We continue our coverage of the 2023 NFL Draft Prospect classes as we look at the Defensive Tackles!  This year's class has great depth and absolute top 5 pick potential.  The Detroit Lions are certainly looking to make a solid unit great to match their talented Offensive Line because you win in the trenches.  Will the Lions take a DT at 6, or 18?  We'll talk about it next!

We continue our coverage of the 2023 NFL Draft Prospect classes as we look at the Wide Receivers!  This year's class is not as star studded as the previous two seasons, but there is still plenty of talent in the group.  The Detroit Lions are likely not in the market now for a Receiver, but we will discuss if this group will impact the Lions on draft weekend! 

We continue our coverage of the 2023 NFL Draft Prospect classes as we look at the Linebackers!  This is a prospect class that has depth, but if the Detroit Lions are considering one of these prospects they may have to look at Day 2, or Day 1 for a solution.  We'll give our analysis next!
