Back in 2023, Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes showed up to the NFL Combine wearing a hoodie with the word “VILLAIN” sprawled across it. At the time, Holmes didn’t offer much of an explanation on the mantra, simply saying it was something their front office was adopting for upcoming draft.
Following the selection of Terrion Arnold in the first round, the Detroit Lions continued to bolster their cornerback corps by drafting Missouri CB Ennis Rakestraw with their second-round pick, initiating a comprehensive overhaul of last year’s cornerback room. The decision to pick consecutive cornerbacks may have surprised observers, but Rakestraw embodies the qualities the Lions
The Detroit Lions pulled something of a surprise in selecting Missouri cornerback Ennis Rakestraw with the 61st overall pick of the 2024 NFL draft. It’s not that Rakestraw was an unknown prospect; he was one of the most commonly projected players to Detroit in the early portion of the offseason. Yet after taking Alabama CB
The Detroit Lions selected Missouri cornerback Ennis Rakestraw with the 61st overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. It was the Lions’ first pick on Day 2 of the draft, and also their last of the day, barring Brad Holmes trading back up into the third round. That leaves the Lions with two new corners…
What an opening night of the 2024 NFL Draft! As always, the draft is most unpredictable and one scenario that may have crossed our minds as fans but never seemed realistic was the Lions moving up to select Alabama cornerback Terrion Arnold. Fortunately, that’s exactly what the Lions did on Thursday night. As the Dallas
The Detroit Lions pulled off a Day 1 trade in the 2024 NFL Draft to secure arguably the top cornerback in this class: Terrion Arnold. While Arnold is a perfect fit for the Lions’ organization, both in mentality and schematically, the move to seal this deal cost the Lions a third-round pick (No. 73) in…
Alabama CB Terrion Arnold looks like everything the Detroit Lions were searching for. The Lions went 12-5 and reached the NFC Championship Game – where they led by 17 points at halftime – last season, despite some of the worst cornerback play in the National Football League. After trading for veteran Carlton Davis and signing
Almost three years to the date, Amon-Ra St. Brown was furious at the world, trying to shake off his frustrations with another round at the Jugs machine. St. Brown had just been passed over for the first two days on the 2022 NFL Draft after throwing a big party on Day 2.
Lions Once CB Terrion Arnold started sliding past his expected draft status, the Lions felt they had to make a move to trade up and get him. Detroit GM Brad Holmes is enamored with the pick and went through the process to move up. “It wasn’t a whole lot of trade backs that early just
The Detroit Lions are currently sitting at pick 61, near the end of the second round. They currently do not have a third round pick after trading it last night to move up and take Terrion Arnold. This puts them in a tough situation for the second day of the draft. While there are still
GM Brad Holmes has once again demonstrated his willingness to make bold moves in the draft to secure top talent for the Detroit Lions. Trading up from the 29th to the 24th pick, Holmes orchestrated a move to acquire Alabama cornerback Terrion Arnold, one of the premier defensive prospects in this year’s draft class. The
Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes couldn’t believe that Alabama cornerback Terrion Arnold was still on the board at pick 24 in the 2024 NFL Draft. “I didn’t think he was going to be there,” Holmes said after the draft. “Really, didn’t think he was going to be there calling (into the) late teens.”
Day one is in the books for the Detroit Lions and it went very well for them. The board broke in the perfect way and it allowed the Lions to get the best cornerback in the draft in Alabama’s Terrion Arnold. Now we move to day two where there’s two rounds and plenty of decisions
