ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. mocks quarterback to Lions with team's second first-round pick

Holding the No. 2 pick in the upcoming draft, don't expect much variety with the projections regarding who the Detroit Lions will be taking at that spot.

The overwhelming consensus opinion is the team will be taking one of the top two edge rushers in the class, either Michigan's Aidan Hutchinson or Oregon's Kayvon Thibodeaux.

In his first mock draft of the year, ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. has the Lions snagging a Duck in the first round for the second consecutive year.

"Thibodeaux, who was a No. 1 overall high school recruit, has elite upside," Kiper writes.
