14. Detroit Lions (B)
They’ve now tripled down an 27th-ranked pass defense, drafting CBs Terrion Arnold (Round 1) and Ennis Rakestraw (Round 2) – they join trade arrival Carlton Davis III – as this team continues to load up for the ever-elusive Super Bowl run. Alabama’s charismatic Arnold, in particular, should be a great culture fit and beloved figure in Motown based on his reception from the locals Thursday night.

The Lions now have quality AND depth at CB. It's been a very long time since this has been the case.

Leger Douzable
Detroit Lions A- The Lions got significantly better in the secondary with Terrion Arnold and Ennis Rakestraw Jr.. I also love the picks of Sione Vaki and Mekhi WIngo as developmental players.

.....

The Lions selection of LSU DT Mekhi Wingo with Pick # 189, in Round 6, was a very good to great value pick by the Lions, even factoring in the opportunity cost of trading up for Wingo.
