If Aidan Hutchinson makes it to No. 2, the Detroit Lions have a seemingly easy decision to make in next week’s NFL draft. If he doesn’t, opinions are all over the map on what the Lions should do with their first of two first-round picks. While most speculation has centered around the top pass rushers,
