I know that Brad Holmes is not really a needs first type of drafter. I know he looks for top talent on his board + culture fit for this team when drafting before solely looking at needs. I also know he'll have a big board that will have X amount of players with a first round grade and will be likely to only want to draft one of those players he has a first round grade on at pick 29. Which means if he doesn't have 29 players on his board with a first round grade, I could see him move up to grab one or move back to accumulate picks.
Personally, I'd love for Holmes to balance out focusing on BPA and still manage to address a major need this team has at the CB position. But if all the CBs that have first round grades are gone by the time we're picking at 29 then I think he's looking at his board and picking elsewhere positionally. He won't draft a CB just for the sake of it and. If there is another player, at another position, that Holmes has graded higher, he's picking that guy instead of taking a CB for the sake of need.
All that previously stated, I unless a dynamic edge rusher falls in our lap, I really want us to draft a Corner in light of the Cam Sutton situation. I feel pretty confident that both Quinyon Mitchell and Terrion Arnold will be gone by the time we pick. I also feel both of the top DE/Edge in Turner and Verse will be gone. Barring a big trade up, we aren't drafting either player. These are the players I want for each of the first three rounds,
First Round: My top choices but like gone.
1. Quinyon Mitchell/CB
2. Terrion Arnold/CB
3. Jared Verse/Edge
4. Dallas Turner/Edge
First Round: Players more likely to be there for the Lions.
5. Cooper Dejean/CB
6. Nate Wiggins/CB
7. Laiatu Latu/Edge
8. Kool-Aid McKinstry/CB
9. Jackson Powers-Johnson/IOL
10. Chop Robinson/Edge
11. Zach Fraizer/IOL
12. Adonai Mitchell/WR
13. Brian Thomas Jr./WR
Second Round:
1. Zach Frazier/IOL
2. Keon Coleman/WR
3. Jonah Ellis/Utah
4. Ladd McConkey/WR
5. TJ Tampa/CB
