Lions sign DL Roy Lopez - 1yr/4.65m

Unless it’s Zeitler I don’t see Holmes bringing in a starting level IOL from outside the organization.
I think they have a lot of belief in Mahogany and trust in Glasgow. They have also invested in developing a lot of IOL in the likes of Niese, Kayode, Muti, Eguakun, and Sorsdal.

Just as long as they move Graham back to RG if that’s the plan.

No that’s totally separate and in the books as the last third rounder, I believe.

Was it really that much? Considering we got Barnes and St. Brown in round 4 in earlier drafts…:thinking:

looks like Tampa got Gaines to return for ~ $1 million less… depending on the details that haven’t been released for either deal.

His game against Auburn i believe was talked about quite a bit. I wouldnt have minded him bein g drafted but i didnt like trading up for him. Just never saw it.

Id like to see GG move into a backup role.

You and me both

Lions moved up from later 4th round (pick 122)… to pick #96 to draft Bromart.

The additional picks given up were both 5th rounders 139 and 168).

The 2023 draft has had a few guys in the 5th/6th round hit…
but I also point to the Rams passing on Puka 3 times… in the 5th round alone!!!

What a draft by Rams.

If we could get Trey Hendrickson and a haul like that still even with missing an early pick would be sick

Lopez is good insurance if nothing else. Holmes won’t force a pick for a DT just to fill a need. With Lopez on the roster you have another NFL-caliber player to contribute at least until we get Mac back.
