Wednesday open thread: Which pass rusher would you rather have with the Lions’ first pick?

The Detroit Lions have clinched at least the second overall pick in the 2022 draft and with the 2021 season coming to a close, it’s time to start looking at draft prospects. Many of you have already narrowed down your preference pool significantly, which is understandable when you’re picking that high. Edge rushers Aidan Hutchinson (Michigan) and Kayvon Thibodeaux (Oregon) are likely to be the cream of the crop come April.

Nonetheless, both Hutchinson and Thibodeaux have been tearing apart offensive lines and offensive game plans all season, and as it stands now the Lions can’t really go wrong with either one.

Oh, and before you say Hutchinson “disappeared” in the bowl game:
