How come?

Oh, I guess he’s been hurt. I didn’t realize that. Thanks for bringing it up.

Why? Gabriel is a Z burner, and I think Miller will probably work out of the slot. No?

VA_Mountain_Bear · Fri Apr 27, 2018 8:16 pm

Miller apparently can play inside, outside, and slot. I don't think this pic is directly related to White, I just think they are looking for the best WR corp they can make around Mitch. If anyone, I think this pic is more of a threat to Gabriel next year and on.

I like the player a lot from what I read, but I really wish we had gone with Landry, Carter, or another edge. However, if Miller becomes a starter for us I will love it.

I like it. Only concerns are he’s 24 and periodically has the drops. Should be a good fit for the offense though.

As for next year’s pick... it will be #64 anyway, so not a huge deal.

That’s fucking ridiculous. They know they can’t count on him at all. If he does break out great - but this has everything to do with his injury history and nothing to do with the work he’s putting in.

Agree...let's not write White off, but let's not bank on him. This pick has nothing to do with his ability, it's all about his health and adding depth.

Miller and White are also two different types of players.

Right. We knew they needed to still address the position anyway. It's about adding as much talent as possible to make it through the year. White will always be a question mark until he isn't. Robinson is a lock and Gabrielle will have his role. it will be interesting to see a camp battle between white and Miller. l look forward to see it pan out.

Real sorry for the "lazy" post. Come on dude, really? I was making a weak joke and was replying to someone else. Not you. Instead of worrying about other people's conversations why don't you just enjoy a nice looking draft.

The “White breaks everything” trope is tired. And takes away from a nice looking draft.

Miller reminds me so much of Jarvis Landry..with better deep play ability.

Right? It’s like all the good parts of ODB and Landry in one guy.

Mikefive · Fri Apr 27, 2018 10:19 pm

So do we think Miller starts right away over White and Gabriel?

That would be pretty awesome to get 3 day 1 starters before we get to R4. (Apologies to our traded 2019 R2 pick.)

cblaz11 · Fri Apr 27, 2018 10:22 pm

I think we have competition and depth now. Does he start right away, not sure, but he definitely contributes right away. I think we see a lot of sets with Robinson, Gabriel, and Miller on the field together.

This
Yeah I'm going to third this. Nagy looked at every WR in this draft (Pace's words) and then we made this move to get this kid. They wanted him, badly, and they would rather trade next year's second to get him in the offense with Mitch now than wait a year.

You see his hand size? Jesus fucking Christ.

Back to the road, enjoy the night dudes!

NFL Network reported that the Bears were trying to trade up for Calvin Ridley. They obviously wanted a WR badly in this draft.

I think from a depth chart standpoint it’s Robinson, Gabriel, Miller, White.

Which will get tested often. If Nagy runs his offense the way HE wants to. There will be several 3 and 4 WR sets.

SC Bear · Fri Apr 27, 2018 10:55 pm

IMO this is a special player. So far three outstanding picks in what I believe will be remembered as a great draft. My guess is that Gabriel, Grasu will be gone next year netting $10.0 in cap. If White's injury trend continues that is another 5.0, although I hope that he makes it this year and in the future

docc · Fri Apr 27, 2018 10:58 pm

I like this draft.. Pace and the coaches seem to have a direction Bears never did before..

Excited to see how this develops..

GSH · Fri Apr 27, 2018 11:28 pm

any chance this miller can wear #86 at the WR position? might save a few hombres some pesetos

The Marshall Plan · Sat Apr 28, 2018 5:11 am

I love this pick but don't like that we gave up a fourth this year and a second next year to get it done. I really liked that we had two fourths because I was hoping we'd address OL there. Even after the Daniels pick I was hoping for an OL in the fourth.

There's also no guarantees that this means anything about White although I think for him it's just a matter of how big of a bust he'll be. Not retaining Meredith forced our hand into needing to draft a WR.

Everybody likes to do the whole this player reminds me of that guy thing, but I see Miller and I think Steve Smith. I'm not saying he'll be as good, although he could be you never know, but that's what his game remind me of.

With GB drafting two CBs with their first two picks, is their plan to start those guys week 1? If so, have fun with that against AR15, Gabriel and Miller. I'm guessing Nagy can scheme that shit all day long.

The Bears didn't give up a fourth and a second for this pick. The Bears gave up a fourth round pick to get an advance on next year's second round pick.

Yeah, that's the way I see it. If it's a guy they really like why not? If your really looking to surround your young QB with talent is not a bad plan. Why wait?

Even better= Next year's 2nd round pick has a 3rd round value This draft.

Mikefive · Sat Apr 28, 2018 8:51 pm

I find the trade interesting... If we suck and it's a top 10 #2, that's a bad deal because we'll obviously NEED that top 40 pick to get better. If we're a playoff team, good deal for us and we'll be able to live without it. It's like Ryan Pace is betting on ourselves here. And Anthony Miller MUST be a part of it.

Pace once again proves that right or wrong, he doesn't lack for cajones.
