papazoid Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Milliner put up the fastest time of the morning so far by a defensive back, running a scorching 4.31-second 40 on his first attempt. His second was a 4.37, validating the first one. HE WON'T MAKE IT TO #8...... http://profootballta...ns-runs-a-4-31/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-9 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 He's also showing why he's a DB and not a WR. Hands of stone. Not that it matters much GO BILLS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterpan Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 One of the best CBs I have seen come out in a long long time. He will be gone by 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeisterHollow Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 One of the best CBs I have seen come out in a long long time. He will be gone by 8 I agree. And I think that is a good thing. Some very good players are going to be sitting there at 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Good. Perhaps Dion Jordan makes it to #8!! I wouldn't mind Millner, but I'd like Jordan, and perhaps Honey Badger in a later round. Still need to find another starting corner though in FA. I like Dion Lewis from PIT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobChalmers Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I'm really not opposed to giving McKelvin another shot at starting CB. His cover skills have been good - he just struggled competing for balls in the air - don't know how trainable/learnable that is, but it seems like it might be enough to give him that shot. Obviously he has the speed and agility to play the position and then some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkington Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I feel like our CB situation will be improved with better schemes and a more active front seven. Also, if we can pick up a SS that'd be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobobonators Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) One of the best CBs I have seen come out in a long long time. He will be gone by 8 I actually think he's a tad overrated personally. Patrick Peterson to me was worlds better at this point in their careers. In the 5 games or so I watched him play, he at times seemed to lack ball awareness when the ball was up in the air and seemed a bit out of position at times. He'd make up for it with his physical talent, but at the next level it'll be harder to make up for any mistake no matter how small it is. That being said, he's obviously the best CB in this draft in terms of potential. He's definitely not one of the best CB's I've seen come out though - he's way too raw to have that distinction.

John from Riverside Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I really feel that Ron Brooks is going to be a player for us......I dont want to overload on corners early when we have a guy like Brooks waiting in the wings....... Resign McKelvin....let him and Gilmore start. Let Brooks be the nickle......bring in a experienced vet free agent for insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Williams as to whether he gets moved to safety, etc..but I wouldn't completely give up on him either. he showed brief flashes before going down his rookie season. Williams is pretty damn young and I'd like to see him a full season in a legit defensive scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Hammersticks Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Keep an eye on Boise St. CB Jamar Taylor in he is around in the 3rd or 4th round. Decent size at 5'11" 192....played all four years at Boise and took over starting role at the beginning of his sophomore season. Ran 4.32 at the combine....22 reps on the bench press. Physical corner who excels in press man coverage. Would be a steal if we were able to get him in the 4th, but I suspect he will go in the 3rd. IMO, would be a good bookend corner on the other side of Gilmore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Brooks, too, but it's ironic that he couldn't beat out a freshman Tyrann Matthieu for the other starting CB spot at LSU. GO BILLS!!!

Patrick Peterson was worlds better than everyone. His running ability is of another world. Coming out of college he was worlds better than Revis. Champ Bailey, Deion Sanders and Charles Woodson are the only guys, coming out of college, that were in the same realm as Peterson. It doesn't mean he can't be a great CB and worthy of the 8th spot. I'd be ok with it. I think he's going to be a stud. He and Gilmore would be fantastic and instantly grade our defense more than any other player in this draft IMO. Jarvis Jones would be my first choice followed by Dion Jordan, but milliner would be a great addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I love even more, is the thought of Brooks at nickel and Milliner and Gilmore on the outside. Our cbs would be dynamic in a pass happy league. Landing Jones or Jordan to bolster the LBs and resigning mckelvin to pair with brooks and Gilmore is a good option though. It'll be interesting to see what Leo gets on the open market. I bet its at least 4mill a year if the team thinks he can start at CB. I really hope we retain him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
