The Detroit Lions selected Missouri cornerback Ennis Rakestraw with the 61st overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. It was the Lions’ first pick on Day 2 of the draft, and also their last of the day, barring Brad Holmes trading back up into the third round. That leaves the Lions with two new corners after two picks so far in the draft.
Instant reactions on X were eager about Rakestraw’s upside, especially after he became a hot name mocked to the Lions in February:
The Lions have landed two absolute dawgs at corner so far.
