Before I get into the reason I took Kayvon Thibodeaux in the 2022 SB Nation NFL mock draft, let me first say that the Detroit Lions will have an extremely difficult decision on their hands. I think sound arguments could be made for at least three other players in this spot.
Notre Dame safety Kyle Hamilton very well could be the best, safest pick in the draft, fits a huge need for the Lions, and I believe concerns about positional value are overstated. It’s also hard not to be enthralled by the athletic traits and versatility of Georgia edge defender Travon Walker.
