@@PR2082 Man, I luv what you guys are doing...crushing the last few drafts actually with DC at the wheel...how can you not respect what is going on there...I hope you guys get to the promised land....your Lions are doing it right man...I grew up watching Barry and Megatron and rooted for them as a football fan...but now it's all coming together in the Motor City, so crisp.
Yeah! You're right. Don't think I've given him enough credit for this. It's never excuses or some bullshit. He gives you straight up answers. I love this man
Him and Dan both do that. It’s so fun just to listen to both of them talk because I feel like I learn more about coaching and roster building in the NFL every time.
Brad is the man and I love how he works hand in hand with Dan “the man” Campbell. I just don’t have words for the joy I feel about our staff and team I’ve waited 54 years for this moment
What Brad does best is ignore the outside. He's not just going away from the norm and bucking status quo, he's creating the new normal everyone is or will try to emulate.
Ehhh. It was a really long slow turn around that everyone seems to think just happened with Holmes. Quinn laid the ground work for the new OL with glasgow, ragnow, decker, and Jackson
Brad did it again. Every player he picked has potential, some could be stars and some will be future starters. I think Manu, Wingo, and Mahogany could all turn into good players. It’s so nice having competent people running this team.
I personally think Mahogony is already a good player, I was surprised to see him fall as low as he did. Dude could be a great Guard in the league in a few years.
Downtown Detroit is the most unique and interesting metropolitan area in the country imho. I travel endlessly as an electrical contractor and I was simply gobsmacked by the architecture and old school splendor. Even the urban decay is fascinating in an awe inspiring way. Big fan of that place.
Two years ago we were the worst against the run last year one of the worst against the pass; keeping out of the super bowl and the championship, problem solved. We got other players for depth and the future. To the people doubting Brad, I hear the is another draft next year. We are not an all in team but building something to last
Dude is ELITE as a GM. Period. I would never question anything this man does after that 1st draft he had in Detroit getting Penei and Amon and the rest of the picks he’s made.
To all the football fans around the country big thanks to all of you for helping us break the attendance record over 700,000 ppl . Hope the country gotta feel for Detroit and its Hospitality. We appreciate all of you!
@@dillonrostorfer202 quite the opposite. You can’t draft all these players just to be potentially cut. We are at the point where we can draft for certain players and be okay with it
Lions fan living an hour from Green Bay. People love to come to Lambeau. This is an historic place, don’t be surprised that it doesn’t get close. Milwaukee is close enough to pack them in
I like all the picks this year. I think that's the first time as being a fan I have been able to say that. Some of that comes from believing in Holmes. Let's Go Lions!!
I was born and raised in here, Detroit have always been a football city so it's not surprising to me that 775,000 ppl came out to my city to party during the NFL Draft🎉🎉🎉!!!
I gave a thumbs up and I am happy with the pick, too, and always excited about guys that are freak athletes......but I do have to respond to your post...in a truly non-snarky way....by saying that USC didn't even play defense this year......so even hacks like you and I might have been able to put up a 100 on them.
If you notice Brad Holmes usually draft players that were Captains on their college teams. He also draft players that played at a high level before getting injured then, those same injured players work hard to get back from those injuries. Those same injured players work hard to get back to playing at a high level. I believe this mentality is what he means when he says, these players are "wired right". Brad Holmes also seems to value players that are versatile. Players that can play multiple positions, on the football field.
Realistically, we didn't have 2 firsts and two seconds as we usually do. It doesn't always work that way. At least we are not predictable. We shored up the biggest weakness the long-term CB situation. One CB was comparable to Witherspoon. I would have loved him in the last 7-8 games last year! Are we going to resign Decker next year for 20-30 million. That's what LT's cost? Well, we drafted someone who Fraley can coach up over the next year. No more 400 yard receiving games. OUR QUALITY of DB's has improved exponentially. We didn't have a 3rd or a 4th. So, we live with the results of our limited picks. We have a DL an OL and coaches to train up.
I how I can full fill my bucket list beforci pass on to see and meet all of the lions team and coaches and all people who are a part of the linos team and organation
The difference between this regime and past regimes is this regime takes accountability and tells you straight out what’s happening and is honest the past regimes never done that and it speaks volumes to how much success this team has achieved over the past 3-4 years
If Brad Holmes has proved anything, he has proved he knows football. Everyone saying he could have got these guys in later rounds don’t understand that they were likely being looked at by other teams. Lions arguably the best rookies in all of the nfl last season. Let him cook
Pretty soon we won't have any roster spots. Guys will start getting plucked off the practice squad. I was begging to give up capital to go get guys he really wanted
First two picks are starters this year. Mayne not #1 but they will play. Not sure about the projects we took on. Playing a dangerous game with projects and judging potential without great tape vs good opponets
Hope fans understand this. There’s a strong possibility many guys won’t work out. Look at how fans bailed on paschal. How many people said “we need a de”? That’s a 2nd right there. Levi is a bust. The reality is both his 4th rounders are boom or bust. On a long enough scope, you’re going to see far more busts than booms. It’s just the reality.
Most of the guys were picked because of the line are injured often and when one goes down it’s a long day for goff. So being able to plug in guys that’s kinda ready is better than putting a guy out there that needs a lot of time in the oven
These Lions show the difference between drafting in Madden vs real life. They aren’t the Lions of old that seemingly got hypnotized by ratings and numbers. They select guys that they want to develop, go to work with everyday, and share long term success with, instead of just use and abuse so they can keep their jobs.
Was Brad talking about Isaiah Williams when he referred to a WR trying to win a spot? Interesting knowing what we know now. No hate as we were able to get him anyway just very interesting.
He is going to play... some guys take time... look at Iffy... we were all ready to get rid of him before the start of last year, I didn't think he would make the team.
Its gonna alot tougher this season tho Everybody got better in the conference Ohhhhh Boy I still say Miller should've kicked those field goals That wasn't a regular season game we was playing to go to the SUPERBOWL ... But well see this season
Stare at the 89 on the jersey. Stare at it some more. The 8 has an actual right side up, the top is slightly smaller than the bottom half, fine, no problem. The top hole in the eight is slightly smaller than the hole in the bottom part of the 8, you can see that the font they used has right side up. The 9 is taller on the top instead of the bottom. The 9 is an upside down 6, although that's always true as a general rule of thumb, the font they used would have an actual 9 but they didn't use it. I'm blaming Rod Wood. ;P
As a PATS fan I am in awe of your draft this year...good for the Lions, their fans and the City of Detroit...keep up the strong work....respect.
Good luck this year brother. Good looks
Thank you homie, pulling for Maye’s success
I wish all fans had this ethic. Thanks man hope you have a good year too
Hope Maye works out for y'all thanks for respect it's been a long time coming for us Lions fans excited for the season for us and a whole

