Dude I could watch this all day man. Trading back and getting Gibbs and Laporta is absolute master class work from Brad

Arguably The riskiest trade in this franchise history and boy did it pay off big time. Gibbs and Laporta excelled our offense

And look at what he’s doing now 💪🏾

Gibbs is gonna change our offense

When your GM & coach have this much passion & enthusiasm u can easily see why they are the best hires in team history 🙌

You can vividly hear Dan in the background say “That’s Brad Holmes” damn right

Jahmyr is so fun to watch. Seems like a quality person too.

That pic in the background is tough.

Seeing this on 1/24/24 is nuts, because, look how dope he has been this year!

Love the pic and the behind the scenes. I believe that he was the guy and Holmes thought all along he could trade back for more value and still get him.

Lions!

What other GM/Coach have the bond that MCDC and Brad have for each other

I'm stoked

Im sure it happens all the time, but seeing the reaction when they realize they're getting their guy is fantastic.

thats not why we didn't get him.. Brad just knows Gibbs versatility is miles more valuable than a RB like Bijan. Brad is incredibly intelligent, and knows Ben Johnson will probably continue to prosper as an OC, and will land a head coaching gig at some point, and getting Gibbs into the program to run Ben's offense is going to help that kid so much. If you watch Gibbs Tape, and also the Lions 2022-2023 play calling, you then realize exactly why they got him. And by watching him in person at the Lions training camp, GIbbs has been absolutely lights out. His speed, his hands, his footwork, and route running is just a thing of beauty. I have very high hopes for both Gibbs, and Laporta. I think Sam Laporta is gonna be one of the steals of the draft. That kid can play.

@@RawwRex You can literally hear brad say they want Gibbs at 6 in the initial Lions Draft video lmfao. Comparing Bijan, and Gibbs is your first mistake.. They are 2 totally different backs lmfao. It's not even fair to say one better than the other. Gibbs is a far better route runner than Bijan, so your subjective idea of "better" Is irrelevant.

Not gonna lie I was kinda skeptical of this pick last year but after seeing him his rookie season… man what a great pick.

Just think of the uproar if we had gotten him at 6. Lol Brad works his magic and we get him And LaPorta. Time will tell how well that went but my gut says they will be huge for us :)

Would’ve taken him at #6, but they traded and got Gibbs & laporta (who are both excelling in training camp)

Another thing about brad homes is he knows what the other teams are going to draft

Holmes knew exactly what he was doing. Thank god

They definitely made the right choice. Dude is a monster.

Draft Gibbs with the 12th pick… Gives Montgomery 32 carries.

Pretty obvious that's who they wanted all along

In Brad we trust what a gm there’s been dubt but only we believed so many times just to get smacked but this guy has stuck too his guns took the heat and built a contender defined leadership being able too stick to the process pick the guys that fit what he needed and now he gets the last laugh and he did it all his way

This pick and this draft proved that the Draft experts are absolutely horrible at their job. No value from them outside of educating us on players themselves. They have no idea what front offices value.

I don't exactly understand that pick. But we have no reason to not trust Holmes, Campbell, and Ben Johnson. They said they were comfortable taking him at 6 but they knew they could get a little more out of that pick. That's who they wanted so let's see what they do with him.

@@coylebarre1240 Why aren't you sold lol? You can literally take your same opinion, and apply it to virtually every single teams Draft Picks in the entire draft. Considering not 1 player has played a regulation NFL game yet, nobody knows who is gonna be good, and or bad. What we know which is a fact, is Gibbs has been very impressive in Training Camp, and him and Goff already seem to have really good chemistry. Same with Laporta. We also know for a fact that even our Defense in training camp, couldn't keep up with Gibbs. Nobody is expecting him to be a 1st ballot Hall of Famer.. But if you think he won't impact our team positively next year, then I think you are misinformed and don't know much about ball.
