Brad Holmes doesn't care if you want an EDGE

The draft is deep there , a aspect I haven’t looked at, I keep questioning why , and that may be a good reason.

Cause he knows what is going. We don’t!
By mid season, everyone is going to love how our draft turned out, and Brad will be in the mix for GM of the year, again.
Don’t say shit out of anger that will make you look and feel silly in October.

I can’t believe Holmes said at some point the draft gets dried up, yesterday??? Comment doesn’t make sense to me

Z is washed up imo. If Hutch goes down, we’re f’cked

It’s Brads way of saying

Z Smith-
Davenport-
Paschal-
Muhammad-

Not many guys taken after #50 at DE will have better careers or be as good as the players listed above.

Z is not washed up. He has a 74 rating and 9 sacks last year. I doubt more than 2 edges in this entire class do that in 2025

This seemed incredible to me, so I started looking for other teams where this is true. Surprisingly, its not that unusual. I looked at the first 16 teams alphabetically (Arizona through Kansas City), and four others have every player from the last four years still in the league. Atlanta, Cleveland, Dallas, Houston. Since I only looked at 16 teams, there’s likely others.

Plus, you have to look at the whole.
Hutch, Alim, Reader, Z, is a great Dline. Now, start subbing.
We won 15 games with this unit, last season.

Yes if we lose Hutch again to a season ending injury we are screwed. But that’s pretty much true of any team that loses a guy who was heading towards DPOY honors.

Did we sign Z ? Because I missed that too

It’s not October I’m worried about, we will be fine then, it’s late January and February that it might effect us.

Tomorrow has enough worries of it’s own.
Hell, every guy we drafted could be injured by October.
Yellow Stone could blow any second.
WWIII could be starting.
But, probably not.
Relax.

Remind us again the careers that Pashal and Mohammad have had thus far?

Still we are not understanding how kc and philly won with pure pass rush ,adding another receiver is not going fix it unless their plan is to have jamo traded for tibodaux from giants

Literally perfect.

Bluntly? The beat writers suck. You have justij rogers who studies Brad’s drafts and is the best and understanding what he is doing and then you have a bunch of really unintelligent people who are more worried about being able to say “i told you so”…so brad has told the beat guys for years what he is about and how he works. Go listen to the tessla interview…how many times can you ask the same stupid question 4 years running? The lions beat intentionally sucks…and then you have hacks like payton who started a jamo trade clockbait drama based on REDDIT. There like one or two beat guys who are good…rest suck. They have daily access to brad and ask the same stupid questions…the contempt for them is real. Rogers talks about it, risdon talks about…guys who were local and national talk about it. It’a a microcosm of the sanders talk on a national level “why is he dropping? What is going on?” Gotta save face bc u said he was a top 5 talent…reality is he is an average qb with no elite traits, a headache for a dad and a HUGE entitled diva complex…its not really a surprise he fell…but they create narratives ans cling to them no matter what.

So what? We lost a game.

We literally just drafted the guy with plus athleticism, great character, and he had 22 sacks and 33 TFL in D1 the last 2 years.

Which other player did that?

APR
A Carter
JTT
James Pearce
Mike Green

That’s the group the our guy Husseinens production rivals.
