sad news: Detroit Lions current head coach have just announced his departure for…
INDIANAPOLIS—”The position that we’re in, it is exciting to have that flexibility because a lot of things can happen when you’re sitting back there,” Holmes remarked. “It’s kind of like, look man, this is find the best football player, and you’re kind of out of the top 10 beauty pageants, you know. You’re not trying to paint this as pressure.” The Lions will currently have seven picks in the 2024 draft, with two in the third round and none in the fourth. the general manager of the Detroit Lions, is not in the slightest satisfied with the team’s current success, despite the fact that the Lions are enjoying their best season and are in the running for a championship more than they have in the previous three decades. Holmes also has no plans to alter the formula that has been so successful in elevating the team from the bottom to the contender ranks.
“I firmly believe in letting the process handle the results,” Holmes declared on Tuesday at the scouting combine. As a result, the procedure will always be the first. I believe that you might say that you should let up on the gas and run the risk of getting into serious problems once you begin to kind of revel in your accomplishments. Therefore, I do believe that it is impossible to ever ease off the gas in this league. I have repeatedly stated that regardless of how fantastic our roster gets or how good we become as a club, we will always follow the same procedure and keep pushing forward to get better as much as we can.
The only difference these days is the Lions aren’t picking as high as they once did, which is perhaps the one downside to the on-field success. Still, Holmes sees some value in having some flexibility with the Lions holding the 29th overall selection in the 2024 NFL draft — two years after they had to use the No. 2 overall pick (which they used on Aidan Hutchinson). Head coach Dan Campbell made this clear in his own media session earlier on Tuesday.Having moved up and down the board to select one of the league’s best draft classes last year, which included running back Jahmyr Gibbs, linebacker Jack Campbell, tight end Sam LaPorta, safety Brian Branch, and quarterback Hendon Hooker, Holmes can only hope to replicate that success this time around.”The position that we’re in, it is exciting to have that flexibility because a lot of things can happen when you’re sitting back there,” Holmes remarked. “It’s kind of like, look man, this is find the best football player, and you’re kind of out of the top 10 beauty pageants, you know. You’re not trying to paint this as pressure.” The Lions will currently have seven picks in the 2024 draft, with two in the third round and none in the fourth.