I love how Brad teaches as he talks. He gives you a legitimate and logical reasoning behind every decision made.
Yeah! You're right. Don't think I've given him enough credit for this. It's never excuses or some bullshit. He gives you straight up answers. I love this man
Him and Dan both do that. It’s so fun just to listen to both of them talk because I feel like I learn more about coaching and roster building in the NFL every time.
Never thought of that before but you are 100% right! He can DO and TEACH!! Love our GM!!
And imo, he speaks better than any other team representative, explaining their views and reasoning. So good at breaking it down.
Brad is the man and I love how he works hand in hand with Dan “the man” Campbell. I just don’t have words for the joy I feel about our staff and team I’ve waited 54 years for this moment
That's my GM. In Holmes I Trust.
💪🦁💙
FULL TRUST IN BRAD. Lets go Lions
This turnaround was rapid because of Brad's stellar drafting
And biting kneecaps lmao
Profound ….
And he was hired (as well as HC Campbell) *because of Shiela's humility & her hiring of CEO Spielman!*
What Brad does best is ignore the outside. He's not just going away from the norm and bucking status quo, he's creating the new normal everyone is or will try to emulate.
Ehhh. It was a really long slow turn around that everyone seems to think just happened with Holmes. Quinn laid the ground work for the new OL with glasgow, ragnow, decker, and Jackson

