Agree 100%. Sewell & St. Brown assuming they keep on producing & have longevity in the league are two HOFers in the making. It's very rare for one franchise to draft one. For one franchise to draft two caliber players in the same draft. Man please. Dude was more than a steal.

I don’t see Bob Quinn and Matt Patricia ever having a draft with this much communication and excitement. These guys wanted Sewell, did all their homework, and walked away with one of the top prospects of this draft. So far this regime has me frickin pumped. They’re making all the right moves for this rebuild. Edit: I made this comment right after the Sewell pick. But watching this whole draft play out was nothing short of spectacular. These guys want to bring a winner to our city boys and girls

[@RogueBlackOp]

Yeah it seemed like for once there was proper communication between the scouts and the front office. It really seems like a family atmosphere

[@RogueBlackOp]

@@The_General_Zubas Yeah Shiela is definitely different from her parents. She really has done an awesome job with all the offseason hires. And she’s definitely a more hands on owner too

BQ and Fatricia would just shake hands and sit down in silence as they take Mac Jones at 7

[@SH-jl5cg]

Watch the Hockenson draft video. It was like they were at a funeral.

[@tvtda1]

i don't care if this lions team never does anything, doing nothing with this much energy and passion and effort is better than anything Bob Quinn ever did for this team. (Note: i'm not sure you guys shouldn't have taken a QB at the top. but it isn't like the lions werent the only teams to pass on QB's.) My only regret is that Matt isn't still here and able to appreciate a genuinely elite talent protecting him upfront, with a true competitive mentality leading his organization in detroit. Matt deserves it for the effort he gave detroit, every elite talent in the lions history deserves the type of intensity and passion spielman, holmes and campbell are bringing to the organization. i'm a diehard stafford fan but i wish your entire fanbase, genuine luck.

[@troy6679]

I love that Sheila was asking about getting a receiver, that’s exactly what we need from our owner, she’s aware of our team needs

[@RogueBlackOp]

Yeah I’ve never seen our owner so actively involved with the team and understanding the team and it’s needs

[@cbockiii2514]

[@JasonTom]

I love the collaborative team effort of Sheila Ford Hamp and Brad Holmes... the energy in the war room this NFL Draft for the LIONS was great and refreshing to witness. Agreed, I am so glad they got the players they wanted and are building the foundation of the LIONS "culture" this offseason. It's going great thus far.

[@michigunsanta8680]

And There’s nothing wrong with Sheila asking questions and wanting answers she owns the team, the problem with “meddling owners” is if she would have said “no we’re not taking McNeil you draft the highest rated wr there cause we needs wrs!” Then it’s a problem. The wr we would of got in the bottom of the 3rd wouldn’t have been that much better than Amon RA and the UDRFA wrs we got as McNeil is better than the NTs further down the line. 👍🏻 Although Quinn got Golladay in that exact same area and he was better than the 1st rounders that year but kindof a outlier I think. 🤷‍♂️👌😆

1) more joy in that first WHOOOO from brad holmes than there was in 3 whole years under bob quinn and matty p. 2) gotta love the candor and honesty from the whole staff (holmes: "actually i haven't been here before", Campbell: "praise john dorsey for keeping us grounded when we got too emotional or wanted to give up a lot to trade up") 3) Love the interest and attention from SFH, without demanding that the front office make Draft moves on her whims 4) Collaboration! Throughout the combine/scouting process, in the war room, on the phone lines. 5) Positive reinforcement from advisors like Spielman and Dorsey ("Look at that, the scenario you discussed is exactly what's unfolding right now") 6) This guy Brad Holmes. He turned a difficult stafford situation into a good, hungry QB + future 1st round pick, clearly did his homework (knew Miami would pick a 'Bama receiver and knew that he might have competition from the Vikings for a top OT). Set clear standards for the players they drafted (intangibles, strong positional skills, and grit/versatility), got a multitude of input from all personnel instead of pulling the authority card and going solo a la Matty P and Howie Roseman, and held his nerve under pressure and didn't reach where unnecessary. It didn't feel like there were any 'bad' picks in this class. No Teez Tabor's or Jahlani Tavai's in this class. Between the last 2 draft classes, the lions snagged the highest ranked CB and RB in 2020 (okudah and swift), the top OT and 2 of the top 3 DTs in 2021 (Sewell, Owunzurike and McNiell), brought in some good pieces via FA/trades (Brockers, Goff, Jamal Williams), and retained key players (ragnow/okwara). There's clearly a strong core forming in this team. Is this team a super bowl contender today? no. but is this rebuild moving at good pace in the right direction? you're damn right!

Watching this after the 2024 Draft, a few thing stand out to me. 1. MCDC & Holmes are so much more transparent about what they want and about the whole draft process (but are also smart enough to hide their cards where it can be hard to predict who they will select). 2. They are actually excited about who they are getting. YOU SHOULD BE EXCITED ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE BUILDING!! So many other teams try to be “professional,” but these guys are doing their own thing. 3. They will gladly explain something to Sheila while still being in control of the situation (the moment when Sheila asks about them not taking a WR earlier in the draft when they needed to get Alim when they got him; that moment comes to mind). 18:50 if you want the timestamp.

The conviction they have then the guy turns out to be a stud, future HOF'er IMO, gives you so much comfort. They had the same conviction with Hutchinson whos also an elite talent. Can't wait till 2023 draft to see how it unfolds

This is incredible. Even better watching now before the draft (2023)😊

There are a few things I took away from this video. When Sewell went outside to celebrate with his family, I noticed that he wanted everyone to celebrate with him. He was literally asking for them to join him. That is not an individual, that's a teammate. That's a leader. Second, Brad Holmes is a very serious individual. He looks like a man on a mission. Even though he got excited, he quickly zeroed back in and knew he wasn't done. He wasn't just happy with Sewell dropping to him. The last thing is Sheila Ford. As a new Lion fan, I hear a lot of people complaining about ownership and not being able to win with the Ford family. If this turns out like we all want, Sheila will need to get a lot of credit for getting the right people.

Astute observation.

I'm super excited for this new regime. Really good vibes.

[@leecaver5842]

I think personally for me this was the BEST Den Episode period..it showed true genuineness and ENERGY and emotion that I have NEVER seen from this organization or past regime. I luvd the behind the scenes look into all of the draft picks family-friendly environment and family emotion it made me smile and I got choked up for a minute I will admit it. The only thing that bothered me for some strange reason was watching Rod Woods energy he seemed unfazed, uninterested just standing around with his arms folded acting like he's ready to go. He was not into it like Sheila, atleast she genuinely tried to be excited, but Rod energy just irked me thru the whole video, is it just me?😵. Otherwise great content.👋🐯

[@alfrednawrocki8061]

Woods has seen a lot of disappointment over the years. I think, in the very near future he will retire.

[@DaTornadoz]

Rod is just the numbers/financial guy, not like most of the other people in the room.

I’m not a Lions fan, but I can’t help but admire what they’re building. Holmes and Campbell’s energy is infectious, and Sheila Ford seems like the best representative of ownership I remember them having. And that’s not even mentioning the talent they’re accumulating. I think the arrow is pointed up for sure

[@kendrix2the7th]

Can't wait for this to drop

[@rapz85]

This gets better every year

[@clarkgriswold4057]

Lions great franchise with rich history. I know they haven't had a lot of success, but you can feel the culture shifting in Detroit with Campbell. I'm happy for you Lions fans, y'all deserve it.
