Ryan Miller @ NFL Combine



Overview


There will be discussions whether or not to move Miller outside to tackle or keep him inside at guard, his primary college position. This debate revolves around Miller's size, much like last year's first round pick at OT, Nate Solder. Given Miller's solid athletic ability and size, a move to the outside seems imminent. Miller would need to learn the position after spending the past two years inside, but he could transition well with his talent and versatility. Look for Miller to be selected early on as a result of his size, athletic ability and versatility on the line; he could go as early as the late first round, but most likely will settle in nicely in the second round.

Analysis


Strengths


Miller did everything well on the front line for Colorado as he is able to come off the ball quickly and bend well despite his immense height. In the parts of three years he spent at tackle, he sustained on his blocks well and often finishes through the play.

Weaknesses


Some will consider Miller a tweener and wonder if there is a hidden aspect to his ability that made him play inside despite prototypical tackle size. He is a bit of a slow mover and will take some time to develop if moved outside to tackle.

Wow. Late first rounder? Early second? :wow:

Good job, Ryan. Nice to see the bench #'s.


My crystal ball seems to be broken. I have no idea what round this guy will be drafted in.
 
I actually expected his numbers to look better at the combine. I am still thinking 3rd at best. I also don't see how anyone is projecting him as an OT when he couldn't even win the job at CU where we were desperate for good OL play at RT last year.
