There are a number of directions the Detroit Lions can go with the No. 2 overall pick in next week’s NFL draft. And for the second time in a week, a prominent voice has suggested the Lions should look at the cornerback position with the premium pick.
Former NFL GM Mark Dominik, now a host and analyst on Sirius XM NFL Radio, joined ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. in advocating for the Lions to use the second pick on a cornerback. In his conference call with the media on Tuesday, Dominik mentioned both Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner from Cincinnati and LSU’s Derek Stingley Jr. as worthy candidates for Detroit.
“I like Gardner a lot. I like Stingley better,” Dominik told reporters. “So the best way to say this, Ahmad has probably got a better floor. Stingley has a better ceiling, so that’s the risk-reward that you have to decide what you want to take.”
