The Detroit Lions are in an enviable position in the 2023 draft because of the work in roster building that GM Brad Holmes and his staff have done in the last two years and continued in this year's free-agent market. The Lions will be drafting from a position of strength, starting with two first-round picks – No. 6 and No. 18 – and through their final pick in the sixth round. It doesn't mean Holmes won't be faced with hard decisions as he navigates the Lions through his third draft, but many of those decisions will be based on which good option to take. It could be which position to strengthen, or whether to trade up or down – or stand pat.
