Von Miller is like Orakpo coming out. Some GM's love him and think he's worth a top 5 pick, others think he's a good prospect but overrated. I know that the naysayers think he's undersized at 237 pounds and theres some criticism about how he played so few plays compared to other starters with his prestige at the college level. GM's are eager to find out if he was taking himself out or if the coaches noticed problems with his conditioning and/or durability.

He's certainly not viewed as the Andrew Luck of Linebackers.

Good point. Yeah I remember Rak as high as 3 in the 2009 mocks. So I take back my post..... I guess you never know. It's a tough draft. We need every position pretty much. Miller is my choice if there. Then Green

thanks for the dirt on Miller, Dirt. since watching the sr. bowl, I've been wondering when I was going to hear someone talk about his size. I thought he looked very light. Have read that he plays the run well, but I would think some scouts question his every down ability as you mention.

If conditioning is his only issue, Shanny will take him in a heartbeat. All other indications are the kid is a model citizen & coachable.

may have a shot at Jake Locker.if not,offensive linemen.

I actually just watched my first footage on Von Miller and was surprised at the amount of hype he's getting. Constantly running up field past plays and a lack of explosivness for a guy his size were two of my main concerns. All to often it seemed like Tackles were taking him out of running plays.

Quinn on the other hand reminded me more of Orakpo before the draft as he seems to have that bull rush down and is very explosive off the ball. That bull rush is so important to because it allows players to defend both the run and pass at the same time.

I feel like I'm missing key footage of Miller as he couldn't have won the Butkis Award playing in the manner I just described.
