In the recent NFL draft, the Detroit Lions, guided by Brad Holmes, strategically focused on strengthening their defense by acquiring top cornerback talents from Tuscaloosa. Holmes, recognizing the team's urgent need for defensive prowess against formidable offenses, traded up to secure what was potentially the top cornerback on their draft board, using pick No. 73. Additionally, the Lions managed to secure another starting-caliber cornerback, effectively addressing their two top needs and enhancing their defensive lineup. Notably, Holmes had already added two corners in March, further solidifying the team's defensive strategy.
Did the Lions possibly, maybe, somehow get the top two cornerbacks in the draft? According to Brad Holmes' rankings, they did. Gotta load up to stop those wide-open offenses. https://t.co/PFyTsugfZz

Had to imagine that corner and interior o-line would be the two top needs in the #Lions draft room coming into tonight. Brad Holmes gives up pick No. 73 to take what may have been the top CB on their board. Another year, another player out of Tuscaloosa coming to Allen Park. https://t.co/xrzIyt0hUK
