I've been saying this all along I would love to draft him

He'll be the next Sammy Baugh ;) I really like him.

At this point I'd really like to trade down or out of the first.. Load up on picks.. I don't see any player at 10 making an impact right away.. Miller will be gone and so will Peterson and Prince. As for qb YUCK! Locker's stock is falling fast I've heard and Gabbert will be gone before we pick.

If Miller is gone I think this makes the most sense. Minimize the risk of taking a qb by taking one later in the 1st or early 2nd.

I'd rather load up else where with an eye for taking a qb next season unless someone falls to us that would just be silly to pass on. I'd be interested in taking someone like Mitch Mustain in the 6th or 7th round or as a UDFA. With all the hype he had going into college, it would be nice to see what he has to offer at the combine/pro day.

Not necessarily. Everyone said the same thing about Orakpo. I think if teams ahead of us don't make stupid reaches for players they want, like with Oakland taking Darius Heyward-Bey at #7, REALLY!?!, then he won't be there. But I'm not so certain teams won't reach for a certain need like they did last year. I'd love to have Miller. I've been pulling for him since the beginning of talk about this year's draft class.

i hear aldon smith from mizz is picking up a lot of steam

Miller is great, but is he a little on the small side? He looked like a strong safety in the sr. bowl.

While I would love to see another great OLB on this D, I would rather have more quality picks. As usual, this team is faced w/a draft lacking picks in the high value rounds w/no 3rd or 4th. Either way, if Miller falls like you mention above, it's good for us, either we take him or it increases the likelihood of a trading partner.

Very true. I think it is more important to have size at the ILB position than outside in a 3-4 due to ILB having to take on interior linemen. The OLB doesn't have to be as big IMO because he will often be in coverage, therefore a need to be faster, or rushing the QB on the edge.

I think we do need more picks but I think Miller would be perfect in this system as he is both a great rusher and good in coverage. If he is not there then I am definitely with the trade back to get more picks group. You have to realize though, there may be no one wanting to trade and you might have to take someone.

I just hope if we can't trade out at #10 we don't take a QB. I think that would be a reach as there is so much defensive talent that is more worthy of #10 pick than any QB in this draft IMO.

Actually, Miller at 9 would probably benefit the Cowboys, as someone would trade with them to avoid us taking him. Somehow, they are gonna screw our draft up :madani:

I have totally been thinking of that too. Not just w/Miller per se, but anybody that might be on the board. JJ likes to trade back a la the tuna.
