Ranking the Lions’ best options with the 6th overall draft pick

We’re less than a month away from the 2023 NFL Draft now, and the forecast doesn’t seem to be getting any clearer in regards to what Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes is looking to do with the sixth overall pick. Heading into free agency, most mocks were slotting a cornerback to the Lions with the sixth pick (and sometimes the 18th pick, too), but after attacking the CB need with full force in free agency, who knows what the heck Holmes and co. are going to do on Day 1? What we do know is that the Lions are in a position to simply take the best player available rather than drafting for immediate needs.
