Summary
Big Sal is back to close out the NFC North draft review series, and he saved the easiest roast for last — the Detroit Lions. After falling from 15-2 and an NFC Championship appearance to a 9-8 couch season, Brad Holmes answered with the safest, most vanilla draft class Big Sal has ever seen.
- Blake Miller at 17 is the meatloaf of draft picks — nobody's mad, nobody's excited, he just exists. Meanwhile the rest of the division is eating steak.
- Detroit traded UP to take Derek Moore over Zion Young, paying more to get the prospect most analysts graded lower. Two of their first three picks are Michigan Wolverines — that's not scouting, that's a Big Ten alumni mixer with a salary cap.
- Five of seven picks were defensive players, yet they still didn't address safety or tight end. The secondary got torched in 2025 and Holmes put a bucket under one leak and called it a renovation.
- One bright spot: Keith Abney, CB out of Arizona State in the fifth round — real value that even Big Sal can't deny.
The final NFC North draft report card is in: Bears delusional, Vikings a disaster, Lions safe and boring, and Green Bay sitting on top with a roster built to win. Subscribe, leave a five-star review, and spread the word — the NFC North runs through Lambeau.
