R2, P51: Anthony Miller, WR - Memphis

[mmmc_35]

What the hell is going on!! I had to pull over at a taco bell truck stop so I could get caught up with all the action!

Oh the Bears drafted Anthony "Shorter Cam Meredith" Miller.

This tells me that, all of the work that White is putting in, is going to go for nothing. It's possible that Nagy, or Pace have looked at his techniques/speed/quickness and decided that, even if he DOES stay healthy, he's not going to be a long term answer at the position. They are clearly cutting bait with him after this year.

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.

Sorry if I was unclear. That's not what I meant. I was just saying that Pace or Nagy have looked at White, and even if he does stay healthy, they are not encouraged by what they see. They know they can't count on him to stay healthy, but even if he was healthy for the entire 2018 season, they don't think he has the skills to be a successful receiver in the NFL. That's all I'm saying.

OK, OK. I get it. Jeez.

Miller has 10 5/8" hands for a guy that's less than 6' tall. WOW! Those are some huge mitts for a guy his size.

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!

This pick admittedly makes me dislike the Gabriel signing a bit.

Dam, cancelling my Bennie Fowler jersey order.

Well, at least wait till after training camp.... White might fracture his leg stretching in warmups....

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

[Bears Whiskey Nut]

This pick admittedly makes me dislike the Gabriel signing a bit.

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

[VA_Mountain_Bear]

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.

[BR0D1E86]

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.

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.

[wab]

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

Whatever man, I'm not here to have lame fights on the boards. Get over yourself. Done with this....

[wab]

Cool

[cblaz11]

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]

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]

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.

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.
