The Cincinnati Kid Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 I watched the interview with Chan on NFLN and I really thought that it was obvious who the choice was just by his tone and the way he talks about each prospect. Miller is their guy... http://www.buffalobills.com/media-center/videos/Chan-Gailey-on-the-draft/3146831f-a0a4-4a0c-9950-c3ab960e1936 See what you think.

It seems like he just patting Newton on the back and got real excited when his guy was named
PromoTheRobot Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 I still remember what Von Miller looked like in the Senior Bowl...like a lion running down a gazelle. I'm sure Chan remembers that too. PTR
Captain Hindsight Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 I still remember what Von Miller looked like in the Senior Bowl...like a lion running down a gazelle. I'm sure Chan remembers that too. PTR True Chan and Co. Coached him already, a major plus for us and for Miller
BLZFAN4LIFE Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 If Miller is on the board when we pick, YOU HAVE TO TAKE HIM! It's a no-brainer.
marauderswr80 Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 someone please sell me on the von miller pick...... The maybin pick is what scares me.....dont want another maybin mishap I dont know much on miller.
The Cincinnati Kid Posted April 28, 2011 Author Posted April 28, 2011 Miller and Maybin only have two things in common: The 1st letter of their Last Name and the Position they play (even tho Maybin was drafted as a DE). Miller has a solid body of work at FBS level playing in the Big 12. The dude is bigger and faster than Clay Matthews, he is adding muscle and weight to his frame (last i heard he was up to 250 ish) and he is explosive as demonstrated by his 10' 9" broad jump at the combine. He is a unique pass rusher who can get his torso parallel to the ground without losing leverage and he can cover with the best of the LBs. He and Dareus are the safest picks in this draft. No doubt.
Acantha Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 someone please sell me on the von miller pick...... The maybin pick is what scares me.....dont want another maybin mishap I dont know much on miller. There's a 40 page thread that can catch you up.
Pete Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 Miller time! I too thought Chan's tone was a dead giveaway that he is leaning towards Miller. I can't see Denver passing on Darius and think that the Miller talk was just a smoke screen. And I can't see Carolina taking Miller #1. I think they are stuck with Newton and I will feel such relief if/when I hear Carolina call Newtons name. Besides some extraordinary circumstance, I think Miller is a done deal- and I love it!
PromoTheRobot Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 Who knows? Maybe with Shawn Merriman on one side and Von Miller on the other, Aaron Maybin might actually tackle someone. PTR
LABills08 Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 It's gonna be Miller or Dareus, whoever is on the board. The biggest issue will be, what if Carolina doesn't take Newton? I have no idea what the Bills do in that scenario, bc I'm fairly certain Dareus and Miller will be gone at 3 if Newton slips out of the 1st pick.

Captain Hindsight Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 Who knows? Maybe with Shawn Merriman on one side and Von Miller on the other, Aaron Maybin might actually tackle someone. PTR Thats impossible! So what happens if Denver picks Miller? We take darius

I think the question is, can he play at 250? Will he maintain his speed? He played at around 235 in college. That is a lot of weight to gain and maintain your speed and agility. I am always Leary of players coming out of college and "bulking" up.

No doubt. +1 Not to mention his character. I know people think he may have hurt himself by being the one guy named in the lawsuit, but it is a testament to his character and how much respect he garners from his peers. He is the safest pick in this draft IMO. He has the consistent production in a major conference, and the elite measurables that TCK eluded to, to validate why he was so successful at the college level. Miller is already quick and getting bigger...once he gets more physical under the tutelage of Wannstedt, he will be unstoppable.
outsidethebox Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 There's a 40 page thread that can catch you up. Is this a love fest only thread?
LABills08 Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 Pretty sure this is a, nothing left to talk about until 8pm tomorrow thread.
outsidethebox Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 Pretty sure this is a, nothing left to talk about until 8pm tomorrow thread. LOL! I agree. I was just curious though.
LABills08 Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 Via Twitter: Michael Lombardi said he's hearing that the Bills may go with Patrick Peterson third overall. BS.
