Quotes
“But Holmes has always talked about keeping this team consistently competitive for years to come, and it’s worth wondering if the 2024 NFL Draft truly reflects that priority.” Jeremy Reisman
NFL execs discuss the Lions draft anonymously. Compiled by the Athletic
"One exec thought the Lions trading a 2025 third-round pick to the Jets... at No. 126, and then using another fourth-rounder for combination safety/running back Sione Vaki, bordered on arrogance."
“I was just like in disbelief on what was going on. Like it was just hard to think about anything. I was just in the moment like – unforgettable experience.” - Makena McGee on announcing the Detroit Lions 1st round selection of Terrion Arnold
On the Around the NFL Podcast, The Athletic’s @JourdanRodrigue explains Brad Holmes approach, modeled from Les Snead, who “swings hard regardless of the cost” when ready to break through. “To NFL teams, it’s not just playoff team or not playoff team, once you become a playoff team, there are actual tiers to the dance, like breaking glass into legitimate Super Bowl contention.” - Jourdan Rodrigue Clip: https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxC3y2jSeERDBcr9TtZyhIQMcENoBUU0Qs?si=9b07awmTjAmr5mER
“A lot of the stuff that the Rams would get external praise for when they were identifying middle and late-round players -- Brad was one of the people who help set and identify that framework, and who really pushed for that type of thinking along with Les (Snead).” - Jourdan Rodrigue
Question🤔 of the Day: Does Brad's 2024 Draft class reflect his priority to keep the Lions consistently competitive in the future? Why or why not?
