What is the story about?

With the No. 17 selection in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Detroit Lions have selected Blake Miller, right tackle from Clemson. Miller finished with elite scores on our GRIT Index (measuring a player’s character) and RAS (9.90, measuring a player’s athleticism) and should compete with Larry Borom for a starting right tackle role this season.

Throughout the offseason, SB Nation will host surveys for NFL fans, sponsored by the folks over at FanDuel Sportsbook. For Pride of Detroit, we are tasked with fielding

questions from Lions fans, and this week’s question is fairly straightforward: Now that you know who the Lions picked, we want Lions fans to assign a grade to the selection.

Please vote in the survey below, share your feedback in the comments, and check tomorrow for the results.

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year, we ask questions of the most plugged-in Lions fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
