First off the Pats arn’t getting Larry Fitzgerald, the cards are in talks with him and are coming to a deal once this whole labor argument is over and it is legal to sign him again. Second the cards will pick him up if they get any of the 4 DC’s that they want. This guy is a huge fit for the Cards who need someone now to replace Clark Haggans since Obrian Schofield replaced Joey Porter. Von Miller then in the 3-4 adds all we need for a very talented front 7. Cards if they can get a Veteran will pass for a rookie QB until round 2 where they will probably get Kaepernick.

great the browns switch to a 4-3 just in time to have a complete 3-4 OLB come into the draft around their pick…
typical

How is him absolutely struggling in pass coverage a “stir”?

Considering TE DJ WIlliams has abused him while running routes and Miller hasn’t been close to covering him and playing OLB in the 4-3 at the Senior Bowl he will never be able to rush the passer and has yet to do so, I see this as hardly newsworthy.

Miller is an excellent prospect but he has definitely not been the story of Mobile.

Try Cameron Jordan, Ryan Kerrigan, Titus Young, and a few others before you start writing odes to Von Miller who hasn’t really proven anything in Mobile.

He is more likely a fit for the Bills at 3. They are still trying to implement the 3-4, and with Wannstadt as an ILB coach, he will consult on the LBs and DEF as a whole. The Bills need someone like a Mathews or Orakpo (whom they passed on for Maybin) to help Pos inside and Whitner who has to cheat up to aid in their piss poor run defense. Hopefully they will both be back and adding another stellar LB to go with a hopfully rejuvinated Merriman, this could be another move forward for the Bills.

The Bengals were salivating over this guy until they heard the words “class act”.

WHOOP!

Great to see the Aggies making a dent in the 1st round again after a few down years.

Seanmartin,

I was saying the same thing reading this.

I think he is too small for BB’s liking. Not that we don’t need someone who can get to the QB which TBC doesn’t seem to be able to do.
______________

TBC is irrelevant. They were playing a guy who only played on the team for 3 weeks over TBC at the end of the season. We need a new body in there. TBC should be rotational.

@godofwine330

The difference between Miller and Mamula is that Miller was outstanding in college and came to the Senior Bowl with a first round grade. Mike Mamula was thought of as a second day pick until he ran really fast. Unfortunately for Philly, the Eagles play football instead of running track.

The Pats don’t draft on college reputation.

Do I really need to give an example?

Browns at 6? They need impact players on both sides of the ball, but a legitimate pass rusher would help out the secondary.

The Patriots won’t be able to get him after they trade one of their ones and twos for Larry Fitzgerald…perhaps the Cardinals will get him…

According to the Boston Globe, he has yet to impress at the Senior Bowl practices…

He doesn’t have “Patriot” written all over him since he’s a top 10 pick. Hopefully Dallas is paying attention, though, but based on how they draft that’s doubtful.

If the guy shows the ability to drop back in coverage and still shows he has upside to progress as a complete backer…won’t slip past the Lions at #13. At that size, if he can cover he’ll fit on the strong side perfect in Detroit’s scheme.

Mayock says he has one of the finest “bubble butts” he’s ever seen. Mike has him going right behind Inez Sainz in the 2011 draft.

Agreed Richman.
He likely needs to bulk up a teeny bit for OLB though.
