Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated just released his 2022 NFL Mock Draft 5.0 and if things play out as he believes they will, Detroit Lions should be very happy.
Breer starts things off with the Jacksonville Jaguars selecting EDGE Travon Walker out of Georgia and Lions fans can begin celebrating because Aidan Hutchinson is still on the board.

With the No. 2 overall pick, Breer has the Lions making the safe (and smart) pick by selecting Hutchinson.
Of course, the Lions also have the No. 32 pick in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft and Breer has the Lions making another solid pick in S Lewis Cine out of Georgia.
Nation, if the Lions come away with Aidan Hutchinson and Lewis Cine in the opening round, what would your reaction be?
