DETROIT -- The Detroit Lions have employed a distinct strategy over the past three NFL drafts.

It's one that has allowed the franchise to land five Pro Bowl players (Penei Sewell, Aidan Hutchinson, Jahmyr Gibbs, Amon-Ra St. Brown and Sam LaPorta) in that span, with Sewell -- the seventh overall pick in 2021 -- and St. Brown -- a fourth-round selection in 2021 -- also earning first-team AP All-Pro honors for the 2023 season.

This year, Detroit holds the 29th overall pick, and Lions general manager Brad Holmes and coach Dan Campbell say they have no plans to change their approach -- regardless of team needs.
