Lions picks roundly regarded as the
2023 NFL Draft: Five picks with the worst value
#1 - Jahmyr Gibbs, RB, Detroit Lions

While the Bears had 6 picks that ranked in the top 100 in value( actually top 82) :
- 16. Darnell Wright, OT, Chicago Bears (Pick 1-10)
-
- 27. Tyler Scott, WR, Chicago Bears (Pick 4-133)
-
- 44. Terell Smith, CB, Chicago Bears (Pick 5-165)
-
- 46. Roschon Johnson, RB, Chicago Bears (Pick 4-115)
-
- 68. Gervon Dexter Sr., DT, Chicago Bears (Pick 2-53)
-
- 82. Tyrique Stevenson, CB, Chicago Bears (Pick 2-56)
Right now the Bears have a new #1 WR, a newstud RT, RG, and a three headed monster at RB.
Right now the Lions paid big money for a RB you considered worse than the one they just let go.
Right now Justin Fields is creating an exciting buzz about next year all around the NFL, no one gives a shit about Jared Goof and the Detoilet Patella Nibblers
