Day 3 has been Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes’ best. In the past two drafts, he’s found big contributors in Amon-Ra St. Brown, James Houston, Malcolm Rodriguez, and Derrick Barnes.
He may have to do more with less this year. After a flurry of Day 2 trades, Holmes and the Lions find themselves with just two selections on Day 2 — tied for the fewest of any other NFL team. Their Day 3 selections:
- Round 5, Pick 152 overall
- Round 7, Pick 249 overall
That said, Holmes has been wheeling and dealing all weekend, and I don’t expect that to stop now.
