@FootballGuy_Al His drafts are bad.. He wanted to trade up for fat ass lineman named Big Krispy cuz he eats krispy kremes by the dozens. That's all I need to know that Holmes isnt fit for the job. his free agency signings are worse than his drafts..
Brad Holmes has done a tremendous job doubling down on positions of need this offseason — bringing in outside talent while ensuring this roster has real optionality and depth:
Free Agency ➡️ NFL Draft
• Right Tackle: Larry Borom ➡️ Blake Miller
• Edge: D. J. Wonnum ➡️ Derrick Moore
• Inside-Outside CB: Roger McCreary ➡️ Keith Abney II
• Will LB/ST: Damone Clark ➡️ Jimmy Rolder
• Slot/Return: Greg Dortch ➡️ Kendrick Law
• Center: Cade Mays + Juice Scruggs
A younger, deeper, more durable — and far more competitive — roster than a year ago.
Brad Holmes approached this draft with “a little more fire” — and a reminder on his office wall that #lions watched the playoffs from home.
“When you miss the playoffs, that might be the kick in the rear that you need.”
“The urgency needed to be pushed up on everything.”
@DaleDetroitMI@letsdiscuss313@nolanbianchi I'd be happy to. I wouldnt have tried to trade up for a lazy ass Tackle whose nickname came from eating krispy kremes.. Thats YOUR GM that did that..😄
@StotheOB@nolanbianchi Whats that got ya so far? You must be the fan likes to be good and not great. You'll always have your 2 North division banners..😄 Crazy every player I picked was drafted by teams that were in the playoffs. Carry on with your Holmes lip service..
@jsavage76@nolanbianchi Hence why youre doing it on your simulator, while he gets paid millions to take arguably the worst team in football to a 45-23 record year 2 onward
@DaleDetroitMI@letsdiscuss313@nolanbianchi How's that draft room doing? Since 15-2 this team has regressed each year with countless busts and injury prone players. Keep drinkin that lions kool aid.
@letsdiscuss313@jsavage76@nolanbianchi Great question.....
What's "wrong" is you get these idiots who print out countless mock drafts and assessments from OTHER idiots......narrow them down, and then assume THEY'RE conclusions outweigh those of the entire Lions Draft Room.....
@JimCosta_ Its like every other Detroit sports team a disappointment. GMs sit on their hands and dont take their teams over the top with bold moves. Instead we sit in failure and mediocrity but all the bots and homers will still spend the money on this.
What letter grade would you give Brad Holmes’ 2026 NFL Draft class?
17th Overall: OT Blake Miller
44th Overall: DE Derrick Moore
117th Overall: LB Jimmy Rolder
157th Overall: CB Keith Abney
168th Overall: WR Kendrick Law
205th Overall: DT Skyler Gill-Howard
222nd Overall: DT Tyre West
@IYKbaseball Its not hard to go from horrible to good with multiple first rd picks in the top 12. Now he cant make the team great when hes drafting in the 20s. Constant reaches of players drafted higher than projected and also never building draft capital always wasting it on projects.
Lions have never had a GM who consistently drafted more good to great players than Brad Holmes..yet..the endless complaining and second guessing is just exhausting..plus he is the only GM in town will to make deals to get exactly who he wants..and people still whine about it..
@officialctpod Guess we drafting special teams ayers in the 4th rd while everyone else is grabbing starters. Can we fire Holmes please. Guys selections outside of the top 12 are a joke..
@nolanbianchi Not who they just took.. Rolder in the 4th really.. while dani dennis sutton was still available and goes to the packers 2 picks later.. Fire Holmes he cant draft outside the top 12 picks..
@riger1984 Couldve had Ponds at 50.. Heard Baltimore GM passed out from laughter when Moore was the pick. Holmes should take notes from DeCosta on how to draft. Ioane and Zion compared to Miller and Moore..
