The Detroit Lions have selected cornerback Chase Lucas with the 237th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. This marks the final pick of an eventful draft for the Lions, one that saw a late run on defenders. How does Chase Lucas stack up?
My grade: B
The Lions’ secondary is notably young, and adding more talent to that group was widely expected. Lucas has average size (5-foot-11, 188 pounds), but otherwise posted an elite athletic profile, a running trend for the Lions’ draft class this year. That alone makes him a worthy seventh-round pick, but the tape for Lucas is impressive too.
