In the 2023 Pride of Detroit Community Mock Draft, the Detroit Lions selected Josh Downs, a wide receiver from North Carolina, with the 55th overall pick.

He brings a lot of what Kalif Raymond does to the table, but with more juice on offense. Downs' skill set combined with Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams would give the Lions three very unique, stylistically different wide receivers under contract for the next several seasons.
