DONE DEAL FROM DETROIT LIONS Jahmyr Gibbs..
Thanks to a top-ranked offense, the Detroit Lions have progressed to their first NFC championship game in thirty-two years. However, NFL mock draft experts anticipate the Lions will prioritize defensive players in the draft in order to improve as a team for the upcoming season. NFL.com’s Bucky Brooks predicted in his first 2024 mock draft that the Lions would select Penn State edge rusher Chop Robinson.
tary pass rusher to take Aidan Hutchinson’s place,” Brooks penned. “Robinson is incredibly athletic.”
An extra pass rusher to complement defensive end Aidan Hutchinson would be useful for the Lions. Hutchinson was the only Lions defender with more than five sacks in the 2023 regular season, despite the fact that Detroit had 18 defenders with at least one sack recorded.
One of the NFL’s brightest young pass rushers is Hutchinson. In his first two seasons in the NFL, he recorded at least 9.5 sacks. Hutchinson was the NFL’s top pressurer in 2023.
Hutchinson has tallied 8 sacks in only the last 4 games. His other stats over the last four games are on par with what his teammates have accomplished all season.
“Hutchinson would rank third on the Lions with the 31 pressures he created through the previous four weeks, including the regular season and two postseason games,” Benjamin Raven of MLive.com reported.
Obviously, Brooks is right. A complementary pass rusher for Hutchinson would be useful to the Lions.
Robinson played in 30 college games for Maryland and Penn State, but only managed 11.5 sacks. However, Robinson’s exceptional athleticism makes NFL scouts adore his potential at the next level.
