What happened: Detroit is reintroducing its first-round pick, Clemson offensive tackle Blake Miller, to fans this offseason. The No. 17 overall selection projects as a right tackle, where his college experience is expected to help anchor the line.

Why it matters: Miller's arrival reshapes Detroit's front five, as his right-tackle background helped cement Penei Sewell's shift to left tackle. Solidifying the tackle position is central to protecting the offense heading into the 2026 season.

What to watch: Watch how Miller settles into the right tackle role through training camp and whether the projected line alignment holds into the 2026 season.
