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
I know that Ben Johnson is salivating
Understatement. Him and LaPorta completely changed everything.
@@andrew4787 LaPorta is so much fun to watch my god
You can vividly hear Dan in the background say “That’s Brad Holmes” damn right
When your GM & coach have this much passion & enthusiasm u can easily see why they are the best hires in team history 🙌
Jahmyr is so fun to watch. Seems like a quality person too.
Seeing this on 1/24/24 is nuts, because, look how dope he has been this year!
That pic in the background is tough.
I could re-watch this all day
Im not even a lions fan and I keep coming back to this
Lions!
My entire family can agree lions are finally in good hands! This draft class was 🔥
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.
ONE PRIDE
BUILT FOR THIS
GO LION'S
What other GM/Coach have the bond that MCDC and Brad have for each other
Im sure it happens all the time, but seeing the reaction when they realize they're getting their guy is fantastic.
The elbow to dan had me rolling.
I'm stoked
Not gonna lie I was kinda skeptical of this pick last year but after seeing him his rookie season… man what a great pick.
We weren't ever going to take Bijan at any spot in the draft. He failed the interview process. He didn't fit the culture.
Facts
Why did he fail? Too much arrogance?
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.
Nahh they knew Bijan was going to go before. Don’t act like he isn’t better than Gibbs
@@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.
Best part is Brad hitting Dan 😂
High five all around - The Waterboy 😂
Clap hands clap hands
@@nickwytE haha that's it!
SO LIT. I know it's not all on them, but smashing draft after draft, trading around and getting exactly who they want damn near every time... LFG!!!! This is now how I drew it up when I imagined "The Lions Git Good"... (And I been dreaming 40 years now)
💙💙💙💙💙
Sounds like he was 7 on their board? And they pulled Laporta outta this, sheesh that’s how you win a draft 🫡
Tim Twentyman bangs long and hard
Draft Gibbs with the 12th pick… Gives Montgomery 32 carries.
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 :)
Comments that age well 💙
@@Megan-rz4fc ha thanks. I saw his highlights from college and thought, Maybe he could be Sanders 2.0? Not quite since there is no 2.0 version of that gift from God. In fantasy football I wanted All the lions offensive players. Didn't get but I'm happy I was right to want them lol
Another thing about brad homes is he knows what the other teams are going to draft
One pride lion pride one pride lion pride
Would’ve taken him at #6, but they traded and got Gibbs & laporta (who are both excelling in training camp)
Pretty obvious that's who they wanted all along
Holmes knew exactly what he was doing. Thank god
They definitely made the right choice. Dude is a monster.
Holmes is just playing a different game as a GM
Unleash Gibbs!!
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.
next CMC 🔥
1:16 Never seen a franchise so excited to draft a backup RB in the first round
Care to walk that take back?
never seen a comment so confidently wrong
😂@@DSupremacy313
@@DSupremacy313 Took 8 or so weeks but yeah definitely was wrong. Glad I’m wrong though want to see the Lions have some success
I hope they start using him once he comes back from injury. He’s killing me in fantasy rn.
How’s it going now
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
I think once Witherspoon was off the board, they opted to trade back. Just my two cents.
Yes because that is the reaction I would give if I got my second choice too.
Seriously? 🤣😜
I remember being so pissed at that pick but now I get so happy every time I see this
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.
If ur confused lol then u lose respect
@@Norkazief the lions had a top 5 offense last year. And the 2nd worst defense. So it would make sense to draft a defensive player with their first pick. I trust them but I thought they'd go all defense in the first 2 rounds.
I have reasons
@@styxscorpion4541I'm with you. Brad totally broke draft logic to get his guys. I hope we're dead wrong on what we needed to draft in the 1st round, and I hope Brad really was the smartest guy in the room.
@@CombatLegsVIDS yeah. He's been very good in the draft so far. But they wanted Gibbs from the start. They must see something in him.
You think they would reconsider
The lady was lucky Holmes got it all out before he got to her. LOL!
Just win.
Think about it… Gms and front offices get fired all the time. One pick can make or break a career. One pick can change whether or not they have to relocate families. 10s of millions of dollars. Generational wealth.
Dan Gamble 😂
Never thought I'd see a team draft a guy in the first round with no intentions of using him
What about that now?
@@StoneColdv22 still had crazy efficiency with limited volume but hell of a season from him
let brad cook
Who’s here after the packers game?
Still not sold on this guy yet, but I hope he proves wrong and I hope he does well for this team. #OnePride
Be sold on Ben Johnson then
@adgee5401 I'm already sold on Ben Johnson. I was scared that he might take a head coaching job and leave us, but luckily he chose to stay. I guess if anyone can help Gibbs reach his full potential, it's him. I certainly hope so.
he'll be an OP alvin kamara in this offense
@@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.
@jleif7736 true, but this is only training camp. We'll see what he does in a game. But keep in mind, I HOPE HE PROVES ME WRONG. I really hope he does well. Especially since we spent a first round pick on him. But Brad Holmes has proven me wrong before, hopefully he does it again.
First
Lol drafted a dude so he sees the field 5 times in a half. No red ZONE PLAYS NICE
Dude doesn't need to be in the red zone to score. That was the point of drafting him
Yikes this looks worse every day
HUH?????????????????????????
@@zacharypearlman8378 Captain Hindsight has arrived.
@@Urbank06 just say you were wrong boss. There's a reason why you wait a lil but before condemning rookies. Hopefully he keeps trucking
@@k-ri2023 But I wasn’t wrong. It was always a usage issue from the start. He was 100% misused to start the year. I never said he wouldn’t be good and that comment wasn’t even insinuating that.
Bijan is better imo
Bijan is the better runner, Gibbs is the better player.
bijan is not better then gibbs lol nice take tho
YOU HAD MONTGOMORY
Who cares man? Now we have two headed monster threat, the one two punch, a good nfl team has two solid Running backs, one to be the north to south hard runner guy and the other to make flashy plays catching and also running
Two different backs u sound silly 😂 does Montgomery has sub 4.2 speed???
You that ignorant huh? 😂😂😂
@@donbur1553 bruh, we had Williams and Swift last year and they were the reason why we stayed in games and got to 9-8, the one two punch combo, and it’s gonna be the same with Gibbs and Montgomery
We still have Montgomery, and now we have a young dawg in Gibbs. He will be more of a weapon at reciever, and with Ben Johnson calling the offense, he will be utilized in a different way than Montgomery.
Freaking embarrassing.
