For the first time since the Brad Holmes-Dan Campbell era began, the Detroit Lions roster has zero ties to the old regime. It’s all their guys now — and this team might be the most talented in the NFL.
Draft analyst Russell Brown joined the Heavyweights to dissect every Lions pick, and the verdict is clear: Brad Holmes did it again. From the plug-and-play right tackle Blake Miller to sleeper UDFA Eric Wright, Detroit added competition and talent across the board.

Brad Holmes isn’t spinning Jameson Williams’ slow start anymore — he’s flat-out calling it a good thing. The Lions GM says J-Mo’s two years of injuries and suspensions led to ‘tremendous growth,’ and now Detroit’s about to cash in.

In 2021, the Detroit Lions welcomed General Manager Brad Holmes and Head Coach Dan Campbell, tasking them with revitalizing a franchise plagued by decades of underperformance. That same year, Holmes selected Oregon offensive lineman Penei Sewell with the seventh overall pick in the NFL Draft. Further enhancing their roster, Holmes found a gem in the…
