Show Notes
The Detroit Lions traded running back David Montgomery to the Houston Texans for a 2026 fourth-round pick, a 2027 seventh-rounder, and offensive lineman Juice Scruggs. Scruggs, a 2023 sixth-round pick, brings interior line experience and is seen as a depth upgrade, particularly at center. He has no guaranteed money left on his deal, making him a low-risk addition. Despite struggles against power rushers, Scruggs strengths in pass protection and zone blocking align with the Lions needs. This trade bolsters the lineup and hints at a focus on free agency for a proven center, with Scruggs developing into a potential long-term piece.
