Bottom Line: Brad Holmes did what he believed was best
Only time will tell how this class pans out, but there is no question about it that Lions GM Brad Holmes is not afraid to make the picks that he believes in. He trusts himself, and he trusts his staff, and up to this point, that strategy has paid off. Let’s hope it continues with the Class of 2023
