The Matthew Stafford deal to the Los Angeles Rams two offseasons ago netted the organisation two first-round picks in the upcoming draught: the No. 3 overall pick and the No. 13 overall pick.

The greatest pass rusher and best defensive prospect overall in the draught class may still be available at No. 3 overall, as well: Georgia EDGE Will Jr. Anderson

Anderson would be a major improvement for a Detroit defence that is tied with the New York Giants for 26th in sacks per game in 2022 (1.8 sacks/game) after leading the country with 17.5 sacks a season ago and has 10 this year.

The Lions would then select linebacker Trenton Simpson from Clemson with the 13th overall pick, giving them more defensive reinforcement.

Simpson has amassed 65 total tackles, 2.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles so far this season. He can succeed in coverage, as a blitzer, and as a run stopper.
