Why the Lions Drafted THESE Guys…Grit AND Talent?! | Featuring Erik Schlitt

Meko sits down with Erik to break down the Detroit Lions’ draft class — starting with first-round pick Blake Miller and the team’s clear emphasis on toughness and identity. What stood out about Miller early in the scouting process? Were we surprised the Detroit Lions took him over other options? And what should fans realistically expect from him as a rookie? We also dive into the Lions’ “Grit Index” approach and how it showed up across the class — including why Detroit targeted players like Derrick Moore despite lower scores, and how that philosophy shapes their roster building. Plus, we hit on Day 3 standouts, potential sleepers, and whether any late-round picks could push for early playing time. We wrap it all up by grading the entire draft class and discussing what it means for the future of the team.
