Monday’s pre-draft chat saw Detroit Lions GM Brad Holmes step up, fielding questions with that classic poker-face finesse — a neat 15-minute dance around the pressing issues before plunging back into the grind ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft. Now, if you’ve spent any time watching these things, you know the unspoken mantra: zip it, keep intentions tucked away, and let the media and fans twist themselves in knots trying to read between the lines. Holmes? Oh, he embodied that perfectly. Sure, a couple of soundbites popped off the page, grabbed some attention, but did he actually tip his hand? Not a chance.
