Arms 32-33" … is the writer suggesting that if Brad finds a DL with 33.5" arms that he won’t draft him?

Hutch is 6’7". How’d he get drafted? John Cominsky is 6’5"…can’t believe he claimed and then resigned a guy who is outside of 6’1" - 6’3". Broderic Martin is 6’5"…oops, someone better tell Brad Holmes he keeps adding guys who are outside of his target range.

It’s almost like, they just want guys who fit their mold of FBI and intangibles and let the measurements work themselves out. This article is nonsense. But hey, nothing new for Lions Wire.

Imagine trying to do a data analysis piece and botching it this bad.

What about 34 3/8" arms like BroMart?

We can’t draft Verse either he’s too fast for our parameters.

Dude, this guy is a â– â– â– â– â– â– â–  idiot.

Height

  • 5’11” to 6’0 1/2″

JACK CAMPBELL IS ■■■■■■■ 6’5"

How do these people get jobs? It’s embarrassing.

I think Brad has his NTs. I mean we have 3 guys that can play there Benito, BroMart(if you believe he’ll be much more developed), and McNeil who can play both NT and 3T.

I think Brad is definitely looking for a balanced pass rusher/run defender at the 3T. Not sure if he’s looking for a Kancey type who can rush the passer, but get bulldozed in the run game.

I don’t know just guessing lol

So here are some of the DLine that the Lions have meant with at the combine.

  • EDGE Nelson Caesar, Houston (source) — Formal @ Combine
  • EDGE Marshawn Kneeland, WMU (source) — Formal @ Combine
  • EDGE Darius Robinson, Missouri (source) — Formal @ Combine
  • EDGE Bralen Trice, Washington (source) — Formal @ Combine

The one constant for all the DTs Holmes has drafted is explosion off the line. Thats basically what he looks for

Oops, he forgot to update his spreadsheet after they picked Rodrigo. lol.

Just a stupid article - weight 260-290?

Bromart, McNeil, Levi may have been on the fringe, Pascal also, but even pigeonholing a DT into a sub 300 range is ridiculous.

Houston?

He set the conditions to make it the local school player is only one left. LOL It easy to see he never looked at roster or past Holmes drafts just a wish article

Years ago Taylor Swift was interested in dating Brad Holmes. Brad said “elbows too pointy. No thanks, brah.”
