Sheppard was playing end last year, which I'm curious if Miller is more end or nt in our scheme.

Big time talent left in the secondary for the taking and we grab a big ugly. Necessary for the team but god dammit, felt like we could’ve grabbed d line talent in the later rounds

Excellent pick. One of the biggest needs on the team too.

He was likely way higher on board. Always draft the good big man over the little one.

Love this pick. Miller will complement Bresee well. Miller makes up for Breese's deficiencies against the run.

Also, he was first team All-SEC and a multi year starter at UGA. Their track record with d-line is as good as anybody's in the Kirby Smart era.

I love the pick. You build teams inside out and they still have picks. From what I am seeing this draft is deep defensively.

Deep draft for CB. We can get a 3rd rounder to contribute. DT talent supposedly drops off big time soon.
I think last year and this year so far has shown maturity from Loomis.

Was a need, but curious about the pick because of the talent available.

Tells me they have a really high grade on him to pass on Terrell, Cisse, McNeil Warren, Young, etc

Georgia has history making good D lineman.

Agree, but Miller is a talented dude. U think someone like Keionte Scott is a good fit and could be available at 73, or gotten in a slight trade up

We still have Ridgeway, correct? He made a huge difference when playing
