Holmes would prefer to not be swayed by “needs” when making respective picks.

The former Rams director of college scouting revealed at his year’s owners meetings that he’s seen other teams do that without having as much success as they should have.

Holmes has only ever worked for the Rams before being hired by the Lions.

“I just think you can make a lot of mistakes with that,” Holmes said. “I’ve been in regimes in the past that have had a depth chart in the draft room, and I’ve just never been a fan of that.”
.

Not by design - when you F them picks--you have to fill in areas . . . when you go BPA
it means you're pretty solid all around





Now with the Lions he could go BPA because they had nothing, any pick he got filled
a need, outside of QB

Let's see what happens after he's been on the job a while and realities hit
