I agree Brennan 100%. Miller is a prototypical 3-4 rusher. His talents would be wasted in a 4-3 to a certain degree.

There isn’t much of a challenge at the top for linebackers besides Akeem Ayers from UCLA, so just like Blaine Gabbert ranked as the top quarterback, I think he might be a product of hype and thin depth in the draft. He didn’t have much of an impact in the Cotton Bowl against LSU and still struggles sometimes in coverage. I think he would fit much better in a 3-4 defense as more of a pass rusher or Lamar Woodley type after recording 28 sacks in the last two seasons. I think he would be a great pick by the Cardinals, the Titans or the Texans and would make an immediate impact with those teams but I’m not sure if he would make as much of a difference from day one if he was used more in coverage or in a 4-3.
