Matthew O’Haren-USA TODAY SportsFor the past four months, most of the conversation surrounding the Detroit Lions’ draft has been focused on the eighth overall pick. Ed Oliver, T.J. Hockenson, Brian Burns, Montez Sweat. All of these prospects and much more have been discussed as a possibility when the Lions are first on the clock.But what if the Lions do what general manager Bob Quinn has been telegraphing for the past few weeks? What if the Lions trade down in the first round to somewhere in the middle of the draft? There will be a completely different set of players available in the 13-17 area, but we haven’t talked much about those players. So today’s Question of the Day is:If the Lions trade back to the middle of the first round, who should they target?My answer: There are a few positions that come into play that some consider too high at number eight. The Lions could take a cornerback—be it Amani Oruwariye Matt Prater Jersey White , Byron Murphy or Greedy Williams—that would make sense here. It would also be a lot more palatable if the Lions went offensive line or tight end around the 15th pick or so.But don’t count out another prospect on the defensive line. Clemson defensive tackle Christian Wilkins would be in play, or perhaps a guy like Rashan Gary or even Brian Burns falls that far.Ultimately, I think I’d be looking for a top cornerback. No. 2 cornerback is a top need for this team, and I think middle of the first round is pretty good value for whoever the Lions’ top cornerback is in this year’s draft. While it’s true there’s a decent amount of depth at that position, why not go out and get the top corner on your board? Your turn.Tweets from https://twitter.com/Prid...oit/lists/lions-coverage The Lions’ don’t have a ton of pressing needs, but two stand out."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections Detroit Lions NewsDetroit Lions NotesDetroit Lions AnalysisDetroit Lions TransactionsDetroit Lions Game RecapsNFL DraftDetroit Lions AnalysisNFL Draft team needs: Detroit Lions entering draft with 2 primary holesNew,65commentsThe Lions’ don’t have a ton of pressing needs, but two stand out. EDTShareTweetShareShareNFL Draft team needs: Detroit Lions entering draft with 2 primary holesMark Konezny-USA TODAY SportsIt’s clear the Detroit Lions’ goal in free agency was to address as many needs as possible, while also picking up some impact players. Entering free agency Detroit needed a cornerback Trey Flowers Jersey White , guard, defensive end, tight end, and running back. They went out and got players capable of starting at every single one of those positions. So where do the Lions stand now? That’s the question we posed to our FanPulse audience last week. What is the Detroit Lions’ biggest need headed into the 2019 NFL Draft? It’s clear most of you have it down to two primary needs:Let’s dig a little deeper into these needs.Offensive guardIt’s no surprise that Lions fans listed guard as one of the tops needs in the draft. T.J. Lang’s release and retirement leaves a gaping hole on the roster. We saw what Kenny Wiggins was—and more importantly wasn’t—capable of in replacement.Detroit did add Oday Aboushi in free agency, and there’s a good chance the Lions’ coaching staff is higher on him than fans are. He has familiarity with new offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell, having started eight games with the Seahawks in 2017. That being said, it’s clear they also know their limitations with Aboushi. He was given just a one-year $1.25 million contract, meaning that guard is still a long-term need, even if Aboushi works out in 2019.CornerbackThe Lions have sought a capable player to sit opposite Darius Slay for some time http://www.lionslockerroom.com/authentic-levine-toilolo-jersey , and this year they finally moved on from Nevin Lawson. Though they went out and signed Justin Coleman, it’s clear they view him as a nickel corner. Much like the Aboushi signing, the Lions also added Rashaan Melvin on a cheap, one-year deal. There’s some hope his promising 2017 PFF marks make him a viable option to start in 2019, but his Raiders film from last year is deeply concerning. Maybe with a better supporting cast (see: pass rush), he can return to form, but, again, the Lions are hedging their bets with a short-term deal.Wide receiverThough not many fans consider it a top need Womens Ricky Wagner Jersey , Detroit could very well find themselves in a market for a receiver early in this draft. Danny Amendola is a nice slot receiver bandage for 2019, but unless the Lions are tying their wagon to hopes that Brandon Powell burgeons into an NFL starter. Additionally, outside receiver is still potentially an option for this team. Marvin Jones Jr. has been speculated as potential trade bait, seeing as he’s pushing 30 years old and only has two years remaining on his contract. Jones has been solid, but not spectacular in his three years in Detroit, and the Lions could certainly use another outside playmaker. OtherNearly a third of Lions fans felt a position not listed is the team’s biggest need. While I can’t exactly pull which positions they feel are biggest, here are a few candidates that round out Detroit’s top needs.Tight end - The Lions added Jesse James in free agency, who is definitely capable of starting. However, Detroit’s depth behind James is virtually nonexistent. EDGE - With Trey Flowers added and Romeo Okwara re-signed Womens Dwayne Washington Jersey , it’s hard to call edge the team’s top need. But with Devon Kennard’s mediocre 2018 season and with the NFL’s insatiable desire for more pass rushers, the team would certainly benefit from another defensive playmaker on the edge. Off-ball linebacker - Jarrad Davis has struggled in his two years, but his spot is still likely safe for another year or two. Every other linebacker, however, could be gone by the end of 2019. Christian Jones is signed on for just one more year. Jalen Reeves-Maybin has two more years on his rookie deal, but he has yet to make an impact. The rest of the Lions’ linebacking corps is simply depth or special teams fodder.
