The Detroit Lions are riding a wave of excitement after the 2026 NFL Draft, and it's the perfect time to ask: How do you feel about General Manager Brad Holmes now?

For years, Holmes has been a fan favorite in the Motor City, and for good reason. Since he and head coach Dan Campbell took the reins, they've transformed the Lions from perennial underdogs into a legitimate contender. The approval ratings have been sky-high, often hovering in the high 90s. A quick look back at the polls tells the story: 97% approval in early 2021, 99% after the 2022 draft, and a staggering 99% as recently as October 2024. The only blip was a lost data set from May 2025, but the trend is clear—Lions fans have loved what Holmes has built.

However, the 2025 season was a reality check. After four straight winning seasons, the Lions took a step back, and some of the shine wore off. The 2024 draft class hasn't lived up to expectations, several high-risk picks have fizzled, and the roster depth was exposed when injuries piled up. For the first time, there were real questions about Holmes' magic touch.

But if the 2026 draft is any indication, Holmes might be back in the fans' good graces. He played it smart, addressing the team's two biggest needs with his first two picks. There were no puzzling selections or costly trades—just solid, crowd-pleasing moves that fill critical holes. It was a classic Holmes performance: calculated, confident, and focused on the future.

So, after a draft that has many Lions fans feeling optimistic again, we want to know: Do you approve of the job Brad Holmes is doing? The poll is open, and your voice matters as the Lions gear up for another run.
