Mason Graham? More than those two? Yeah but their dads aren’t famous so it’s okay. Sorry, correction. Their dads aren’t famous so ESPN doesn’t care. So it’s okay. Quote

Mr.TaterSalad Posted 12 hours ago Posted 12 hours ago Yeah, I haven't seen any evidence that the Rams or someone else were about to pick TeSlaa if the Lions didn't move up there and get him. This still feels like such a steep, steep reach to me. I hope TeSlaa turns out to be a starting caliber player. Quote
MichiganCardinal Posted 12 hours ago Posted 12 hours ago Kind of feels to me like the trade was put in place for Gilotte and then when he was gone, the offer was still on the table and Holmes said “f it” and made the trade anyway for another guy he loved. Not a great strategy, but hope it works out. Quote
1984Echoes Posted 10 hours ago Posted 10 hours ago Holmes said he tried several times to move up in the draft for a DE but it never worked out. This sounds like one of those times... I also saw somewhere where he tried to trade up for Shemar Stewart. But it takes two to tango... Quote
