So what does Holmes do? He drafted a top-tier LT who is probably one of their starters this year with their first pick. Later in the draft, he took what could be one of the more underrated possession-type receivers, something every QB needs. If they can get any kind of run game they can win some games.
Speaking of Holmes and his first draft, he most certainly looks to be following Snead's playbook. He emphasized defense this draft and it's clear he was heavily focused upon players with high analytic grades. There was a clear emphasis upon speed and quickness. It most certainly looks like a pretty good draft overall with high marks by the Detroit media. Like the Rams I think Holmes focused on the Lions weak defense this draft. OL and WRs probably next year.
Anthony Lynn was a poor HC but he's probably going to be a fairly good OC. His experience with pocket passer QBs is extensive considering the QBs the Chargers had, i.e. Rivers and Herbert. He looks like he's going to run the same type of offense the Chargers ran which is a pretty good offense for Jared after all it was the same run-first philosophy McVay used in 2018.
