NoSaint Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Except Iupati is 6'5" 331... It was a little tongue in cheek.... Though better run blocker than pass, very physical, was close enough to slide in the two "l" debacles in one post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dezertbill Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) NFL.COM take on Cyrus Kouandjio last year Bottom Line Massive, long-limbed, inconsistent, overhyped college left tackle whose sheer dimensions, raw tools and high ceiling are far more appealing than his snap-to-snap performance at this stage of his development. Has enough length and anchor strength to survive on the left side, though he will never be a dancing bear, and he projects more ideally as a bulldozing right tackle in a power scheme. Hmmmm...Whaley says after Miller pick CK moves to tackle. I think this will be the best thing for CK's career, and he may surprise this year now operating in a system that best fits his style of blocking Edited May 2, 2015 by dezertbill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeverOutNick Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Good deal...love that Whaley and the gang are sticking to the gameplan. No need for a clipboard holding qb wait until next year for franchise changers like Connor Cook and Trevone Boykin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gets to 2nd lvl well. Fit for Roman / #Bills. Needs to be more under control as pass blocker. But can start @RQUINN619: Millers gets out to 2nd level, TD https://t.co/uwghzz0LAk @RQUINN619: Next play from LG. same result https://t.co/FoKTcIQPBv @RQUINN619: Great pass pro https://t.co/vTfytRTDLY @RQUINN619: Miller puts defender on the ground https://t.co/so5AxXZI7O @RQUINN619: Greg roman staple- Miller pulls and whiffs, but shows enough movement skills to get out http://t.co/vNGv3zYSn2 @RQUINN619: MIller isn't flashy but he doesn't get beat. Solid all around guard. Needs to work on balance in pass pro but reliable. Edited May 2, 2015 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 STRENGTHS: Thick upper and lower body with good length. Flexible lower body with consistent knee-bend. Quick initial movements off the snap with adequate lateral shuffle. Generates good power from his hips. Anchors and re-setting to stay stout at the point of attack. Meat cleavers for hands with a quick, heavy punch to initiate contact and toss bodies. Can shift his weight to combo block with smooth hip action. Goes in motion, pulling to make plays away from the line of scrimmage. Mean streak -- looks to destroy his target. Four-year starter (46 career starts) with experience at both guard positions. WEAKNESSES: Overextends himself and will fall off-balance, lunge and rely on his upper body to get the job done. Quick off the snap, but slows and lacks the foot agility to recover. Allows rushers to cross his face and needs to improve his reaction quickness. Inconsistent rolling his hips at contact to drive his man instead of stopping his feet at ignition. Has some bad habits with his technique and anticipation, not always positioning his body with the correct angle. Slow eyes and can be sluggish adjusting to multiple pressures. Game appears too fast for him sometimes. --Derek Stephens, Dane Brugler http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/1851279/john-miller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToGoGo Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I'm far from a draft scout, but I watched both videos of him on DraftBreakdown.com and I liked him. Steady, strong, great at run blocking, eager, not lazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
