When we last checked in with the approval rating of Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes, he was about to embark on the most important offseason of his young GM career. With a decent amount of resources in both free agency and the NFL Draft, Holmes promised this would be the “talent acquisition phase” that could take this team’s roster to a new level.
Two months later, we have seen the fruits of his labor. Though the free agency period was far more conservative than most expected, the same cannot be said of Holmes’ draft strategy.
