For the first time in general manager Brad Holmes’ time with the Detroit Lions, his team will not be entering the draft with a ton of capital. After finishing the season in the final four and trading away one of his third-round picks, the Lions are left with just a total of just seven picks, and only three in the top 150.
Not only does that lower the overall expectation for Holmes’ draft haul this year, but it also could hamstring the team’s ability to maneuver their positions in the 2024 NFL Draft.
That is, unless Holmes would be willing to jump into future draft picks.
