Realistically, before we can be speculating on the draft, we will have to see how free agency shakes out and who the Lions send packing. Then again there is the "Holmes" factor where he is often looking at things apart from what most people are looking it or think that the Lions should do. I think there are going to be more holes to plug especially in the secondary with all the injuries. I would expect the "D" to get the most attention.
You’re not wrong, but that doesn’t preclude us from beginning to look 🙂. I agree on it being a defense heavy draft too. Not saying no offense; probably oline twice, but I don’t expect offensive skill players except maybe a TE.
