Holmes: Lions’ 2026 Draft Centers on ‘Football Players’ Who Fit the Team Identity

Lions GM Brad Holmes said the 2026 draft emphasized gritty football players who fit Detroit’s identity, with Day 3 selections adding depth and competition as the team aimed to rebound after missing the playoffs. He cited five Day 3 picks—Jimmy Rolder, Keith Abney II, Kendrick Law, Skyler Gill-Howard and Tyre West—as complete fits and potential contributors. Holmes also expects first‑round tackle Blake Miller and second‑round edge Derrick Moore to make immediate impacts, noted Law’s multi‑role potential beyond the gadget label, and explained there was no safety selected because the available class didn’t line up as deeply and safeties Kerby Joseph and Brian Branch are still rehabbing from injuries.
