Detroit Lions meet with RB Kendre Miller
While the Lions may not necessarily be looking to draft a running back early on in the 2023 NFL Draft, the team’s visit with Miller suggests that they are keeping their options open, and considering all possibilities. Miller could be a diamond in the rough for the Lions in the later stages of the draft.
Bottom Line: Brad Holmes will consider all options in the 2023 NFL Draft
Brad Holmes has made himself very clear that he is not about drafting for need, but rather about drafting the best football player available that he believes will fit what the Lions are trying to do. If Miller is around on Day 3, it would not be surprising to see the Lions select him.
