## Resource

The Detroit Lions are on the brink of greatness, reaching the NFC Championship under Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell’s draft-driven rebuild—but fans are growing restless as rivals splash big money and win Super Bowls. ESPN’s deep dive reveals a critical truth: every Super Bowl team built its core through drafting, often 9-15 homegrown starters, but also made key high-profile moves. The Lions’ problem? Their late-round development pipeline is drying up, and while early picks are getting paid, no one else is stepping up. The question now: is “draft and develop” enough—or does Holmes need to make bold, expensive moves to finally break through?
