5 Lions draft thoughts and 1 bold prediction to kick off 2022 NFL draft week

It’s NFL draft week! The week where the fortnight of endless speculation, tireless predictions and hyperbolic statements about young men trying to become professional football players finally comes to fruition.

As I drink my Monday morning coffee, trying to find the energy to deal with all the rumors, smokescreens and planted stories, I figure it’s time to offer my somewhat educated opinions on what will happen for the Detroit Lions this coming weekend. These are based on conversations I’ve had in recent days with team sources, league sources, draft media sources and my own observations. It’s my best attempt to sift through the kitty litter and throw away the stinky clumps of information that are out there about the Lions, Brad Holmes and what will happen over 2022 NFL draft weekend.

Enjoy draft week!
