Brad Holmes caught so much flak for getting Gibbs and LaPorta so early in the draft, and maybe I’m just not in the right places to hear the public criticism but the irony of this situation is not lost on me
Oh don’t get me wrong I agree with you. I just remember the general sentiment being overwhelmingly negative towards the Lions for making those choices, and to see other GMs making similar position selections this year is humorous to me

I’m not saying Gibbs and LaPorta are bad picks, necessarily.
But historically it’s harder to find better value at premium positions later in the draft, and TE and RB are not premium positions.

Makes sense. I hope those players work out for their teams. We’ll see. :)
