Yeah, all these mocks that are begging the Lions to trade down (surprise, surprise, the fandom wants a trade down, right?) seem to forget that Holmes is just as likely to trade UP.

It was surprising to read how much he has traded up. JaMo is what comes to mind but he definitely likes to move around. The only difference is that he has a smaller amount of draft capital this year. Having those extra 1st rounders were really nice to start his base out.

At this point in the build I’d much prefer packaging to move up and targeting players that are falling a bit and landing his dudes but Holmes will make you look crazy trying to speculate what he’ll do.

The only thing that I actually know about this draft and Holmes is that they’ll be uber prepared. He’s a great GM.

If they have a trade down, it would be like last year when it has been reported they were high on Weatherspoon and traded out after he was drafted.

And it scored us LaPorta for probably the same player in Gibbs that they would have drafted there.

Trading out of the first round with the draft in your town, with a Detroit crowd pumped to explode with any pick that Holmes makes, would be a tough one for all those people that waited hours to cheer a Lions pick. Not that Holmes would be influenced by that at all, but all the same, a move like that would be a big of a letdown.

If there is a guy that they really like and it's a matter of a few picks, I don't think Holmes will let them get snapped up. He's going to go up and get his guy.

Lions are going with the 90s look! Love it. Looks like the WCF is going on the back of the helmet.

Looks nice!
I can’t tell if the dotted pattern that’s on the numbers is sleek or goofy looking. Will need to double check tonight.

Thinking a white LaPorta jersey, but that comes with risk. Holmes did trade TE Hockenson and if you spill a drink on a white jersey…

[Mainevent]

Basically a version of the early 90s unis, which is fine. I'm on the record numerous times hating the black uniforms and no change here, but I had prepared myself that is was going to be the alternate, so whatever.

Let's fine out what they did with the helmets. Assuming that's where they are going to incorporate the WCF, as I don't see anything on the jerseys.

[jaadam4]

Yes!! The black uniforms with the blue helmet is going to be f’ing tough. Now that we actually have a team we can wear those

Love them

[jaadam4]

The number fonts of the 90’s on the white and blue ones look awesome as well

One of the beat writers said that as well. I don’t think Holmes would care but it would be funny to hear the crowds reaction anyway

The black jersey looks sharp, a big upgrade from the original Millen jersey. It all depends on the Helmet and pants combo to make it look like the Lions and not the Panthers But if they used the blue helmet and gray pants with that black jersey it would be good

[Mainevent]

They kept everything clean and simple, which is good all around.

[wcfwtf]

Underwhelming
black is just a gimmick. Too bad they gave in for the almighty dollar.
if they want the black color scheme they should just trash the ugly Honolulu blue color and just go for a new look.
I say use the 80s Panthers jerseys
