UNEXPECTED REPORT: Detroit lions Loss 3players in…

DETROIT – It’s the most wonderful time of the year for football fans, as the 2023 NFL Draft is finally upon us.

Every team and every fanbase think they are only a few players away from reaching the Super Bowl or at least the playoffs, but no team is coming into the draft with more hype and expectations than the Detroit Lions, who many believe are on the doorstep of relevancy which is something that hasn’t been said around the football program since the 1990s.

The Lions were just one defensive stop away in most of their shootouts from making the playoffs in 2022. They are coming off a 9-8 season, but one pride expects more out of this team ahead of the 2023 season as their prolific offense lit up scoreboards.

The Lions have four of the top 55 picks in this year’s draft, with many wanting them to select a high-profile player on the defensive side of the ball. As the old saying goes, offense puts butts in the seats, but defense wins championships.

Their first pick at No. 6 in the first round should be catered toward that side of the ball, preferably a pass rusher or a defensive tackle that can bolster the middle of the defense.

There are expectations of draft day shenanigans to occur Thursday (April 27). Depending on how the dominos fall, all signs point to two candidates, either linebacker Tyree Wilson out of Texas Tech or Georgia Bulldogs defensive tackle Jalen Carter.
