Brad Holmes, general manager of the Detroit Lions, has built a reputation for making bold moves on NFL Draft night. During his annual pre-draft press conference, Holmes gave fans an inside look at the Lions’ aggressive approach, revealing that the team’s ambitious trade to land Jameson Williams in 2022 was not an isolated incident.
Holmes discussed how the Lions had attempted to pull off similar moves in other drafts, explaining that the team is always prepared to trade for the right player when the opportunity arises. While he didn’t go into specifics about potential trade targets or teams, Holmes acknowledged that making trades requires cooperation from both sides, and sometimes other teams are hesitant to move too far back in the draft.
