Lions general manager Brad Holmes has built a dominant contender in Detroit. His goal with the draft looming less than a week away is to keep it that way, making sure to avoid the pitfall of valuing immediate needs over landing the best players.

Lions GM Brad Holmes wants people to "get your popcorn ready," and prepare for the unknown at the NFL Draft. "When you go to see a movie — you’ve never seen the movie. That’s the excitement," Holmes said.

The Detroit Lions are aiming to make a smart, calculated draft to strengthen their roster ahead of the upcoming NFL season — but GM Brad Holmes knows there’s no room for rushed decisions. The Detroit Lions’ impressive run last NFL season means they won’t be drafting from a top spot this year.
