The Detroit Lions’ fourth NFL Draft under general manager Brad Holmes and head coach Dan Campbell was the most different of the previous three. The first year, the front office needed to make some big moves to set the standard and they did, drafting Penei Sewell in the first round, the first piece of their foundation. In 2022, the team continued getting foundational pieces by drafting two first-round picks, Aidan Hutchinson and Jameson Williams. In 2023, despite an improvement in their record, the team still had two first-round picks and they made them count in Jahmyr Gibbs and Jack Campbell.
