4. Kevin White, CB, TCU

At the Senior Bowl, White showed excellent ball skills and good closing speed in coverage, though he struggles with overall straight line speed and lateral quickness. He’s exactly the type of feisty, tough coverage corner Martin Mayhew tends to covet, meaning he’s someone that the Lions should certainly be keeping tabs of this week. White could be available later in the draft, and for a team that’s always needing to stock the corner cupboard, could be an excellent find.

Drills to watch: 40 yard dash, shuttle run.
