2022 NFL Draft: Breaking down the top 3 EDGE options for the Detroit Lions

Earlier this week, we highlighted a fantastic article from The Athletic that did a fantastic job breaking down the top three edge prospects in the 2022 NFL Draft: Michigan’s Aidan Hutchinson, Oregon’s Kayvon Thibodeaux and Georgia’s Travon Walker.

We were so impressed with the article, that we wanted more. So on Thursday night, we chatted with the author of that article—Dionte Lee—to further break down the Lions’ options with the second overall pick and some of the other edge prospects this year’s draft class has to offer.

Per Lee, not only is Thibodeaux his top prospect, but he believes his ceiling is very high, and his failure to reach that potential in college is not character related, but his own workings through identifying and playing to his own strengths.
