Doing mock drafts for the following offseason is an exercise in pure speculation. Mark Schofield of Touchdown Wire knows that and makes it clear in his too-early 2023 NFL mock draft that it’s an “inaccurate exercise at best”.
But it’s still a fun exercise to see what teams might look to add after the next season, and also to get an idea of what players might be of interest when the Detroit Lions are on the clock in 2023.
The Lions have two first-round choices once again, their own and the Los Angeles Rams’ pick. Based on current Super Bowl odds, those picks wind up at No. 3 and No. 30 overall.
