Ravens video reveals a Lions trade that vanished Ravens Wired captured a draft-night framework between Baltimore and the Detroit Lions. The Ravens held pick 14. Detroit explored jumping from 17 to grab their guy. In the room were Eric DeCosta and Ozzie Newsome. As the board shifted, you can hear DeCosta say, “the deal's off.” The Detroit Lions Podcast breaks down how it unraveled and why Detroit stayed put. Picks 12 and 13 scrambled the board Action accelerated at 12. Miami and Dallas swapped. Dallas took Caleb Downs. Miami slid back and selected Caden Proctor. The Rams at 13 then grabbed Ty Simpson, a move that stunned more than Baltimore. That flurry reset expectations at 14. Detroit, according to Brad Holmes' explanation, believed no one ahead would take Blake Miller. That confidence held. The Lions did not move. What Detroit kept by not moving The reported framework from Ravens Wired: the Lions would have sent 17, a fourth-rounder at 118, and a 2027 third. Earlier in the process, Detroit also discussed offering two fourths plus 17 to the Rams at 13. None of it proved necessary. Pick 17 became Blake Miller. Pick 118 became Jimmy Rolder. Baltimore, once the talks died, drafted Venga Venga Iwanee, the guard from Penn State. Would he have been there at 17? Maybe. Unclear. Rolder projects into the linebacker rotation battle. He will compete with Malcolm Rodriguez for the third or fourth linebacker snaps. Others will factor in as well. The 2027 third remains in Detroit's pocket. Next year's value in that range looks stronger, and the Lions tend to move third-rounders when the board dictates. Standing pat preserved options. Smoke, targets and positional fit There was league chatter about Detroit and Caden Proctor. The Dolphins are playing him at guard. The sense here: the Lions were not targeting a guard at 17 and certainly not trading up for one. That tracks with how Detroit operated when the board broke. One trusted voice had also relayed pre-draft that Detroit looked at moving way up for Reuben Bain. Whether that ever truly materialized is unknown. What is clear from the NFL tape on Ravens Wired and the cadence of picks at 12 and 13 is simple. Detroit held its water, landed Blake Miller at 17, kept Jimmy Rolder at 118, and retained a future third. Efficient. Calculated. Very Lions. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #lionsdraft #baltimoreravens #ericdecosta #bradholmes #blakemiller #drafttrades #benitojones #shanezylstra #brodricmartin #timpatrick Learn more about your ad choices.
