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.
Holy Shit - We got Justin Fields!

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.Hiphopopotamos wrote:Bears Whiskey Nut wrote:This tells me that, all of the work that White is putting in, is going to go for nothing.

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.wab wrote:ThisHiphopopotamos wrote:Bears Whiskey Nut wrote:This tells me that, all of the work that White is putting in, is going to go for nothing.

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?wab wrote:This pick admittedly makes me dislike the Gabriel signing a bit.

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.

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.

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.cblaz11 wrote:Hiphopopotamos wrote:Bears Whiskey Nut wrote:This tells me that, all of the work that White is putting in, is going to go for nothing.

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 wrote:Don’t make lazy posts.

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

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.)

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.
