The Detroit Lions have selected Kerby Joseph with the 97th overall pick in this year’s NFL Draft. While his name alone warrants an A+, let’s look at the pick.
My grade: A+
The Lions had a need at safety that they passed on in the first round, and they passed on in the second round. Entering the third round, things were looking shaky, but the Lions got their guy. Kerby Joseph is a very skilled defensive back who should thrive as the third safety under Aaron Glenn and Aubrey Pleasant’s direction.
