The Detroit Lions have made their first round pick and the fans and analysts are weighing in.
With the 17th overall pick, the Lions selected Clemson’s Blake Miller. At 6-foot-7” and 317 pounds, he’s sure to be a physical presence on an offensive line that sorely needs some manpower to give quarterback Jared Goff all the time he needs in the pocket.
FOX 2’s Dan Miller spoke one-on-one with Lions head coach Dan Campbell after the pick.
“He’s played a lot of football. He’s solid, he’s steady. He can do it all. He plays physical in the run game. (He’s) freakin’ smart, tough, got length, moves well,” he said. “We feel like this is a guy who can come in and compete and help us with the O-line.”
