Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones (Raj Mehta-USA TODAY Sports) We all know that at some point in this upcoming 2021 NFL Draft Detroit Lions general manager, Brad Holmes, is going to draft a wide receiver. The question is, “What does he look for?” In this article, we’ll look at players previously drafted by Holmes

The seventh pick of the 2021 NFL draft has “extreme value,” its owner, Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes, said this week. Holmes has the enviable task of trying to extract maximum value out of that pick, either by using it to nab a cornerstone for the Lions’ rebuild or by dealing it to acquire
Ah, the 2021 NFL draft. It’s almost here. Can’t wait, right? Which player will the Detroit Lions draft with the No. 7 pick? Will they go offense or defense? Will they trade back? To quote “Jeopardy!” host Aaron Rodgers, it’s a beautiful mystery. That’s why we love it, especially in Detroit, where the excitement and

For more than a decade, the position of quarterback for the Detroit Lions was never in question with longtime starter Matthew Stafford cemented under center. That changed this offseason with the blockbuster trade of Stafford to the Los Angeles Rams. In exchange for Stafford, the Lions obtained three high draft picks including two future first-rounders

Brad Holmes has “a good cluster” of players he would feel comfortable drafting at No. 7, but mathematically speaking, it’s anyone’s guess how many prospects that cluster entails. Trevor Lawrence, clearly, is the top player in this draft, and the Detroit Lions are believed to have eyes for LSU receiver Ja’Marr Chase. Presumably, Holmes would
After months of mock drafts, pro days and anonymous sources contradicting each other, we’ve finally reached the week of the NFL Draft. In the weeks leading up to the event, we’ve seen a pair of trades shake up the top of the first round, while the Detroit Lions have continued to hold tight at No.
Todd McShay, ESPN (Photo by Ben Queen-USA TODAY Sports) The Detroit Lions and the rest of the league are less than a week away from the 2021 NFL draft. Here are the results of my annual first and last mock draft. Guys like Daniel Jeremiah, Todd McShay, and Mel Kiper Jr saturate the world with
The Detroit Lions are on the clock. Well … they’re six picks away from being on the clock, with the No. 7 overall pick in this year’s NFL draft, which begins Thursday in Cleveland. It’s the franchise’s third straight year drafting in the top 10, after a run of four years drafting in the 11-20
The way NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah sees it, the greatest offseason of quarterback movement in NFL history actually took root two years ago when the Arizona Cardinals hired a newly-deposed college coach amid a growing appetite for risk in the league’s easy-to-manipulate economic system. With new coach Kliff Kingsbury at the helm following his

Ford Field, Detroit Lions (Photo by Nic Antaya/Getty Images) By this point a year ago, Detroit Lions fans had a pretty clear sense of which direction the team would go with the third overall pick. While the pipe dream for many was that Washington would pass on Chase Young (they didn’t), nearly every mock draft
Michigan football had 10 players taken in the 2020 NFL draft — one short of tying a program record. The Wolverines likely won’t have as many players selected in this week’s draft. But there are still several players with a very good chance of hearing their name called at some point between Thursday and Saturday
Brad Holmes was given a blank slate when hired as Detroit Lions general manager in January, a canvas to create a team in the image he wants. That is a big reason why I see this as a position-less draft for the Lions. Holmes does not have to draft to fill needs because he has
Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes held his pre-draft news conference Friday and, since he was speaking with a bunch of reporters, he must have felt it would be helpful to use a word of the day. And that word was “cluster.” As in Holmes thinks there’s a cluster of very good players that gives
Bob Quinn drafted from his basement last spring, with a Winnebago parked in his driveway and his two kids helping to keep his draft board in order. Brad Holmes will be back in the Detroit Lions‘ Allen Park practice facility next week, with a more familiar setup even if things aren’t quite back to normal
Brad Holmes was talking about what a cluster it might be next week when the Lions are on the clock in the first round of the NFL draft. But all jokes aside, that’s the good news. Really, it is. Because as Holmes, the Lions’ first-year general manager, went on to explain in Friday’s pre-draft press
When it comes to selecting in the top 10, the Detroit Lions haven’t always followed conventional wisdom. That includes a stretch of five years where the team drafted four wide receivers. Also, in the past decade, the Lions are the only franchise to draft a tight end that early, doing so twice. And last year,
