I suspect he makes the team, but we haven't really seen what he can do. The pads go on tomorrow. I will be paying attention. 

Appreciated....  He is one that I want to see make the team.  If he can use his great athletism to even half of what Chinn does we could have another special player.

I’m Interested to hear reports as well. Obviously we brought him in to play olb at 3-4. He really looked like a traditional SLB to me in the limited time we got to see him. With our new defense presumably going for a fluid look, I could see him being valuable as a guy that can switch between the two spots mid series. 
I think Rhule and snow really value positional flexibility.

We look more like a 3-4 defense now more than then...even if we play Over / Under 4-3 alignments. 

DL - Brown / Jones / Fox

Edge - Burns / Reddick

ILB - Perryman / Shaq

CB - Horn / Jackon

S - Chinn / Burriss (for now)

Then we'd see guys like Matos, and the others in the nickel sets, and in some of the even fronts as well, I expect a lot of mixed fronts, not much we can't do alignment wise.

Definitely were mixing fronts last night during the team drills, although it looked like there was more 4-3 than 3-4 overall.

Miller is a pass rusher, not a linebacker/safety like Chinn. 

I know who he is as well.  I am not sold that he won't make the team.  He's a perfect type of player that Rhule and Snow love.  Highly Athletic.  

I'm not saying he will make it but I think he will be a good player in our scheme.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By strato · Posted

      I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.

      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.
