  1. I have a feeling we are getting smith back no way he didn't take a edge in the first 3 rounds unless he has something up his sleeve I love this draft too great job holmes

  3. I hope you all are listening to what brad holmes is saying about why he picked the players he picked so just lets see how it plays out.

  4. Man you all got to get used to being a winning team. These guys have been pretty Rock Solid, since they've taken over. Too many are you fans are not football knowledgeable. This was a pretty damn good draft. This team has a lot of talent. Y'all need to get over drafting from the bottom😮😂

  5. Be careful with the arrogance, Brad. Terrion and Rakestraw are on your record, too, and they were terrible last year. You have all of the data and the fans have limited data….we have eyes, and those eyes told us that Terrion was vastly overrated by you. Our eyes also are telling us that without Hutch we have ZERO pass rush. You completely ignored that in this draft, and a bunch of really good edges were passed up for reaches at Guard and a WR that you took too rounds too early.

  6. We'll begin to really find out just how good this draft has been once these players get to training camp,
    But I expect it'll be another winning class.
    Holmes & Campbell have proven to me they are an elite GM/HC duo and I'm very pleased they're in Detroit .

  7. He nailed it. This cracks me up about the fans it's not just Detroit it's every team but actually thinking they know anything. They don't even have any of the information not only from what the team wants to do but the personality and characters of all the players involved. In fact the fans just get any of their knowledge from basically YouTube highlights and watching a few analysts. I can't believe people have the audacity to actually think the rest of us give a crap who they think is good and isn't, the arrogance is astounding

  8. The 'F 'em Sacks' Brad is doing his thing. "Hey, Eagles sacks don't MATTER!" In fact, every Super Bowl winner should know that SACKS don't matter! All this is going to do is pressure Hutchinson to do the job of two edges which may lead to more injuries. Where Mr. Brad Holmes can tell me to jump in the river which he often does in some way, because the Lions had a 15-2 record. The Eagles, Chiefs (2), Rams didn't win 15 regular-season games. They took sacks and Super Bowls seriously. Being the new Vikings is nice, but I want more

  11. BEAUTIFULLY ANSWERED!! thank you Brad!! People "pretending" like they are actually scouting these players and have put hours of film work in on them! Smh… leave that to the people that so this for a living!

  13. I've been a lions fan/nfl fan my whole life, I'm 45, Lucky enough to be at the Tennessee Titans game last season when Jahmyr Gibbs and the team went off, Just want to say we thank you all and we believe in you Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell & staff, Again seriously thank you. We believe in you guys bringing a Super Bowl championship victory back home to Detroit!

  16. 3rd worst passing defense in 2024 and not one draft pick will improve that this season. These are building for the future picks and not win a championship now picks. So sad because the window is about to close very soon 🙁 Brad has lost his magic at the draft 🙁

  17. There is NO offensive coach that will be saying… hey man, Lions didn’t add an edge… we’re good! We have the resources to get after the QB. Keeping them fit is the key. The beauty about the BNL’s is we’ll prove everyone wrong… again!

    Let’s go, Brad! ❤

  21. This man has lost all the equity he built up with me the past 4 years. These last two drafts have been terrible. I no longer have grown to stand on sticking up for him

  23. Unfortunately you can’t win a sb and pay for a good roster if your QB is getting nearly 60 mill a yr. There’s no room to acquire a good team period. Where’s this going? So in 8 yrs is it the norm for 100+ mill a year? It’s not sustainable. 20-30 is plenty.

  25. Holy crap. Brad I have to apologize. First time I've ever questioned your ability… No longer.. I really thought you were going to overlook Ahmed.
    When you said edge wasn't your concern.. I died inside knowing that this kid was still on the board.. I begged in my heart you would see this kid. And you did… I will never question your thought process ever again…. Ahmed Hassanein THE FIRST EGYPTIAN EVER TO BE A NFL STAR.. CONGRATULATIONS

  26. Great job Lions Organization. We know you guys have a lot more invested than most do and we know your doing all that you can. Most of us are enjoying the ride as opposed to whining about what moves move are being made.

  34. Perfect answer to the fake GMs out there …. Yall not puttin in the work and what it takes to pick these guys so be quiet from here on out 🎉
