#Lions GM Brad Holmes: “We’re going to expect everybody’s best, whether it’s in the division or outside It. But we’ll be ready.” “We’re a better football team now to take that next step.”

Brad Holmes on Amon-Ra St. Brown and Penei Sewell: "They represent and embody everything we’re about. It was a no-brainer to do those extensions." Recalled Sewell showing up with his parents the day after he was drafted. Now he's the NFL's highest-paid OT and the father of two.

Brad Holmes: "He fits how we want to play. He’s got some dirtbag in him. He’s one of those tough Jersey kids who doesn’t take a lot of crap."

Brad Holmes said he went to bed last night telling himself, "We're not trading up." Woke up this morning and decided Manu and Vaki would be "gut punches" to miss out on. Campbell had the same two guys in mind. "So I just said, 'Let’s go get them. Let's not mess around.'"

Wingo had midseason surgery to reattach adductor muscles that tore off around his pelvis ... then returned to play in LSU's bowl game. A team captain, naturally. "I’ve seen the style of football the Detroit Lions like to play, and I’m glad I'm part of the club now."

So Detroit shattered attendance records at the NFL draft while Eminem kicked things off in Cadillac Square, Barry Sanders served Bud Lights at B-Dubs and Amon-Ra St. Brown dished out slices from a Little Caesars pizza truck. Different Round Here.

As a tandem, Terrion Arnold and Ennis Rakestraw could be ...? "A force to be reckoned with," said Rakestraw, who was once turned away at an All-American camp. "I'm in the best fit for me, so I’m just gonna prove the Lions right and everybody else wrong." audacy.com/971theticket/s…

The Lions got a pair of corners widely considered top-15 and top-40 players in the draft. That's pretty good ... value at picks 24 and 61. They also solved a long-standing dilemma. "We finally got some future and youth at that position.” audacy.com/971theticket/s…

New #Lions CB Ennis Rakestraw: "I call myself the tone-setter. My defense used to call me the firecracker of the team, because yeah I'm a corner but I’ll come up and set an edge and hit you like a linebacker. I’ll make my presence be felt every play that I’m out there."

"In terms of the feistiness and toughness and aggressiveness that he plays with, the energy and passion that he plays with, yeah, he fits 100 percent with Detroit." Lions were torched in the air last season. Davis, Robertson, Arnold and Rakestraw are here to put out the fire.

Amon-Ra St. Brown on Jared Goff extension: “I want it bad. I’m confident it will get done in the near future. I want him to be here as long as I’m here. He’s the only quarterback I’ve played with in the league. I know it’s gonna get done, I just can’t wait for it to get done.”

The #Lions haven’t had a true CB1 since Darius Slay. Now they might have two. Carlton Davis III: “I'm here to take the No. 1 receiver on these teams." Terrion Arnold: “I’m coming in to guard receiver 1's off the rip." The Lions have turned a problem into a good one to have.

Terrion Arnold to @dannierogers___ "I want to win a Super Bowl. I feel like they had that one missing piece. I feel like I’m that missing piece." On going No. 24: "Kobe. I want to be one of the greatest to ever do it. And I feel like I got that Mamba mentality."

Dan Campbell told Terrion Arnold early in the process, "If the opportunity presents itself, we’re coming to get you." When they called him last night, "I said, ‘It’s go-time, Coach.'" A major move by the Lions. "This kid ... we need him," said Campbell: audacy.com/971theticket/s…

Terrion Arnold: "I’m a shutdown corner. Brad traded up to get me, that meant a lot to me. I’m gonna go out there and show why he did it." "It’s an opportunity to go out there and win Defensive Rookie of the Year."

Brad Holmes on how Terrion Arnold stacked up to other CB's on Lions' board: "We had a pretty significant line underneath him to the next guy." "We feel really good about his floor, but we feel even better about his ceiling."

Brad Holmes says Arnold was perfect match b/t "best football player and an area where we wanted to add." "We weren’t anticipating being able to do that in the 1st round. We thought we’d be out of the mix for a lot of those guys, especially him. He was our highest-rated corner."

The #Lions allowed the most air yards and second most yards per pass in the NFL last season and made the NFC title game. With cornerback tandem of Davis and Arnold, their ceiling is nothing less than the Super Bowl. "He has the ability to naturally find the ball."
