Discussion: What was the Lions’ worst draft pick under Brad Holmes?

On Saturday, we talked about the best Detroit Lions draft picks under general manager Brad Holmes. It was a difficult conversation to have, because there are so many great answers. I landed on Amon-Ra St. Brown based on talent and what round he was taken (fourth), but plenty of you made strong cases for Penei Sewell, Aidan Hutchinson, Jahmyr Gibbs, Kerby Joseph, and Alim McNeill.

Today, we have another difficult decision, but for the opposite reason. Every general manager misses, but those misses have been elusive for Holmes. Of his 16 Day 1 or Day 2 picks, 15 remain on the team (Ifeatu Melifonwu is the lone “miss), five have already received extensions (with at least another two to join them shorty).
