After months of leadup and anticipation, the 2023 NFL Draft has come and gone, leaving in its wake plenty of excitement, surprises, and multiple dreams made.
The Detroit Lions walked away from the three-day affair with eight new players, not including the multiple undrafted rookies signed afterward. On Day 1 of the draft, the Lions walked away with running back Jahmyr Gibbs and linebacker Jack Campbell. The Lions would add heavily on Day 2, selecting tight end Sam LaPorta and defensive back Brian Branch in the second round, as well as quarterback Hendon Hooker and defensive tackle Brodric Martin in the third.
