The Detroit Lions won 12 games last season for the second time in franchise history. They played for the NFC title, and should have beat the San Francisco 49ers in that game. They did beat the eventual Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs in the regular season.

But while some fans and former NFL general managers believe now is the time for the Lions to go all-in and maximize their window of opportunity, Lions GM Brad Holmes insisted Thursday nothing will change with his approach to roster building and this year’s draft, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

“I understand the question because you’re like, ‘OK, all right, the roster’s at a certain point. OK, you guys should be contenders headed into the season, so, OK, how do you operate this way?’” Holmes said. “But again, I just think if we just keep improving every single year through doing it through our process, that’s what we’ve been doing and that’s what we’ll continue to do. And I think when you start getting into, ‘Well, we’ve got this window, so we’ve got this and we’ve got to pivot,’ that’s when I think you kind of get into a little bit of trouble.”
