Do latest 2023 NFL Draft odds reveal who Detroit Lions will take at No. 6?

There has been quite a bit of discussion this morning about how these odds pretty much reveal who the Lions will take at No. 6, but please take them with a grain of salt. First of all, there are still nine days left before the draft, and if you have paid attention in recent years, A LOT can happen in nine days. That being said, these odds do seem to suggest a couple of things that are interesting. First, it appears as if Vegas believes the Lions are likely to take a cornerback at No. 6, and second, it seems like a long shot that Brad Holmes will select a QB at No. 6. Who would you put your money on?
