RUMOR IS WE ARE INTERESTED IN BRAXTON MILLER.

[davos]

Word is Cincy and Houston have their eyes on him in the 1st.  I thought I saw it's somewhere are ~5 teams that view him as a first rounder (and that would be at the least).  

I think he's an interesting as hell offensive prospect.  He did spend an entire season at that WR/Back type role so it's not like he's making the transition for the big leagues.  He's claimed he's been studying Antonio Brown's play for a while and looks to that as his model.  He also made some big strides so the "project" people are saying is less than most who made the transition. He's more on par with Cobb IMO NFL ready wise than a Randle El was.

lol nope

I first thought about Joe Adams given the position change but Miller is 2 inches taller, 15 lbs heavier and ran a 4.4 40 compared to Adam's 4.55. I wouldn't want another project who may just struggle to find a spot on the team.

he's a gigantic risk/reward I think Gettleman would much rather sit on a big guy for the D-lilne in the 2nd

It's true we've met with him. So yes, we are probably interested. Doesn't mean we are crazy about him or that's he's "our guy". No need to overreact. 

Pretty much this.  Even with the "scary" interest guys...you can only take anything with a grain of salt pre-draft. 

Although, I remember that really long Funchess thread last season where many people were against the idea.  Igo responded in it about not being surprised if he was our second rounder and look what happened.  So I guess some people get correct intel sometimes lol :/

We're looking for a slot receiver? How about a #2? We have like 3 guys that can play slot already.

Not a good combo .. fast and frail ..

All I needed to know about the kids skill though is watching the Virginia Tech game

you either get good Braxton or bad Braxton...doesnt seem like there is a middle... he had durability issues at OSU....

 

[Jase]

Because he's a big name, some team (browns?) will trade up and overdraft him in the late first.  Hey, maybe we can trade number 30 to them.

[TheNewStandard]

I'm just going with an emphatic "no" on this one.

I said several weeks ago that Miller will be a Panther one way or another.

Funchess is #2, who can happen to play any spot

He's a 24 year old project. Generally that's a bad combination and you definitely shouldn't be drafting guys like that in the 1st.

You think he is that much of a project? The games I watched of him as a WR, he seemed pretty damn comfortable. No question he is an elite playmaker too.

I know the scenarios were different, but KB had that "raw" label put on him as well. 

I think Funch and KB outside with Brax in the slot sounds very appealing.

This is one OSU kid I don't want to see us draft in the first 2 rounds but we have picked up quite a few alumni of late.
