While it's nice to bolster the OL and keep the offense relatively sharp, it's the defense that will ultimately tell the tale. Miller looks like a decent pick. Teams that have been playing in the recent Super Bowls have had strong defenses. Maybe they pick up some guys for the "D" in the coming rounds, but this is a 2-3 year rebuilding posture.
I am thinking that dealing for Max Crosby (or some similar stud) would give an instant boost to the "D" but this is too radical for Lion's thinking. No, they'll take the snail's way meanwhile as they are trying to rebuild many of their stars are aging and will become more injury prone.
In my opinion the Lions have always had their identity (during this regime) as strong in the trenches. The inability to have a clean pocket or run lanes at times was a lot of what hurt us last year, I do hope (and think they will) dig in on defense on night two. Not trying to discount your point either to be clear

JMHO after watching this team for six decades.

So is it Miller time or Miller high life? Which slogan we going with???
