This was a slam dunk for the Lions. Hutch should start right away, make an impact and possibly have a chance at ROTY.

The match made in heaven for the @Lions. Aidan Hutchinson was the best player in the draft for me.

You’re getting an awesome physical talent who is every bit like TJ Watt. And on top of that you have the Michigan connection. Love it.
Aidan Hutchinson was drafted with pick 2 of round 1 in the 2022 draft class. He scored a 9.88 RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 19 out of 1503 DE from 1987 to 2022. https://t.co/GaNo2tViCr #RAS #Lions pic.twitter.com/bEBGSg64ML

It's rare for a player to be a massive value at pick number 2 overall.

But Aidan Hutchinson is exactly that. Immediate contributor, massive upside, will be a perfect fit with what Detroit is building.
Aidan Hutchinson is my #1 overall prospect.
