We usually wait until after Monday Night Football to publish this article but we decided to toss it out a bit early this week. The Detroit Lions 2023 NFL Draft picks have been updated and as you can see below, thanks to their 1-6 record to start the season, they currently hold the No. 1 overall pick in next year's NFL Draft. At the moment, the Lions also hold the No. 13 overall pick (Via Los Angeles Rams) but that will likely change to No. 14 if the Buffalo Bills change on to beat the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night Football. (The Bills lead 24-7 at halftime)
UPDATE: The Packers did lose so the Lions currently hold the No. 1 and No. 13 picks in the 2023 NFL DRaft
Where will the Detroit Lions end up picking in the 2023 NFL Draft?
