Draft Eve.

You know, Mike is, I think his, his disapproval, to put it lightly, of Brad Holmes, has reached a point where I think it's clouding his view.

Or I shouldn't say, I think, I hope it's clouding his view.

Because if you missed it, I know normally we're talking to Mike's Bath this time inside the huddle.

He was on, had to be on an hour early, had a work conflict. So he was gracious enough to

move up and come on with us in the 7 o'clock hour. But toward the end, we talked about the

NFL draft coming up tomorrow. This is a pivotal draft for the Detroit Lions when it comes to contention.

Will they be a playoff team? If they don't nail the draft, I think it's possible.

I mean, the row is much tougher at a hoe now. But, you know, you could see them a healthy

A.N. Hutchinson and a healthy aline mcneal for the full

season even with the question marks they now have behind them you could see i'm talking about

safety you could see any a corner too for that matter um you can really see them um you know get back to

be in a playoff team but not contending unless unless unless they address the needs the biggest

needs that they have on this team in this draft in an effective way.

Offensive tackle, defensive end, and with guys who are dudes.

Put all that pressure on themselves with the free agency passivity, in my opinion.

That's how I classify it.

Now, Mike towards the end said, you know what?

You can't look at the NFL draft for the Detroit Lions under Brad Holmes

and think that need has a direct relationship with their strategy.

There almost has to be a, you know, sort of a counter.
