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.

That or as an in addition too. They may change up their defensive scheme and play three safteys and rotate guys in the box and coverage. This would mean they such to a two LB set. O could see all three of Branch, Downs, and Joseph on the field at the same time.

The new 10-1 Congressional map in Virginia might be Trump's biggest self own yet. He's had a lot of self owns, but this one is his perhaps his biggest. He brought this on himself when he demanded that Texas and others states prematurely redraw their district maps for Congress to give Republicans more seats. This is a big time win for Democrats ahead of the midterms. For the record, this is bull**** and it shouldn't be this way at all, I'm any state. All states should fair maps, drawn by independent redistricting commissions. But until Republican states agree to do independent redistricting commissions in their states or until national legislation is passed, this needed to be done in Virginia to help balance out Trump's intentional power grab.

I had McCoy on my short list because he is the best corner in the draft IMO. But if he requires a second surgery, and that's going to keep him out, no thanks. I'll pass on him if that's the case. But Brad might not. Jamo, Levi, Paschal, Rakestraw all had injuries or prior concerns when Brad drafted them with high round picks. So I think if Brad feels McCoy is the best player on his board, at a position of relative need, he might take the risk. He'll get absolutely and rightly roasted if he does draft McCoy and it turns out that he requires a second surgery that keeps him out for at least month or more.
