ESPN's Adam Schefter, "early signs" OLB Von Miller will be a top-five pick

The issue is CAN we put on the weight at all. Ware was a massive guy at 6'4" with massive frame and wingspan. He had the growth potential.

Von Miller is just a smaller guy. He is a couple inches shorter and was 237 at a Senior Bowl weigh in whilst we don't know if Ware was actually on a scale at 232 for the Senior Bowl or not.

I am not saying teams won't like Miller... I am saying I think top 10 pick status is probably overstated and in fact he couldn't play here in Dallas at that size.

We still have the combine and 40 times and overall athleticism will cause some guys to really rise or take falls. We'll see what he shows up at and where eh falls in the list. If he is the smallest OLB on the board I don't suspect he ends up the first taken.

Agreed.

I'm not sure that he can realistically end up any bigger than Victor Butler, who looks to be too small to play on anything other than passing downs.
