I’m good with it

[Mr.TaterSalad]

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

Is this pick taking forever?

Because they are trading down and picking up a 3rd rounder to go down a few spots and get the player they wanted anyway? 

[Motown Bombers]

I don't get it. Holmes said Borom is a starter, does this mean Miller is replacing Sewell?

[buddha]

wait, wait, WAIT A MINUTE!  

are you telling me that its just a coincidence that the BEST PLAYER AVAILABLE is also the lions' biggest position of need??????

no way.  brad only drafts pure bpa.  lol.

[Nate7474]

Like the position don't love the player at 17 as I would've taken Freeling for the althetic upside.  With that said the experience of Miller is probably the safer pick.

[buddha]

even after kwame leaves, the vikings still dont know how to draft.

[Jason_R]

There it is. Blake Miller. He’ll be a Lion for ten years. 

[sagnam]

Wonder what would had happened had the Jets not jumped the Lions.

[buddha]

Do the lions trade back into the first to get their edge?  

[Stanley70]

They went with the pro ready guy over upside. They had Millers comp as Decker.

[Jason_R]

 

[Motown Bombers]

I would gladly take a young Decker.

There are a bunch left, i wouldn't. It would cost a ton too.

[buddha]

i'll take an average to above average right tackle for the next decade, especially if he's a beast in the run game and a great teammate like miller is supposed to be.

the only guy with better measurables if freeling.  mauigoa, and fano, and lomu, and even proctor could end up as guards give their arm length.

[Stanley70]

Must be some truth to McCoy's knee not being fully healed.

i agree.

get dani dennis sutton or lt overton or someone like that.  especially if youre not looking for speed rushers.  other teams dont value pocket crushers like the lions do.

[Stanley70]

Pretty much all of the first round OT's are gone by 21. Ioane also.

[Jason_R]

Mr. Reliable, in every way. 

[Motown Bombers]

I was told Holmes only likes injured players?

[buddha]

steelers reach for a tackle.

the steelers used to be good at this drafting thing.  not for a while.

The longer Faulk and McCoy stay on the board the more a possibility a trade is. I don’t think it happens in the 1st round though.

[Motown Bombers]

I think the Steelers are more dysfunctional than we know. We may see Tomlin covered up a lot there.
