Front Office Football Central - View Single Post - FOFC GroupThink 2023: We take over the Detroit Lions

I agree.

My gut is that the top 5 players picked are (in no particular order):
CJ Stroud
Bryce Young
Will Anderson
Anthony Richardson
Jalen Carter

That leaves the Lions with... Tyree Wilson? He seems to be the consensus pick given the positional value of an edge rusher, but he's older, has an injury concern and doesn't have a ton of burst.

Maybe he will work out. Hutchinson really started to thrive once the Lions moved him around and primarily had him rushing on the weak side of the formation. It's possible that given Wilson's size, he'll be perfect on the strong side.

I feel like I am talking myself into it.

A trade down would be great, but as albion mentioned, what's the incentive to do so? Unless someone has fallen in love with Levis, which seems to be a long shot at this point.
