Seems like a good guy to take in the 4th as a special project
Not gonna be a contributor for awhile (if ever); great athlete but very unrefined
giving up three Day 2 picks for a guy who needs a lot of of development is hard to understand

I've learned not to doubt any reach by this Detroit regime. Expect this dude to become a stud.
I don’t think most of these mid round projects the lions have taken over the Holmes years ever seem to see the field.Seems like a good guy to take in the 4th as a special project

Was Matt Millen the GM this year?They traded the last pick of this years third round, plus TWO future third round picks for this kid. That alone will make me take a second look.
It had to be FOMO. It's a human tendency.Was Matt Millen the GM this year?They traded the last pick of this years third round, plus TWO future third round picks for this kid. That alone will make me take a second look.
Fair haha. And I know they don't have Ben Johnson there anymore. But Holmes has had some credit for the hits since 21, and I still think Dan Campbell doesn't get enough credit for anything except making some wild decisions on 4th down.Was Matt Millen the GM this year?They traded the last pick of this years third round, plus TWO future third round picks for this kid.

This is not a new thing for Holmes. He's given up surplus value in draft picks to move up for a mid rd project he covets that'll likely fall anyway 3 years in a row. Results to this point haven't been good.Was Matt Millen the GM this year?They traded the last pick of this years third round, plus TWO future third round picks for this kid. That alone will make me take a second look.
Yeah and this isn't by any means the be all end all, but watching the draft "wow the Lions gave up all this for this guy let me look him up in my Lindys Draft guide" and he like is not even in the magazine. Not a great sign to me.Fair haha. And I know they don't have Ben Johnson there anymore.

Not saying he's jumping into my top 24. But I basically ignored this guy completely outside deep rookie drafts as like a 6th round dart throw because I heard an analyst say his name once lol. Feels like I might have to put in a little more effort now.
Right there with you on not knowing who the guy was, quite a shock. That is a pick that really needs to pan out based on the move.Yeah and this isn't by any means the be all end all, but watching the draft "wow the Lions gave up all this for this guy let me look him up in my Lindys Draft guide" and he like is not even in the magazine.

I'm trying to find out why I have his name on a sticky note (alongside guys like Oronde Gadsden, Andrew Armstrong, Elijah Badger, and Torrey Horton for context lol). I know someone had him tagged as a deep sleeper, just can't remember who anymore.Right there with you on not knowing who the guy was, quite a shock.

No one in the history of Earth has found a TeSlaa that's worth the price paid.They traded the last pick of this years third round, plus TWO future third round picks for this kid. That alone will make me take a second look.

The #Lions traded 3 third-round picks to move up to No. 70 and select Arkansas WR Isaac TeSlaa, who was ranked No. 170 on the consensus board. If there’s one lesson I’ve learned over the years in the draft, it’s this: don’t doubt the Lions in the draft — which is why that aggressive move has me very intrigued about what TeSlaa could become in Detroit:
