It all starts with the linemen & I hope they would go with Defensive End first! More Edge Rushers! -> like a home-town guy = Darius Robinson and then Offensive line too, (Zack Fraiser would be good! & Zack Zinner too) GO LIONS!

I was raised a Lions fan and I chose to be a fan when we drafted Joey Harrington. I realize you can't share secrets, I have run two businesses myself.

    "It seems that you like to go to certain universities or colleges for a certain pedigree of players in the past few drafts. Do you think that will change with head coaches like Nick Saban retiring, or Harbaugh moving to the NFL?"

    However, it doesn't mean I agree with Brad Holmes, I would rather get a guy through free agency or the draft that has proven to be durable.

    His whole logic about players that have been injured has one major problem. If a player has had a more injuries, they are more likely to reinjure or have more injuries moving forward. No guarantees or anything, but the flat probability of more injuries or reinjuring go up. That should be more of a factor. We DO seem to sign guys that have a history of significant injuries for deals. Why is he always so defensive?

    • @Jonathan-cz4ky
      @Jonathan-cz4ky Місяць тому

      Because it’s constantly brought up as if he hasn’t rationalized that very obvious fact. As he quite literally pointed out YES if he’s seeing guys who’ve consistently missed a bulk of time he’s going to take that into account with the roster construction. But he isn’t grabbing a player thinking he’s not going to play the bulk of the season or in the playoffs. This isn’t difficult to understand.

      @mikeromano8140 Місяць тому +1

      @@Jonathan-cz4ky Reader, Mosely, Onziwurke, others. These aren't guys that have just missed a couple games. I'm saying his explanation doesn't account for the added risk of these types of players. This isn't hard to understand.

    • @Jonathan-cz4ky
      @Jonathan-cz4ky Місяць тому +1

      It does as I already explained in laymen's terms actually. First of all, not all of the people you mentioned were known to consistently miss bulks of a season. Levi missed 1 season in college, and got unlucky with his back injury. Still played this past year. Reader has only 1 season where he's played less than 10 games, otherwise he's normally playing 14 plus games a year. Mosely has been put on IR 4 times now, which is why they're still looking at cornerback even though he's signed.
      The overwhelming majority of our players do not have that sort of history, and there's a balancing act with that. I mean this should be common sense. What do you think team depth is for exactly? And are you supposed to just grab a body just because they have a better injury history, that make sense to you? @@mikeromano8140

    Never play the drinking game where during a Brad Holmes presser where you take a drink everytime BH says the word "process". Its dangerous.
