silvermike Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Wow. I give a lot of respect to that site - the dude works hard and doesn't put out a new mock every two days just to drive up traffic. But I haven't seen Von Miller as a top-5 prospect before.

Mr. ChumChums Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Wow. I give a lot of respect to that site - the dude works hard and doesn't put out a new mock every two days just to drive up traffic. But I haven't seen Von Miller as a top-5 prospect before. Well, they DID say that he would be a reach at 3, but is still worthy of top 10 consideration. I DO agree with the pick in some ways, as LB is our biggest need, IMO. Just not 100% sure if we should venture too far away from BPA, and reach for need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wing Man Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Pending the Senior Bowl and combines, it's hard to believe that the Bills wouldn't pick Dareus or Quinn in this scenario. If we're looking at a surprise pick here, they could go Peterson, Gabbert, or Newton. 11. Houston - Steven Paea, DT, Ore. St. would be a tremendous reach.

bananathumb Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Aaron Maybin the 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvermike Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I'm pretty convinced that Dareus is going to be the best option. Not necessarily the most exciting: he's not going to be the kind of player who gets 18 sacks per season - Arthur Moats and Shawne Merriman are going to get the credit. But they'll be getting penetration because Dareus occupies the linemen. He also frees up Kyle Williams to be an even bigger force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Miller at #3 is one of my (few) nightmare scenarios. Id rather have Quinn, and Im not high on Quinn at all. Id rather have AJ Green at #3. Plenty of players at positions we dont need that I would rather have over Miller (at #3 overall). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Lightning Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Stupid draft experts...the last thing we need is another tweener with a great first step...... Pick Dareus and get a stud 5 technique DLman and let's start pounding on some OL's. Dareus, Troup, KW in a 3-4 with Edwards and Carrington in rotation or in a hybrid 4-3 is a nice place to build from. Then let's talk LB's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockinon Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 (edited) I can't say I'd be too upset over this pick. The guy is a game changer. Looking at his highlight reels, he really plays with fire and intensity. Edited January 24, 2011 by Rockinon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Von Miller at #3? I believe there would be mass riots at OBD. I, for one, would probably kick my cat and throw my TV remote through the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lofton80 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Go with size and strength early, worry about speed later. A mean attitude works as well. Fairley, Bowers or Dareus have to be the selection unless we trade back. Enough with the speed guys and the projections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T master Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 (edited) Wasn't that what they said about Maybin ???? I say go with Dareus we need to collapse the pocket & with Williams & Dareus we will have a front line worth keeping for years to come !!!

larz tex Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I hope they find someone to trade down with and get more pics, them don't pick McCargo, Losman, Maybin, etc. but instead use them wisely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsGuyInMalta Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 BIG difference between Maybin and Miller. Miller has been performing at a high level for close to 4 years...with the last two seasons in a row being considered stellar. Maybin only had one season of decent college level play. I'd prefer a guy like Fairley or Dareus with our #3 pick, but I wouldn't complain over Miller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd prefer a guy like Fairley or Dareus with our #3 pick, but I wouldn't complain over Miller. Having watched several of Miller's games, including the bowl game, I would say that my biggest concern would be his lack of size and strength to defend against the run in the NFL. Another criticism of Miller would be his inconsistency with playing to the whistle....he often looks lazy giving up on plays. IMO...he has not demonstrated the ability to be a solid run defender in college. That being said...I doubt that he could be an "every down" linebacker. No doubt, he is an exceptional pass rusher and has established a body of work. The question is...do we draft a "situational" player with the #3 overall pick? I think not.

I only caught a couple A&M games live, but in the last few weeks went back and watched some of Miller's footage, and I agree with your evaluation 100%. I think he would be a great pick in the 20s, and definitely in round 2 (which I understand probably wont happen), but #3 overall... yikes! We're already busy running Donte out of town, and now make another reach with the most important draft pick in recent Bills history?!?! No thanks.

VanCity Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Miller has had a successful college career, but our need on D is really a space eater to stop the run and a dynamic LB to step in and defend Tight Ends. I am not certain that Miller fits the latter exceptionally and he definitely does not fit the former. We have all been wrong before, but I have also seen us be very, very right. Concencus rules on this one and I vote for Fairley, Dareus or Bowers, very much in that order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpberr Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I hate that draft. Miller at #3? No way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
