The Detroit Lions have selected Tennessee quarterback Hendon Hooker with the 68th overall pick. It was the Lions’ fifth pick of the draft so far, and the last of the Lions’ Day 2 picks at the time of the selection.
My grade: A-
This is a really complex situation. Picking a quarterback 68th overall is a huge question mark when it comes to expectations. Hendon Hooker is not going to unseat Jared Goff anytime soon, nor will he see the field anytime soon while he recovers from an ACL tear. On the other hand, you have a very solid backup quarterback for a minimum of four years.
