2025 draft offers plenty of CB options if Lions want to go back to the well after selecting two early a year ago
Wrapping up our film-based introduction to the 2025 draft class ahead of the scouting combine at the end of this month, we're evaluating the best cornerbacks in the class; a group top analysts project will be selected in the first three rounds.
As a reminder, the prospects will be sorted into three categories — top of the board, first-round talent and Day 2 options — and listed alphabetically within the tiers.
Top of the board suggests the player is projected to be selected in the top half of the first round. The Lions are scheduled to pick No. 28. The remaining first-round options aren't necessarily expected to be available at that spot, but they could fall within a range where the Lions could reasonably trade up to snag a specific target.
I'll include some summarizing thoughts about this group of prospects and how they relate to Detroit's roster needs at the end of this post, after the individual scouting reports.
