Of course. I'm just busting balls. He will need development at the next level and would be a backup at NT until he proved he's more than just a space eater. More than likely he would spend his 1st season on the practice squad if he cannot unseat Roy.

Roy hasn't been on the team since 2022.

He was a beast in practice but during the game he didn't stand out.

No, he actually wasn't that impressive in the one on ones during the week. Hence why some soured a bit on him. Plus he did not do well at the combine either.

He is more of a project than I expected.

Sounds like he'd fit right in.

To be fair though he didn't get to play a lot in the game because they were rotating the players so all of them get some playing time. None of the DL on both teams got the opportunity to play very much. So there's that.

I saw him beating double teams in the drills. They even triple teamed him in one pass rushing drill.

I think the reviews were generally mixed.

I still like him personally.

He's definitely a scheme specific type player. I hadn't heard of him until I spotted him at the senior bowl practice.  I kept seeing this big guy with Walker on the back of his jersey throwing oline players left and right. Put a couple of them in their asses. He definitely looked like an nfl player going against college guys.

I have actually watched him at UK the past couple of years. He can be a pocket collapsing guy at times. Massive, massive human being.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      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.
