Below is a very thorough analysis conducted as far as where potential cities stand in terms of meeting Amazon's needs.
Surprisingly, Detroit ranked relatively high, with a score greater than 40%. Only 3 others (Chicago, Philadelphia and DC) barely had a score greater than 50%.
It should be noted, he dinged Detroit for a lack of housing. He also didn't include Ann Arbor / University of Michigan in his analysis. Take that however you like.

I did chuckle at this part, as he has a point. With both Detroit and Atlanta being Delta's top hubs, you can practically get the same number of direct flights to the same number of destinations in both cities.

I’m not going to bother with debating whether Atlanta should get more airport points than Detroit.
