The Detroit Lions have officially locked in their entire 2025 draft class, signing first-round pick Blake Miller and the rest of their rookies to fully guaranteed contracts. With pen to paper, the team is now set to build a formidable offensive line that could redefine their identity in the trenches.

Miller, the 17th overall pick, inked a four-year deal worth $22.17 million, including a hefty $12.58 million signing bonus, per OverTheCap.com. The 6-foot-7, 317-pound tackle out of Clemson is expected to step into the starting right tackle role immediately. He brings an impressive résumé: a two-time first-team All-ACC selection who started all 54 games in college and set a school record with 3,778 snaps from scrimmage. Known for his relentless work ethic and finishing ability, Miller has been hailed as a "sicko" by those around the program—a term of endearment for players who live and breathe the grind.

The Lions also announced deals for the rest of their draft class, including second-round defensive end Derrick Moore and Day 3 picks Jimmy Rolder, Keith Abney, Kendrick Law, Skyler Gill-Howard, and Tyre West. This completes a busy offseason where Detroit focused on revamping their offensive line to get younger and more consistent. The projected starting unit now features an all-27-and-under lineup: All-Pro Penei Sewell moving to left tackle, Miller at right tackle, returning guards Tate Ratledge and Christian Mahogany, and free-agent addition Cade Mays at center.

General manager Brad Holmes couldn't hide his excitement about Miller on draft night, praising not just his size and athleticism but his football character. "He's big, tough, smart, and a finisher," Holmes said. "From a culture standpoint, he's a perfect fit. And his ability to move like that while being such a finisher—it's rare."

For Lions fans, this is more than just a signing; it's a statement. The team is building a line that can protect the quarterback and pave the way for a dominant run game, all while embodying the gritty, blue-collar spirit of Detroit. Whether you're gearing up for game day or just love the grind of NFL preparation, this rookie class is ready to make an impact—and they're already locked in for the long haul.
