Detroit Lions use second-round pick No. 61 overall for Ennis Rakestraw Jr CB from Missouri

With Terrion Arnold from Round 1, it has been a good draft so far for the Lions.

Another Holmes pick with a torn ACL however, is par for the course lol

NFL DRAFT PROFILE per NFL.com

Strengths​

  • Highly competitive with quality toughness at the position.
  • Rough ride for receivers when he’s jamming them from press.
  • Excellent body control allows him to stay in phase against comeback routes.
  • Drives hard to the throw from off coverages and runs through targets.
  • Uses well-timed punches and slaps to disrupt the catch try.
  • Salty in run support with willingness to wrap and lift ball-carriers.

Weaknesses​

  • Handsy play that will be flagged in the NFL.
  • Won’t often get head turned to find the football on deep throws.
  • Displayed some confusion from zone coverages in 2022.
  • Recovery speed comes into question at times.
  • Tore his ACL in 2021 and missed multiple games in 2023 due to groin injury.
