Ranking the top 10 instant impact rookies for the 2022 NFL season: Skyy Moore, Logan Hall head of the class (3. Aidan Hutchinson, EDGE, Lions:  It's layup time. Hutchinson was the No. 2 overall pick to a team in dire need of edge-rushing juice. Beyond that, Detroit had to find a three-down, high-energy defender who could assume a leadership role. All that embodies what Hutchinson will bring to the field in the Motor City. Hutchinson's swim move, speed-to-power conversion, and impressive bend at nearly 6-7 and 260 pounds will make him an instant-impact rusher in Detroit.):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/ranking-the-top-10-instant-impact-rookies-for-the-2022-nfl-season-skyy-moore-logan-hall-head-of-the-class/

Falcons’ Drake London, Lions’ Jameson Williams among five 2022 NFL Draft first-round picks with difficult rookie setups (Jameson Williams, WR, Detroit Lions (12th overall):  The Lions traded up from the 32nd overall pick to 12th to select Jameson Williams. The out-of-nowhere trade up for the Alabama wideout was met with shock, seemingly from all onlookers, including Williams, who looked less than thrilled to be at his introductory press conference.  That said, as he recovers from an ACL surgery, Williams will need to learn the Lions’ offense, which didn’t have much success last season. Williams will be back at some point during his rookie campaign, and Detroit will ask him to carry the passing offense for the foreseeable future.  The Lions traded two top-34 picks to get him, and now the pressure is on Williams to recover from his injury and deliver. That’s a tough ask for anyone, let alone a rookie wideout with Jared Goff as his primary QB.):  https://www.profootballnetwork.com/falcons-drake-london-lions-jameson-williams-among-five-first-round-picks-with-difficult-rookie-setups/
