Let’s operate on Detroit Lions GM Brad Holmes' premise.
NFL teams have so much more knowledge than the general public and the media on draft prospects.
Therefore decision-makers on personnel such as himself are more or less beyond reproach when it comes to their picks.
Actually, Brad Holmes, it only makes executives lookmorepathetic for how often they fuck up the draft.
That’s the TLDR version.
Jahmyr Gibbs may be the next great pass-catching running back.
Jack Campbell is a freaky athlete with the hard-nosed demeanor Detroit covets.
HOWEVER, there’s a reason so many outsiders had the reaction they did to the Lions' draft.
And heyyyyyyyy, Braddy Holmesy?
How do you think yougotyour GM gig in the first place?
Look at how much good having"ALL THE INFORMATION"did for Holmes' predecessor Bob Quinn.
Most GMs are obsessed with having “their” in place.
They will overhaul the roster as they see fit.
Talk about a stone-cold killer.
and sent them packing.
I’m not saying any of the decisions were wrong.
This is more about the egos at play.
You have to give credit to Holmes for what he’s done so far during his Detroit tenure.
I can’t imagine how that could possibly go wrong for such a paragon of organizational excellence.
The electrifying playmaker was coming off a torn ACL.
That didn’t stop Holmes.
About a week before this year’s draft, this happened:
FFS, Brad Holmes.
I’m being facetious with this, by the way.
I still believe in Jameson Williams' potential and there are farworsemistakes he could’ve made.
Chalk this up to immature stupidity than any sort of moral red flag.
I guess it was just blind, pure dumb luck.
Again, my stupid self is operating without anythingcloseto the full picture.
Maybe Brad Holmes should work smarter, not harder.
Does he still write out scouting reports by hand?
You have to wonder.
The NFL Draft is one of the most impossible things to predict in all of sports.
This year’s event had a record 43 freaking trades.
How out of touch, insulated and surrounded by yes men is this guy?
More information about the draft and prospects is out there than ever.
Some folks literally make covering the NFL Draft their full-time job.
Certain media members have privileged access to officially sanctioned film.
Hey Holmes, you knowwhythe draft is such a big deal these days?
Bad take all around, Brad Holmes.
Miss me with this bullshit.
You couldn’t possibly come off worse.
