Detroit has brought in talent before same old story. There whole roster is based on drafting and they do it every year near the top. There roster turnover is ridiculous they can't keep the players they draft because they almost always want to leave. They get very few free agents and rely on rookies every year. This formula doesn't work out to well for them. Look at the two most recent decorated lions hall of famers Barry Sanders and Calvin Johnson they aren't too happy with Detroit Lions Organization. It's a complete mess of mismanagement from the owners down. Brad Holmes will fail just like everyone else before him because no one wants to play for the Lions and their management. Homes could do a great job and draft guys like Stafford, Johnson, Suh, but the team will fail until they get the Fords out of ownership and they bring in an owner that wants a winner.
