6. Inexperience at Corner
Darius Slay is a stud. Everyone knows that. But after Slay, the Lions’ corner group is young and largely unproven. Quandre Diggs and Nevin Lawson performed admirably in 2015, filling in for injured starters, but in 2016, they’ll be handed starting jobs to run with. If either underperforms, or god forbid, they both stink up the place, their replacements will be Alex Carter (who hasn’t played in a single game) and either Darrin Walls, Crezdon Butler or Johnson Bademosi.
That’s a bunch of guys with no track record, or a proven bad one, backing up two guys with really short resumes. That’s…not ideal.
