I feel much more comfortable knowing that a dysfunctional organization like Miami got Proctor and we ended up with Blake Miller. I think long-term, Brad got the better player. Another note about about Blake Miller, he is one of the top 30 visits the Lions had. So once again, Brad drafts a player with an elite RAS score and a player he had previously met with in a top 30 visit.

Pretty good stuff here. I really like what we're getting in Miller.

Love the way this offensive line was rebuilt the last two offseasons. It should have started a year sooner, but Brad and Dan have done a good job in paper rebuilding the line. It should become a strength of this team once again assuming Miller pans out, Mahogany/Fraizer continue to improve, and Mays gels well with those around him and his QB.

No one said he drafts purely BPA. But he certainly values talent over need and leans in the BPA direction. Most every media pundit and Lions insider will tell you how Brad leans heavily towards drafting the best player on his board. Blake Miller fit a need, yes. But I'm betting he was also high up on their board and they had a first round grade on him.

Love this pick. Let's get back to having an elite offensive line.

I don't want Larry Borom starting. Take a tackle Brad.

OFFENSIVE TACKLE! DO IT BRAD!

THANK GOD. They took Sadiq.

WOW! TY SIMPSON.

I'm glad we didn't end up with Proctor . . . I THINK lol

Yeah, it seems it has. Fudge.

💯 I think he would have been. That was an unnecessary trade for them.

This board is falling nicely for the Lions. No offensive lineman taken yet.

What a dumb pick by the Titans.

Would you sell the farm and trade up for Arvell Reese if he fell beyond the top 6?

Dumb pick by the Cardinals. Way too high for a RB. They should have taken a lineman, offensive or defensive.

I think we end up taking an offensive tackle when push comes to shove if the one they like is there. I still think they like Borom as a starter if the right guy doesn't fall to them.

No run on offensive tackles please and thank you! Let them all fall to Brad.

It's Mendoza #1 overall to no one's surprise. An Indiana QB going #1 overall is pretty unreal.

Do the Raiders go on the clock right at 8:00pm when it starts? If so, I would guess the real draft starts around 8:05 or 8:10.

Charlie Campbell has us taking Keldric Faulk in his latest mock. I've had a feeling if they take a DE/Edge it will be Faulk. Id be happy with an Edge/DE in the first, but would prefer an offensive lineman, more specifically a tackle. If they take a DE/Edge, Faulk is not my first or second choice due to his production or lack thereof in college.

In nearly every mock draft I've seen Blake Miller should be available at #17. Blake Miller seems like an absolute road grader, who loves the game of football. A Dan Campbell guy, who will run through walls for the love of the game. Now, mock drafts by analysts aren't a science by any means at all and teams boards look all kinds of different. Most mocks get an incredible amount of pick incorrect. But if there is a strong belief that Blake Miller will be available at pick 17, I see no need to trade up for Proctor and give up additional draft assets when we have so many needs. That's just my uneducated view though.

Here is a place to discuss the draft live, as it happens.
