As long as the Detroit Lions continue down the road they are currently traveling, they will secure the No. 1 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.
Throughout the season, there have been plenty of 2022 NFL Mock Drafts and almost every single one has projected Oregon EDGE Kayvon Thibodeaux to go No. 1 overall to the Lions.
But Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh has a suggestion for whichever team gets the No. 1 pick.
From Wolverines Wire:
“I’d also have the same message for NFL scouts and teams that — if there’s a better player out there that’s draft eligible than Aidan Hutchinson, I have not seen that player. I can tell you what I have seen is every single down he plays, he doesn’t take a play off. Quite the opposite. And he’s the same way in practice. Athletically, strength, speed, he’s gonna check every single box on and off the field. I don’t know who has the first pick in the draft, but they should be studying very thoroughly Aidan Hutchinson — and they should take him.”
Nation, would you select Aidan Hutchinson No. 1 overall if you were Lions GM Brad Holmes?

NO he deserves to go to a better team that will appreciate him. The Lions will do nothing for him
How many great players have the Lions had, and haven’t won anything? I hope Aidan goes to a team that can use him and give him the chance to excel. He deserves the best.
