We know that most analysts heavily criticized the Detroit Lions for their picks in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft. We also know that they were determined to be a Day 2 “winners” by many media members. So now that the Lions’ entire draft class has come into focus, how do writers feel…

The Detroit Lions survived another three-day draftapalooza, reeling in eight new players during the NFL draft 2023. Brad Holmes, the team’s third-year general manager, made six trades in all, five while he was on the draft clock, to boost a roster and depth chart favored to win the NFC North crown. Draft grades, taken with
We won’t know for a year or three whether Brad Holmes made the right picks in the 2023 NFL draft. He landed five of the draft’s top 60 or so prospects, but eschewed positional value in Round 1, and took on injury risk to do so on Day 2. But in his third year as
It’s gotta be the sweatshirt, right? After all, how many NFL general managers hit a news conference podium repping their coach on their chest? As Brad Holmes did Saturday afternoon at Detroit Lions headquarters in Allen Park when he sported a black sweatshirt with a large photo of Dan Campbell ironed onto it? (Not that
Here’s how the first-round selections in the 2023 NFL Draft measured up against FanSided’s 2023 NFL Draft Big Board featuring the Top 50 players. The first round of the 2023 NFL Draft didn’t go exactly as planned, but then again, it never does. Some picks were predictable for valid reasons, such as the Carolina Panthers
The appeal of the NFL draft is that it’s shopping with someone else’s money. You get to cheer, criticize, yell “Buy!” or “Don’t buy!” and it doesn’t cost you a thing. The one person whom it does cost — and therefore the only one who matters — is the general manager. In the case of
Allen Park — By now, it’s an annual NFL Draft tradition for Lions general manager Brad Holmes. Once the pick is in, the viral celebration erupts. And the furniture in the Lions’ war room takes a serious beating. It started two years ago when Detroit landed Penei Sewell with the seventh overall pick. And it
The Detroit Lions took Tennessee quarterback Hendon Hooker in the third round of the NFL draft, but Hooker isn’t the only rookie signal-caller they’re adding to their roster. Former Kansas State quarterback Adrian Martinez agreed to an undrafted rookie deal with the Lions on Saturday. Martinez, who made a pre-draft visit to the Lions in
Allen Park — With the 2023 NFL Draft complete, the Detroit Lions have begun to reach out to undrafted players to fill out the roster. Below will be a list of prospects who have reportedly agreed with the team. Note: There is some fluidity with these announcements because the agreements won’t be formalized for a
With no real role for D’Andre Swift in the present, Brad Holmes had to do the right thing for the Detroit Lions‘ future. The Lions traded Swift to the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday, two days after they used their first-round pick on Alabama running back Jahmyr Gibbs. In return, they received a 2025 fourth-round pick

Jameson Williams will miss the first six games of next season because of a gambling suspension, but Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes said he is not concerned about the second-year receiver’s behavior as a whole. “Look, he made a mistake,” Holmes said Saturday in his first public comments about Williams’ suspension. “He made a
With the final pick of the 2023 NFL Draft, “Detroit vs. Everybody” took on a whole new meaning. Detroit native and Toledo edge defender Desjuan Johnson became this year’s “Mr. Irrelevant” when he was selected by the Los Angeles Rams, 259th-overall, to close the three-day festivities from Kansas City. Johnson, who was All-MAC for three

Bryce Baringer was arguably the best punter in the nation last fall, and on Saturday, the Waterford native became the first Michigan State punter selected in the NFL Draft in 16 years. Baringer, a first-team All-American in 2022, was selected with the 15th pick of the sixth round, going No. 192 overall to the New
Allen Park — The Detroit Lions are expecting Jameson Williams’ recent transgression, a violation of the league’s gambling policy that netted the second-year receiver a six-game suspension, to be a blip on the radar in his development as both a player and person. “Jameson, look, he made a mistake,” Lions general manager Brad Holmes said
Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes jumped up and pounded the table. He charged around the Lions draft room, violently bro-hugging anybody he could find. Elbows flying — oops, sorry Dan Campbell. Pounding backs. Adrenaline fueled. Testosterone overload. Same as last year when they landed Jameson Williams. It’s a scene that never gets old for