Thank You for all you do Brad Holmes 💯 let's go Lions 🦁🤟🏼
Thanks for putting us in the conversation Brad, this turn around has been so much fun to watch unfold! Can't wait for the season to start!
Lion's are going to be hard to beat next year 💪
Next couple of years*
@@bigperm079 Next several years, especially the next few years!
It’s truly surreal to watch what this team has accomplished with Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell. Thank you thank you!!!
Love how transparent he is without trying to give too much info. Much love to our GM! 💙🦁
The Lions has the best fans ever
One pride 💪
Ty
Manu is a great pick. We may not see him for a couple years but his potential is off the charts.
Two years ago we were the worst against the run last year one of the worst against the pass; keeping out of the super bowl and the championship, problem solved. We got other players for depth and the future. To the people doubting Brad, I hear the is another draft next year. We are not an all in team but building something to last
This dude is different! I love this team!
.. Great job Guys .. you strengthened the Team in Areas that you needed to .. keep up the good work .
I’m loving how the Honolulu Blue & Silver “pop” on the black alternate jersey. Detroit Lions FTW 🙌!
Dude is ELITE as a GM. Period. I would never question anything this man does after that 1st draft he had in Detroit getting Penei and Amon and the rest of the picks he’s made.
And last year. He got penned for it but ended up with 3 stud starters in Gibbs, Laporta and Branch
To all the football fans around the country big thanks to all of you for helping us break the attendance record over 700,000 ppl . Hope the country gotta feel for Detroit and its Hospitality. We appreciate all of you!
Brad putting that dumb reporter in his place for saying he is short handed is why I love this guy. Smartest dude in the room always
There is a reason he is in charge and we are watching.
They gave up 4 picks to draft 2 guys in the fourth round… Questionable at best
Seems a bit desperate really
@@dillonrostorfer202 quite the opposite. You can’t draft all these players just to be potentially cut. We are at the point where we can draft for certain players and be okay with it
@@dillonrostorfer202they got the guys they want. Plain and simple
Giving up a 3rd for our starting RT of the future is a steal.
No it’s not really.
Thus fanbase needs to learn most lines are composed of 3rd-5th rounders,
Fans just want a first at every position.
Next year in Green Bay, they will be lucky to get half the crowd of Detroit.
It will take a lot of Winnebagos to house that many people 😊

Final pieces of the Lions Dynasty - Drafted in Detroit.

Die hard fan and this is so exciting to see . Super Bowl this year folks.
diff between good and great gms is brad for sure
Dude rushed for 160 yards vs usc as a safety and a fill in HB.
I gave a thumbs up and I am happy with the pick, too, and always excited about guys that are freak athletes......but I do have to respond to your post...in a truly non-snarky way....by saying that USC didn't even play defense this year......so even hacks like you and I might have been able to put up a 100 on them.
He also hits like Ronnie Lott.
Not hating but you could've ran for 160 on usc defence last year...😂

Could listen to this guy talk forever…
Jamo about to break out with all his Bama boys!
What a wonderful competent man…. He, Dan Campbell, and Mrs. Ford are the heart and soul of that organization.
Don't forget Chris Spielman
The black and blue division.... Go Lions.
All but one draft pick by Brad Holmes, since he’s been the Lions GM is still on the team.
Who left?
@@detroitjerm Chase Lucas was purged by San Fran
knew they'd trade up again today just didn't know how many times lol
Best Lions GM ever hands down
Top 3 in the nfl right now
Well done! Tough draft this year with picking later and I just don’t think there were a lot of standout stars! Very good! A- in my book
Dude is by far the most engaging, best GM in the game, period
Brad's beard game is top-notch, bois

Brad Holmes deserves his own jersey and number. This guy is incredible
The 🦁🦁 up graded their CB ROOM big time and their defense last year was top 3 against run, Go 🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁
CM needs serious weight room work and he is gold. He has the skills just not the strength quite yet
So exciting. Can’t wait to see how these new pieces fit in
Excellent job sir

Brad Holmes is one of the best at drafting I’ve ever seen!
He been doing this for a long time he’s the reason for the rams success
Loved the war room all repping the black #89 Dan Campbell jerseys
Hats off to the city. Dominated. Not surprised.
I was getting bummed that we gave up so many picks, but I like the attitude of getting players we are committed on.
Pretty soon we won't have any roster spots. Guys will start getting plucked off the practice squad. I was begging to give up capital to go get guys he really wanted
How soon will the 89 Dan Campbell jerseys be available?
Jersey looks sweet
I have a hutch one, the silver is super shiny and the black is crisp for sure. They did a great job
Great job Brad and Dan
He got the hell out there before they asked about the Goff extension talks Haha!
First two picks are starters this year. Mayne not #1 but they will play. Not sure about the projects we took on. Playing a dangerous game with projects and judging potential without great tape vs good opponets

