sounds great except for the fact the he actually ran slow. i think the texans are trying to pump him up so that somebody takes him early and texans real target falls.

They love Miller, and like what they saw from Coleman and have shown the most interest in Leonte Carroo and they're gonna draft Hackenberg ... so really none of these media experts/analysts know ****!
If you asked Smith and McNair and OB who they were targeting ...... You would get three different answers.
didnt Bill Obrien comment on how they will get together. each of them evaluate the talent on their own and then they get together on draft night to compare notes/evualations... LOL- crazy structure
I can't say how excited I am for this pick. Steal of the draft. Told you O'Brien would love the guy. Swiss army knife.
I just didn't think he'd last till our second pick, even. I would have been happy if we took him in the second. In the third? You're kidding me... He'll touch the ball probably 75-100 times this year in the return game, slot, wildcat, etc, combined. He's a big play threat on any of those plays. In that sense, he's better value than Fuller even.
Only a moron would prefer Miller to Coleman. Go watch Miller's combine tape- he dropped everything thrown to him.
I haven't had a chance to sit and share my thoughts on the first three picks of the draft so far. So here they go: Speed kills. This is the best first three rounds of a draft I think this team has ever had, at least judging from day one. It's not just the Miller pick that has me so excited, it's Fuller THEN Miller. The two, picked together, is an absolutely brilliant move. Then, sandwiched between them, you replaced your biggest loss of the off season, with someone who I feel is a better player than the guy you lost. Brilliant. There are those that will complain that we haven't filled our defensive holes, and yeah, maybe we should have. In reality, this team was a top half defense last year, and we've only really lost one contributor. Someone who I think didn't contribute a lot anyways. Making an assumption, I'm thinking Crick will be covered by a MOX of Clowney with his hand in the dirt, and Covington, and that excites me. When Clowney plays with his hand down, you still have Merciless, Simon, Cushing, and McKinney. This is a good group. I'm still rooting for the drafting of either Scooby Wright or Tyler Matakevitch, though, for depth. I feel either one could start eventually, too. As far as Fuller and Miller being genius together, here's why: There's no point of having a guy like Miller without another guy to take the top off the D. Think about it. Split them to the same side an run a reverse to Miller with Fuller streaking. When that safety bites, Fuller is open deep. When he stays with Fuller, Miller has the quickness to get an easy 12 yards most plays. Run them deep on the same side, and that safety is in decision mode, big time. None of this takes into account Hopkins either. Just lining up Miller at QB on third and short or medium with Fuller and Hopkins split out gets me giddy. O'Brien knows what he's doing. He pretty much always has. The guy is a great coach. He's finally getting his chess pieces. This draft has been brilliant so far. He knows his defense is fine, and he's still pissed his team couldn't score in the playoffs. Now he's fixing that. He's fixed that to the nines. This team is ready. Now, some names I'd love to hear today Hassan Ridgway, Jalen Mills, Jayron Kearse, Beau Sandland, Tyler Matakevitch, Scooby Wright. Let's go address some of those defensive holes.
Percy was the fastest man in pads I've ever seen. Hoping Miller can be Percy 2.0 as some other posters are noting. I want to see some Jet Sweep play action to Fuller down field ala Chiefs Smith to Maclin.
I like the receivers we've gotten over the last two years (except strong) but that's now 8 picks used for WRs in last two drafts. Granted a few were low picks for trading up
I actually like Braxton Miller in the 3rd round but not after getting Fuller. Both have questions about their hands; Miller mostly because he hasn't played the position as much. Hopkins Fuller Shorts Strong Miller Mumphrey Shorts and Strong can't be too happy
