Holmes signals a cautious Lions draft with age concerns and a changed pre-draft plan

Detroit Lions GM Brad Holmes gave non-committal, guarded answers in his pre-draft remarks, leaving room for interpretation about roster needs. He downplayed clear gaps at tackle and edge while noting that you can never have enough offensive tackles. He also acknowledged NIL-driven aging of draft prospects, citing potential implications for older players (e.g., 25-year-olds) and revealed changes to his approach this year, including scrapping the local pro day and skipping owners meetings. A PODcast recaps these points and discusses other prospects beyond OT/EDGE as the draft nears.
