D.J. Reed has been one of the best corners in the league lately, but Lions general manager Brad Holmes cannot rest on any laurels when it comes to trying to trade for help at the position.
SideLion Report argues that the Detroit Lions must acquire another starting-caliber cornerback prior to the trade deadline, despite D.J. Reed's recent resurgence. Reed has emerged as Pro Football Focus' top-graded cornerback from Weeks 5 to 8 after a challenging start to the season, aiding a defense that allowed 17.7 points per game over its last three contests.
However, writer Brad Berreman notes that injury concerns and depth issues persist across Detroit's secondary. Ennis Rakestraw is managing an ankle injury, and Reed suffered a hip injury against the Minnesota Vikings. The article suggests targets such as Riq Woolen, Charvarius Ward, or Sauce Gardner to reinforce the roster.
