The Detroit Lions have gone big at the top of their two drafts under general manager Brad Holmes, prioritizing offensive and defensive linemen both years. Now their offense is powered by one of the best fronts in the league, while their defense -- the youngest in the league -- just produced more rookie sacks than anyone else since sacks became an official statistic in 1982. In my first mock draft of 2023, I have the Lions following the blueprint that has helped make their rebuild one of the hottest in the league, even if it comes at the expense of taking star Texas running back Bijan Robinson.
