Cornerback Could Be The Choice With First-Round Pick
In a perfect world, one of the top two or three cornerbacks on the Lions' board will be available when the 23rd pick rolls around. The Lions would be thrilled to land South Carolina's Stephon Gilmore or Alabama's Dre Kirkpatrick.

We don't know how Mayhew's interviews with Jenkins went.
