The conversation covers Jimmy Rolder’s potential at linebacker, intriguing late-round additions like Keith Abney II, and the surprising move to trade up for wide receiver Kendrick Law. Undrafted rookie free agents and ongoing free agency possibilities, including big names like Joey Bosa and Cam Jordan, also take center stage.

Key questions include whether Holmes’ draft-for-need approach can boost Detroit back to its gritty identity and if these rookies will ignite fierce camp competition. National expert draft grades and fan-favorite picks round out this fast-paced Lions draft recap. #firstlisten
