All three "final" mock drafts I looked at this morning and the betting odds all say that the Lions will be taking Devon Witherspoon at 6.
He fits the mold of cornerback they are looking for, especially Aaron Glenn, and among him, Jerry Jacobs, Gardner-Johnson they would perhaps lead the league in secondary trash talking.
It's not really what I would want at six, but a two of the mocks had all of the top d-line men - Anderson, Carter and Wilson - already gone by six and the other had the Lions passing on Carter, which could definitely be a thing.
At 18 the Lions could be in a prime spot to trade down and get more assets if a team gets nervous about a positional run. If the Lions do go CB at six, there really isn't a D-Line player, which I think is a big need, that really jumps out. It seems to be down to Kancey, Breese or Miles Murphy, assuming Van Ness doesn't slide.
