Best draft possible. Hooker is icing on the cake. Finally a viable backup.... This team is built for Super Bowl. I heard some rumors we may trade Swift--I hope that's not true. It kinda makes sense to trade him though given the depth--I just can't imagine a team being willing to trade what I think he's worth. I'd much rather have depth at RB than get a 4th or 5th for him.

I’d love if we could get a 4th

Both picks felt like reaches but Holmes talked about how he felt like he could do anything this draft and wasn’t necessarily going to look at position strength when putting his board together. Seems like they are prioritizing guys who they feel like are smart, high character football players. Trying to continue to set the culture they want for the team.

I love both players but did feel like they might have been available at later picks, I guess they left enough of an impression on Holmes and the coaching staff that they didn’t want to take that gamble.


From what i heard the jets weee targeting gibbs at 15, and they really wanted him so we took him at 12.

wow pleasant surprise looking over day two! Branch was high on Kiper’s list and then Hooker?! maybe we can get him in this season if something happens but just the fact they’d take a qb means my bitching about goff being “the man” can subside a little. completely happy with both those picks after the first round kinda dissolved and instead of Richardson we got Hooker and instead of Bijan we got Gibbs… yea my brother says swift is done there but how am i the lions fan and im shocked hearing that: dude had like a 33+ carry game was nuts

Swift traded today for a bag of chips (aka a 6th this year and a 4th next). Probably all we could get for him, I’m not mad, he was going to be gone next year for sure and doesn’t seem like he wants to play.

Wish Swift the best, he was electric at times.

Excited to see how our draft picks play out, seems like we got some football athletes

Guess we'll see who knows better, people who are paid to draft or you. Only time will tell.

Edit: Although this can be said about literally anyone who gets drafted though
... If they are good, good draft, if they are bad, bad draft

Sounds like other teams were high on Gibbs, and seems like it was probably part of the plan to get the RB they wanted assuming they were letting Swift go.

What's wrong with a stud linebacker when our linebacker position has been pretty trash?

TE no comment, again having faith they know more than we do.

Hooker in 3rd is good value imo, we need a serviceable backup and that's him
