Welcome back to another episode of the Adam Schaefter podcast.

0:12.1

As the year winds down, we are joined today by two men who have quite a bit in common,

0:17.1

more than you might think.

0:19.0

Aidan Hutchinson, the outstanding young defensive end from

0:22.3

the University of Michigan, who figures to be potentially the number one overall pick in the

0:28.7

draft in April coming off an outstanding season at the University of Michigan. And he will join

0:35.3

us to talk about what has been and what is ahead.

0:38.1

And then we'll be joined by a man who basically walked down the path that Aidan Hutchinson

0:44.3

did only in Columbus, Ohio. Nick Bosa, the outstanding young defensive end for the San Francisco

0:51.4

49ers who wound up being the second overall pick in 2019 and something

0:57.8

of a role model for Aiden Hutchinson himself. Both of those two young defensive ends will

1:03.7

join us and they are excellent conversations, I believe. Now, Ayn Hutchinson has a real chance to go

1:09.6

number one because this is a draft that does

1:12.5

not have an obvious top 10 quarterback pick. Quarterbacks have gone number one overall in six of

1:20.1

the past seven drafts, but this might be the first time since 2013 that we don't even see a quarterback going the top 10 picks.

1:31.0

Last time that happened was 2013 when E.J. Manuel was the first quarterback taken at number

1:38.7

16 overall. And Aiden Hutchinson is going to be a top pick. He's either going to go number one,

1:45.9

two, three, right there, maybe number one. And Detroit would make a lot of sense for a guy like

1:53.3

Aiden Hutchinson. This is a team right now that's in the bottom five and yards allowed for play,

1:58.6

points allowed per game, sacks. They haven't generated a lot of

2:02.2

pressure. And yes, the Lions need a quarterback. But there isn't an obvious quarterback to draft this

2:07.0

year. So that points to a guy like Aiden Hutchinson. And who is the Lions head coach? Dan Campbell.
