For this week\u2019s question, we provided fans five options\u2014QB Luke Altmyer, TE Miles Kitselman, EDGE Anthony Lucas, DT Aidan Keanaaina, and LB Erick Hunter\u2014to choose from, while also allowing them an \u201cother\u201d option in case they felt strongly about an under-the-radar candidate.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s take a look at the results from our survey:<\/p>\n
People love to breathe hope into pass rushers like Anthony Lucas, but there may be more fire in this smoke than originally thought, based on early assessments from OTAs and minicamp. While the Lions are likely set amongst their first three edge options\u2014Aidan Hutchinson, Derrick Moore, and DJ Wonnum\u2014presumed EDGE4 Payton Turner has struggled to stay healthy throughout his career, and with Ahmed Hassanein shifting to the Big End, Lucas could be next in line for a contributing role.<\/p>\n
Kitselman was my personal choice immediately following the draft, and he has reportedly already climbed the depth chart enough that he should enter training camp in a. presummed TE4 role.<\/p>\n
As a reminder, this survey was sponsored by the folks over at FanDuel Sportsbook<\/a>, who currently have the Lions listed as +1700 to win this year\u2019s Super Bowl, +850 to win the NFC Championship, and +145 to win the NFC North as the current favorites.<\/p>\n Throughout the year, we ask questions of the most plugged-in Detroit Lions<\/a> fans and fans across the country.
