For weeks and months, a defensive end has been an obvious position to mock to the Detroit Lions. With Aidan Hutchinson, Kayvon Thibodeaux, and Travon Walker entrenched as top-tier prospects in the 2022 NFL Draft, it seems likely that Detroit addresses their need with the second-overall selection.
But what if they don’t?
Should the Lions opt for another prospect at two—Kyle Hamilton, Malik Willis, among others—they will likely be the market for an EDGE sooner than later. Following the release of Trey Flowers, the Lions just have Romeo Okwara and Charles Harris as their go-to pass rushers.
