One prominent NFL analyst is giving Brad Holmes high marks for how he's handled the draft in his first two seasons as Detroit Lions general manager.
"I’d give him an A, a solid A," ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. said in a conference call Wednesday. "You could go A-plus."
Holmes inherited a Lions team coming off three straight last-place finishes in the NFC North in 2021 and, after trading starting quarterback Matthew Stafford to the Los Angeles Rams in one of his first acts as GM, has built the franchise into one of the leading contenders in the NFC entering his third season.
