I really don’t think brown’s production will be any better than what we have already seen. 

Is that a bad thing?  His production is insane.

I’d rather us not because it would cost money & picks, but at the same time it would be hard to complain about acquiring a Hall of Famer.  And his style of play should allow him to continue playing great for another 4ish years.

I just feel like that cap space would be better spent on a pass rusher than a WR. Yes, Brown is phenomenal but we already have two young WRs oozing with potential and a pass rush that basically consisted on one player last year.

I would be against having any free agent pass rusher that occupied as much cap space as Brown.

You get arguably the best receiver in the game for about 12 million per year (because the Steelers are eating a large part of his contract in a trade).

For a 3rd rounder, I wouldn't be opposed. He'd 100% elevate this team alone given his insane route running. He's been carrying Big Ben out in Pittsburgh.

However, we do have more pressing needs namely offensive line and defensive line. Would rather we focus on those areas more-so than splurge on a wideout with DJ Moore and Curtis Samuel on this team.

Also, Voth posted on twitter it's not happening anyhow.

    • Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that. 
    • I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
