Many of the recent mock drafts have projected the Detroit Lions to tab a quarterback with their first pick in the 2023 NFL draft. The latest offering from Draft Wire keeps with that theme, but it’s a radically different pick and a quarterback we haven’t seen in the top 10 very often.
The latest from Draft Wire editor Luke Easterling projects the Lions to select Florida QB Anthony Richardson with the pick acquired from the Los Angeles Rams, which currently sits at No. 8 overall. Alabama’s Bryce Young projects to Houston at No. 1 and Ohio State’s C.J. Stroud falls to Carolina at No. 3, with Richardson the third QB.
