Mina Kimes praises Detroit Lions for selecting Terrion Arnold, Ennis Rakestraw in NFL Draft.
As a result, general manager Brad Holmes aggressively sought out talent at the position. At this stage of the offseason, the team has already traded for one, signed one and drafted two cornerbacks.
With the 2024 Draft in the rearview mirror, pundits have largely praised the Lions’ decision to add two top-tier cornerbacks within the class inand Ennis Rakestraw Jr. ESPN analyst Mina Kimes listed both picks among her favorite selections in the entire Draft in a recent episode of“I went back and looked at my notes for both of them, and some of the same words were appearing. Both can press, both blow up screens, both arrive downhill in a hurry, both can tackle. Tackling,” Kimes said.
"They're both Lions, they're both quintessential Lions," Yates said."The Lions are looking for a bit more dog in their corners. They want guys who are just as likely to come up and blow up a wide receiver screen at the line of scrimmage as they are to play silky smooth man coverage, and rather than getting one of those, they got two."want to be a man-to-man defensive team.
“These are two corners where I think, because of their ability to play press-man, I wouldn’t be surprised to see that dial crank back up, for him to run sort of the defense that he wants to,” Kimes explained. “I’ll be very curious to see who plays where, and how much, because they do have an excellent nickel. Brian Branch was a massive, massive success for them last year. Arnold was someone who had inside-outside versatility, you saw that in college. Rakestraw, there were questions as well.
