46. CB ENNIS RAKESTRAW JR., MISSOURI

Rakestraw possesses a high football IQ and does great work in off-coverage when he can anticipate with space. He is a quick and controlled cornerback who will provide reliability as a run defender. His traits are worthy of a top-50 draft pick, but his lack of production might mean that he falls out of that range.

Don’t understand this pick, there are other needs like quality OL depth

Wow…talking about addressing a need
Great job in the draft and free agent signing

The one thing that bothered me most on the defense was allowing 3rd and more than 15 yard completions .
Way too much last year

Glad to see that competition will take care of that

Vildor to you is akin to Bullard to @HSVLion

Yeah, except that Vildor has actively lost the Lions games because he isn’t an NFL level talent, yet somehow was starting on our team

I don’t think it’s purely BPA. I think they’re planning for Davis’s departure in a pass happy league, kind of a “Brad is playing chess while y’all are playing checkers” move. Guy always has long term goals in mind.

Great value at 61. Watch his film against LSU wrs and you will love this pick. Injury history but a good tough physical corner.
