Chris Harris, Broncos

The Pro Bowl veteran is a perfect fit in Detroit. Harris has been one of the top slot cornerbacks in the NFL for the past several seasons with the Broncos.

Those Broncos roots tie Harris to Cory Undlin, and it was during Undlin’s tenure as Denver’s DB coach (2013-2014) when Harris really took off. His age — Harris turns 31 in June — renders him a short-term option, but the Lions could definitely benefit from a 1-or-2-year deal. He won’t be cheap and there is some risk with Harris, like Detroit’s incumbent Darius Slay, coming off a down season relative to his overall career.

One big feather in Harris’ cap for the Lions: he’s an outstanding run defender. Pair that with his playmaking ability in the slot and familiarity with the coaching and he’s a prime target…if the price is right. Overpaying for CBs on the wrong side of 30 must be avoided.