LoL... You're concerned about a 6'7, 350lb, monster that runs a 4.9, 40 yrd dash. On top of that he's Polynesian n played basketball, very athletic
I just want a T-Shirt that says "Let Brad Cook" in Honolulu Blue.
I love how Brad explains his picks. I’m going to be sad the day he retires.
IN HOLMES WE TRUST
That is the #1 person in the Lions organization right there.
Brad is stacking real football players!! I wouldn't want to play poker against him!!
These Lions show the difference between drafting in Madden vs real life. They aren’t the Lions of old that seemingly got hypnotized by ratings and numbers. They select guys that they want to develop, go to work with everyday, and share long term success with, instead of just use and abuse so they can keep their jobs.
I've posted many times about how great the Lion's media team has become. So, FIX THE MIC PROBLEM. It's even more annoying than ALL CAPSI!
In Brad we Trust
Brad you da man!
Brad is really not afraid to call Dave Birkett out. He kept receipts on him. :) Birkett is a good reporter though.
Someone redo the Weetus song. "I'm just a Detroit Lions dirt bag, baby!"
Was Brad talking about Isaiah Williams when he referred to a WR trying to win a spot? Interesting knowing what we know now. No hate as we were able to get him anyway just very interesting.
Tomorrow he's going to be arrested for grand larceny of the 2024 NFL draft.
GO LIONS!!
Those black jersey's look so damn good
It's so weird to be able to talk about the Lions like this.
Love the Jerseys
Broderic Martin going to play this year?
Probably not after the reader signing, they play the exact same position. He will learn under DJ
He better play.... traded away 3 picks to get his bum ass
@coreyb1110 ya that was/is a shocker
He is going to play... some guys take time... look at Iffy... we were all ready to get rid of him before the start of last year, I didn't think he would make the team.
Holmes makes it right!
Let Brad cook! 🔥
Which reporter got taken to task for the "short-handed" comment?
Probably #1 asshat, Carlos.
Brad's making that black jersey look good.
Austin Reed(WKU) would be a great acquisition to the Qb room
You guys gotta fix the mic!
The mic is fine. I heard everything clear as could be on a Samsung.
Super Bowl!!!🎉🎉🎉
My ONLY critique is that we don’t have a 3rd and 4th rounder next yr.
We had 2 4ths next year... so there's that
@@lyininsider824 good to know!!
Its gonna alot tougher this season tho Everybody got better in the conference Ohhhhh Boy I still say Miller should've kicked those field goals That wasn't a regular season game we was playing to go to the SUPERBOWL ... But well see this season
We need him to find the next John Randle from the UDFA pool.
We got him in the 6th round.
Nobody asked about the J. Goff situation. Where is he at on his extension?
Don’t get me wrong Brad is the best but his “ya know “ over and under is at 100
What position does this brad guy play
Get better each year
Brad always saying he can’t believe players still be there!! Lol
Brad killed it. I think all we need is maybe a WR, and a DE for depth.
Tyler Boyd still a FA
Lets go 🎉
My GM
Good things CJGJ left as he would not of made the team
Lol. The draft plan might have been different if he signed a LTD.
I was all set to buy a new home jersey, but after seeing the alternate jersey I'm not sure which one to get.
🤔🦁
Get both 😎
Get both, I did..St Brown in black, Branch in blue.
Stare at the 89 on the jersey.
Stare at it some more.
The 8 has an actual right side up, the top is slightly smaller than the bottom half, fine, no problem. The top hole in the eight is slightly smaller than the hole in the bottom part of the 8, you can see that the font they used has right side up.
The 9 is taller on the top instead of the bottom. The 9 is an upside down 6, although that's always true as a general rule of thumb, the font they used would have an actual 9 but they didn't use it.
I'm blaming Rod Wood. ;P
The crazy part is if you let just lions fans in. It would be the same!!!
Holmes and Campbell get high character, high motor dogs.
