2023 NFL draft class rankings: Which teams added the most consensus value? (32. Lions: One example of a team that operated on the different end of the spectrum: the Detroit Lions. While the Lions’ first two picks in the first round were head scratchers based on how highly they drafted each player, they also drafted players like Brodric Martin, Colby Sorsdal and Sam LaPorta much higher than predicted in rounds 2 through 5. This exercise does not determine that a player, such as Martin, is a bust or won’t play well in the NFL. It does showcase that Martin would have likely been available after the third round and the Lions did not have to draft him almost three rounds earlier than they did (expected to be pick 260, was drafted at pick 164, nearly 100 picks earlier).): https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/2023-nfl-draft-class-rankings-which-teams-added-the-most-consensus-value
Ranking every team's 2023 NFL Draft class (21. Detroit Lions - Favorite pick: We know Jahmyr Gibbs was a surprise at No. 12 but, man, he is special, especially in this offense that features one of the NFL's best offensive lines – not to mention an opportunity for Gibbs to even line up in the slot. Best value: Sam LaPorta got some first-round buzz in the weeks leading up to the draft, and clearly the Lions felt that way about him, too. The idea of him and Gibbs lining up on offense at the same time is going to be a real problem for the rest of the division. Most surprising pick: Colby Sorsdal gets the name check here for one reason: As a William & Mary alum, we're happy to see Sorsdal get to live the draft-day experience. He was team captain, an FCS All-American, and started 46 games at right tackle. He has a long frame and is a good athlete who moves well in space, but his 32 and 3/4-inch arms could necessitate a move inside at the next level. He'll also need to add some weight to anchor better in pass protection.): https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/ranking-every-teams-2023-nfl-draft-class-steelers-colts-crush-it-several-playoff-teams-raise-questions/
2023 NFL Draft: Ranking favorite picks in every round (2. Brian Branch: Branch was arguably the best player on Alabama's defense last year, more impactful at times than No. 3 overall pick Will Anderson Jr. His size and athleticism are not elite by any means, but his skill set as a tackler and nickel defender were first-round worthy.): https://www.nfl.com/news/2023-nfl-draft-ranking-favorite-picks-in-every-round
