Indianapolis — Do the Detroit Lions truly need a running back in the 2023 NFL draft? If they re-sign Jamaal Williams, which the team's leadership has said is a desired offseason outcome, then the answer is probably no.
But, in the spirit of exploring every avenue to improve the roster, there can be no question there's an opportunity to supercharge the backfield via the NFL draft if they were to select Texas standout Bijan Robinson.
Admittedly, this is a deep class of running backs. It's in no way a stretch to say the Lions could find a long-term contributor in the middle or even the late rounds.
