Lions land EDGE Kayvon Thibodeaux in Todd McShay, Mel Kiper mini-mock draft

Now that the 2021 regular season has concluded, ESPN is bringing back their First Draft podcast. The podcast features draft analysts Todd McShay and Mel Kiper, along with host Field Yates, and the trio kicked off their first return episode by doing a mini-mock draft focusing on projecting and discussing the first five picks of the 2022 NFL Draft.

While there has been some smoke surrounding the Jacksonville Jaguars possibly skipping over an EDGE rusher with the first pick in favor of an offensive tackle, in this scenario, they kept things simple and gave them Michigan EDGE Aidan Hutchinson.
