Mocking top 9 picks in 2023 NFL Draft: A big name QB falls to Chicago Bears

6. Detroit Lions - Devon Witherspoon - CB, Illinois

People wonder if the Detroit Lions will go with Jalen Carter here. However, when you are thinking of the Detroit Lions culture, you are thinking of Devon Witherspoon. Witherspoon will hit you, will get his hands on the ball, and then he will tell you about it.

For his size, nobody in the draft plays tougher, and nobody brings more swagger. If Dan Campbell played cornerback, he would have his heart on his sleeve like Devon Witherspoon. Beyond that, the team moved on from Jeff Okudah, almost signaling that this will be the pick.

The Lions' secondary was awful last season, but they like the scheme, and Witherspoon fits perfectly into the scheme. It is hard to see the Lions passing on Devon Witherspoon here.
