The Detroit Lions have selected Western Kentucky DT Brodric Martin with the 96th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. The Lions acquired the pick via a trade with the Arizona Cardinals. The Lions gave up picks 122, 139, and 168 to move up to pick 96.
My grade: B
This seems like another one of those picks where Brad Holmes locked in on a guy and decided to go and get him, and I’m all for that. Martin is a beefy, run-stuffing nose tackle who fits a very similar profile to Isaiah Buggs, who the Lions just re-signed to fill their interior.
