There are a few critics of the draft picks here in Detroit. They already had a good back, and signed another good back, so why draft Gibbs. It's been seen as a wasted or unneeded pick. Anyone who follows Detroit football knew that it was their defense that cost them games and a playoff berth. I think they should have drafted the best D Lineman available. I think the critics are right here.
The linebacker pick has some supporters but critics have said that he'd be available later on. I don't know but in this case I'd have to say that it was a very good pick for Detroit.
Holmes, like McVay, doesn't walk on water.
