Miller, 22, started all 54 games for the Tigers the past four seasons. The 6-foot-7, 314-pounder is an excellent athlete, has desired length of the position.
Happy with this pick. Miller has good athletic and physical measurables, and more importantly, he is a football player. What I mean is he has played a lot of games without missing time and has done a good job. Freeling may ultimately be more valuable, but he may not. I would have been OK with Mesidor also, but I like Miller just as much.
I realize general consensus is that his ceiling isn't that high- but bro can develop. Would have been happy with him if we missed on Freeling and- turns out - lions liked him more than Freeling.
My preference, like a lot of others no doubt, would have been Freeling, but Miller has always seemed like a perfect plug-and-play Lion, somebody Holmes and Campbell would covet. Day 1 starter.
Looking forward to reading what Justin sais about the pick three years from now. (Miller vs Freeling). Right now I really like it
Let me get through the weekend before we fast forward to 2029, Nils.
Love the wrestling background. I wasn’t too picky about the 17th pick. Didn’t want Proctor, did not want TE. Miller was my pick at OT. He’s a Lion.🦁

Not often you see a team get instantly, considerably worse at the position selected for the 1st round pick.
TFS
Like the pick. Long term Decker replacement. Only 22. Nasty. Good stuff.
The master plan has always been Sewell at LT. Miller is RT solid durable and young. Great pick
Great selection. Excited to see him work.
The Lions had him as their best player and he fits a long term need. Double bonus!
Solid pick. So glad they didn’t take a CB or Safety.
Boring is good!
I think they will regret taking Miller over Banks. Bigtime
Wrong
i prefer the starter in miller vs a backup in banks projected in the mid 2nd round

Solid, stable pick….. really like it.
Welcome to Detroit, Blake!
Definitely a bit disappointed.
For no good reason.
