Intrigue - WR Anthony Miller

[EL ROCKSTEADY]

As an average fan relying on the media for information leading up to the draft, I never heard of this guy at all. Not even once. For the Bears to go as far as trading next year's #2 for a guy considered to be a slot guy, Pace and company had to have thought highly of him. I'll take it further and say they traded up for someone whom is probably not going to be that #1 WR in the traditional sense. I think this speaks to the shift in mentality. Going back to last year and drafting Cohen, I hope Miller has a similar impact, or I should say I hope the Bears know what they are doing. :yep:

I'm surprised no one heard of him. Dude's a baller.

 

[Gustavus Adolphus]

I bet OP probably didn't even do a mock draft.

Listen, buddy.

 

[EL ROCKSTEADY]

I bet OP probably didn't even do a mock draft.

I did one, only one pick and I had Bears picking Barkley.

 

[Gustavus Adolphus]

I did one, only one pick and I had Bears picking Barkley.

I was kidding.

 

[dabears70]

I was kidding.

I don't believe it

If you're relying on media for your draft prospect talk, what WRs did you even hear about?

Here's a highlight reel to get you hyped, because the kid can ball.

There were some who considered him to be the best or 2nd best WR prospect in this draft. His production was off the charts and he certainly plays fast. I think if he can process the playbook that he has a big year.

The best quote I heard from the media was "When the Bears jumped up to draft Miller, there was a collective groan in the war rooms". People wanted him bad. One of my favorite draft picks. His attitude should bring much needed leadership to the WR corp. Mix him with AR and I think you have two capt like personalities out there. We haven't had that in... forever.

He is a couple of inches short of a top 10 overall pick. But I heard nothing of him before the draft. I don't believe there was any mention of him on this board. I did not see him in any mocks. We love him now and that is whats important.

People loved him on this board before the draft.

Most were looking for a WR to be drafted in rd 1 or 2 (with our given pick), or then later in the draft in rd 4-7. Not many saw Miller as one of THE top WRs in the draft, so he wasn't linked to us.

Pace/Nagy had other ideas...

He was talked about plenty of times on here especially by me and i think it was bears26 and Mitchapalooza who also loved him but i know i was all over this kid. You graded our draft a C so you obviously don't like him.

I'm not gonna go crazy searching but i was all about the kid and plenty of others were as well.

 

[Mitchapalooza]

Not to mention Wild Card has been hyping him up for some time as well.

IIRC Wild Card was all over himself after the pick.

There were lots of people here who liked him before the draft. I saw plenty of Kirk and Miller fans

I may, or may not have had an orgasm. It may have felt good.

 

[BaBaBlacksheep]

Anyone who didn't hear of him before the draft simply wasn't paying attention. I don't say that to be snarky, but it's just the facts. He was mentioned many times by many people.

Who are these people?
