With the 2025 NFL Draft just around the corner, Detroit Lions GM Brad Holmes is keeping things simple for the fans: grab your popcorn and enjoy the ride.
Speaking to the media Thursday, Holmes dropped a bit of perspective for all the armchair GMs out there stressing over mock drafts and trade rumors. His advice? Treat the draft like a movie you’ve never seen—because that’s exactly what it is.
“When you go to see a movie, you’ve never seen the movie,” Holmes said. “That’s the excitement… Just watch the draft and get your popcorn ready.”
Classic Holmes—chill, confident, and totally unfazed by the noise. He knows the Lions are in a strong position with a deep roster and the No. 28 pick. Whatever happens on draft night, Holmes wants fans to embrace the suspense and trust the process.
So forget trying to predict every move. Sit back, relax, and let the drama unfold.
Because when Brad Holmes is running the show, there’s always something worth watching.
