Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes threw a bit of a curveball by selecting Kentucky DE Josh Paschal in the second round. It was an unexpected pick with so many other more prominent prospects at different positions still on the board, but Holmes is quite happy with the way the No. 46 overall pick played out.
Holmes fielded several questions in his Friday night press conference about why the team chose Paschal and how they envision using him.
“We do have a vision for him,” Holmes stated. “Just the things that I said about his ability to be an inside rusher in sub situations and see what he’ll be able to do on the edge as well.”
