27. Detroit Lions

50. The Detroit Lions have survived by the skins of their teeth to this point as they lead the NFC North. Most of it has been the inspired play of quarterback Matthews Stafford who may be having the best season of his career. An incredible thought since Calvin Johnson just retired. Even so this is not a flawless team by any stretch. They have serious issues to work through on defense from front to back. <p>Looking at their cornerback positions it’s basically Darius Slay and a host of average Joes. Another quality cover man would go a long way towards making things easier for them. Adoree Jackson is one of those prospects that people can’t agree upon. Some think he belongs in the Day 2 conversation, others believes he’s too good a player to believe he falls that far. He’s an excellent return man and quality corner who isn’t easy to shake. It’s just a matter of overlooking his slightly shorter size.</p>. CB. USC. Adoree Jackson . 27. player
