Lot of talent on the DL in that draft. especially at the top

Von Miller
Aldon Smith
JJ Watt




Plus guys like Dareus, Quinn, Kerrigan, Clayborn (good rookie year) pretty deep draft.

True, but so far Miller, Smith and Watt are just sick. Could be DL version of 2004 or 83 QB's.

Miller is a linebacker isn't he?

he's a pass rusher. regardless of his official label, he's a lineman (i do think they run the 4-3 this year)

He doesn't rush the passer more than any other weakside linebacker, he's just really good at it.

a 3-4 rush LB is closer to a traditional DL than a traditional LB. i think miller is a DE this year ina 4-3 though

Miller plays weakside OLB for Denver, and I'm sure he has played with his hand in the dirt in rushing situations. He was in the top 10 runstopping LBs by PFF a few weeks back too.

Jarvis Jones and Anthony Barr could be looking at the same positions in a 4-3. Akeem Ayers from Miller's class does it too in Tennessee.

One day Miller, Smith, Watt, and Dareus need to form a Super DL. Near lord that wouldn't even be fair.

I've seen Miller playing on the line, all are pass rushers.
