They need to do that for each "instance".

Wasn't there at least one other prospect affected? 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.

just so folks arent confused, they had a better offer than the rams, but there is no evidence anyone else wanted to trade up for teslaa.  others are assumed to have wanted to trade up for gillotte.  in fact, its what the jags thought the lions wanted to do, but he went off the board to the chiefs just before the jags pick.

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.

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.

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...
