I just saw McShay & Kiper's most recent joint mock.
They had the Lions taking:
1(6): Tyree Wilson, DE
1(18): Calijah Kancey, DT
2(48): Jahmyr Gibbs, RB
2(55): Drew Sanders, LB
3(81): Luke Schoonmaker, TE
Not bad. At the moment, I have really come around to the idea that I want William Anderson, Jalen Carter or Tyree Wilson at Six. I won't be crushed if that's not the direction the Lions go, but I really feel like defensive line is still a big need. Anderson could be a really effective pass rusher and both Carter and Wilson could help generate some QB pressure, but really shore up the run defense.
Wilson is great against the run and Hutchinson was much more effective as a weakside edge and Wilson seems to have the size and strength to play on the strong side and complement Hutchinson well. He's not explosive, but he seems to fit what the Lions are looking for in terms of drive, motor, etc.
If the Lions brass feel Carter is good to go off-field-wise, he is the perfect fit and exactly what they need.
