The 2023 NFL Draft is only a few days away. The Detroit Lions are scheduled to pick twice in the first round, sixth and eighteenth overall. There is no clear consensus on what the Lions might do, but a few top options are emerging. Of course, Brad Holmes and Co. are hard to predict. They could have something up their sleeves. Nonetheless, I asked the members of our Woodward Sports staff for their predictions and who they would like the Detroit Lions to draft with both of their first round selections.
