Lions will be a playoff team after next years draft.

Imagine if the Lions finish 3rd worse in the league next year but Goff plays better than expected and the losses are all very competitive.

2022 Draft

  • RD 1 #3 (Edge) "Chase Young "
  • RD1 #26 (WR1) "Rashod Bateman"
  • RD2 #35 (Safety) "Trevon Moehrig"
  • RD3 #68 (Guard) "Damien Lewis"
  • RD3 #101 (LB) "Baron Browning"
  • RD5 #153 (Kicker) "Evan McPherson"

All the players in bold listed above were drafted at roughly the same spots the Lions will be picking next year in this scenario.

I really feel with just this one 2022 draft listed above all of the major holes in the Lions roster will be filled and this will be a team that will be ready to compete for the playoffs next season.

Gonna be so nice having two picks in the 1st the next two years. Hope we don’t have to trade them for a QB

With a few FA additions, that would be pretty good.

This is cute but we all know the main prize gets picked one pick before the Lions (not this year though, this year felt different)

Yes but they will probably not be 3rd round so did not include them.

John Metchie with the rams pick, depending on how the Rams do. Being Alabama’s no. 1 receiver will make his stock rise so he might get picked earlier then 20+ but this kid is a stud.
