buffalo saw quarterback Matthew Stafford heaving the ball to a blanketed Kenny Golladay in a fashion that resembled the old Stafford-to-Megatron days—only this time, it was happening seemingly every other play as no other receivers were open. With Golden Tate’s departure leaving a crippled slot receiver position and Marvin Jones Jr. out for the season’s remainder due to injury, the Lions truly pushed the boundaries of how much they can burden one receiver late in 2018. It begs the question this year: if the same situation were to play out, who’s to step up?Next Man Up: Travis FulghamThe typical default personnel for an offense features two outside wide receivers, and thus we turn our eyes to the third outside receiver this time. Marvin Jones Jr. and Kenny Golladay have both shown their ability to make highlight-reel catches and drag defenders through the mud, but it begs the question of who comes next?There wasn’t a clear-cut answer for that last season when Matthew Stafford was being thrown around like a ragdoll in the pocket and Kenny Golladay was fighting off double teams. The Lions made sure to address that by drafting Fulgham and bringing in a host of big-bodied receivers as UDFAs as they look towards training camp. Grade: B+I’d love to give this grade a “TBD”, but that would be no fun. The reality of the situation however is that this depth relies a lot on the development of Travis Fulgham or another rookie outside receiver who may step up during training camp. I err on the good side of this grade as WR2 is technically depth (as Lions fans learned when Marvin Jones Jr. went down) Womens Barry Sanders Jersey , and Bob Quinn has put the team in a very good position with Kenny Golladay as their No. 2 receiver behind Jones Jr. The argument can even be made that Golladay is WR1 and Jones is WR2, but, either way, the Lions are in no trouble there. You could also say that the Lions need a more proven outside receiver on the depth chart after Kenny Golladay turned to a one-man show on offense late last season, but I firmly believe a lot of the problems came from the lack of a competent underneath/slot receiver rather than another big man out wide. Bob Quinn did the smart thing in addressing the lack of depth with some low-risk draft capital, and it will be interesting to see how Fulgham’s development plays out in the coming months. Do the Lions now have too many pressing needs elsewhere to prioritize a cornerback in the draft?"The Detroit Lions entered free agency with cornerback as one of their top needs. After releasing Nevin Lawson right before the tampering period, it was arguably their biggest need. With Darius Slay being the only realistic option to start at Detroit’s three starting cornerback roles Womens Levine Toilolo Jersey , the Lions had some serious work to do over the past two weeks.But general manager Bob Quinn got his hands dirty and immediately landed one of the best cornerbacks available, inking nickel cornerbacks Justin Coleman to a massive three-year deal. As many began to speculate whether Detroit would move Coleman to an outside corner position—the one he played when with New England briefly—the Lions landed another cornerback on Friday night. Rashaan Melvin is the latest addition to the secondary, and with 26 games started in the past three seasons, Detroit has an experienced option opposite Slay that could very realistically be Detroit’s starter in 2019.So now that Detroit potentially has their three starters, what does that mean for their NFL Draft strategy? Today’s Question of the Day is:Should the Lions still draft a cornerback early (first three rounds)? My answer: Per usual, I’m going to cheat here, because I don’t think this is a simple yes or no answer.What the Lions did in free agency is made it so they don’t have to prioritize cornerback in the draft. They don’t have to weigh their draft board towards grabbing a corner Eli Harold Jersey , because it is no a drastic need. In other words, the Lions are now one step closer to making their draft board Best Player Available, which is ideally where you want to be when you’re on the clock. There are still some big holes on this roster: tight end, right guard and backup running back, among others. However, you’re not just drafting for this year, you need to think ahead. And with Melvin only on a one-year deal T.J. Jones Jersey White , cornerback remains a very big need for the future.So the Lions are in a very simple position: If a cornerback they like is there when they are on the clock, they should absolutely take him. But there is no need to be aggressive and spend future draft capital to go up and get one. So my answer is yes, they should take a cornerback early, but only if one they really like is there (preferably in the second round). Your turn.
