Analytics-driven 2022 NFL Draft Grades: The Pittsburgh Steelers lead the way (The Detroit Lions did something that rarely happens in the NFL draft: They traded up in the first round without losing a lot of value. Add that they selected a valuable player, and we are talking about a good move. Add that they nailed the Aidan Hutchinson pick and didn’t have any hiccups on Day 2. That’s a good draft in my book.):  https://www.pff.com/news/draft-2022-nfl-draft-grades-analytics-driven

Walter football 2022 NFL Draft Winners and Losers: Day 1 (Winners - When you have two first-round picks, it can be easy to look good, and Detroit did that. The Lions, however, went above and beyond with a brilliant trade-up in the first round. At No. 2 overall, they landed a long-term feature edge rusher in Aidan Hutchinson to build their team around. Many other franchises viewed Hutchinson as the safest pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.  When the 12th pick rolled around, it was shocking to see Detroit pop up on the clock. They absolutely ripped off the Vikings in trading up 20 spots and essentially only giving up a third-round pick. The Lions then used the 12th pick to take Williams, a speedster who could be their long-term No. 1 receiver, and add a game breaker to their offense. The Lions were a big rebuilding project when they hired general manager Brad Holmes and head coach Dan Campbell. After two drafts, they are off to a great start, adding premium talents with first-round picks Penei Sewell, Aidan Hutchinson and Jameson Williams.):  https://walterfootball.com/draft2022winnerslosers.php
