NFL draft experts differ on predictions for Detroit Lions 2 first-round picks

Two NFL draft gurus dropped their latest 2022 projections Wednesday and one had quite the twist at No. 1.

ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. and The Athletic's Dane Brugler each mocked the first round of the 2022 draft, with Brugler predicting the second-round picks, too.

Both expect the Detroit Lions to get a pass rusher (Aidan Hutchinson or Kayvon Thibodeaux) at No. 2, but how they differ on how that defender falls to Detroit. Kiper and Brugler disagree on how the Lions spend their second pick of the first round, with one taking a star Big Ten wideout and the other going with an ACC quarterback.
