DC Tom Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Jerry Sullivan @TBNSully 36s36 seconds ago Bills take a guard, John Miller, who was seen as a Day Three guy in our preview issue. He dropped in some mock drafts, which is horrifying. "He dropped in some mock drafts, which is horrifying." What? You're horrified by changes in mock drafts? Seriously? What does Jerry Sullivan actually do for a living? I mean, what's his day job? As for the pick...depth never hurts, but I've always been under the opinion that coaching was a much bigger issue than talent on Marrone's O-line. I can take it or leave it.
Kelly the Dog Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 There were a few very decent OL left here so they obviously liked him. I'm all in favor of this. You never know when these guys will go but I'm very glad we got a OG who is tough. This reminds me of the EJ and Kiko draft. If we would have taken Kiko first and EJ second, people would not have bitched so much. Same here. If we would have taken a OG first like Miller, and then Darby second, people wouldn't have bitched so much. Including me. Very glad we didn't draft Petty or a QB.
Reed83HOF Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Chris Trapasso @ChrisTrapasso 35s36 seconds ago John Miller is stud run blocker. Gets to 2nd lvl well. Fit for Roman / #Bills. Needs to be more under control as pass blocker. But can start Eric Wood @EWood70 1m1 minute ago My man John Miller!

dezertbill Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) NFL.COM Bottom Line Miller isn't the most nimble athlete at the guard position and he will be limited by scheme fit, but the pure power in his upper body and his hands have scouts excited and there is a belief that he will be better as a pro than he was in college.

PastaJoe Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Guarantee that Sully knows nothing about him. So he'd fit in here.
YoloinOhio Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 @JaySkurski: Whaley on Miller: "Tough, aggressive mauler." ... Says he's the type of offensive lineman Rex Ryan and Greg Roman are looking for.
Reed83HOF Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Jay Skurski @JaySkurski 33s34 seconds ago Whaley has mentioned Miller's intelligence on a couple of occasions during his press conference.
billieve420 Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 If they were fielding calls to trade back I wish they did. Miller is kinda on the smallish side but is strong if he gets his hands on you. However, needs a lot of technique work gets beat a lot. I don't see him starting on opening day. I wish we went tackle instead someone you could move inside if needed. Miller is a strictly a guard and is an ok pick but TJ Clemmings provided better value with 1st round ability.
DC Tom Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Guarantee that Sully knows nothing about him. He knows he slipped in mock drafts. Slipped "horrifyingly," in fact. He's basing his opinion on other people's pretending. Friggin' brilliant.
OldTimer1960 Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Sullivan doesn't like the pick. Big surprise! Sullivan doesn't even like himself. There isn't enough alcohol or drugs in the world to make Jerry entertaining
thebandit27 Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) For anyone that cares, here was my scouting report on Miller: http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/174895-bandits-2015-draft-report-ogs/ It's a few posts down in that thread Edited May 2, 2015 by thebandit27

What he didn't say was that he actually looked at that Mock Draft where Miller fell to 170, and Sully, amazingly, berated every one of the previous 169 picks.
YoloinOhio Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 @viccarucci: Doug Whaley says Miller is the type of OG that Rex Ryan and OC Greg Roman want: "Tough, aggressive maulers that bring attitude."

Sounds Lupoti-esque lmo
Dorkington Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 I like the sound of a power guard. I know nothing of details though, as usual.
