Eddie Lacy and D. J. Fluker, too

Any way this kid drops to 12?
Any way we move up to try and nab him if he falls past 8?

No way he gets to 12. Problem will be there will be a number of teams looking to trade up to get him IMO...like Dallas did last year when they moved up to #6 for Claiborne. Detroit is pretty desperate for a CB and they're sitting there at #5...gonna have to trade up to #4 if you really want to secure this kid in the draft I would say.

I would feel good taking him at 12. To good though somebody gonna swoop this kid up asap.

If he drops to 12 it will make my year.... not happening though

[Canadi-Phin]

If he does great, if he doesn't another pass rusher falls down to us.

All 3 of these guys declaring helps us. I don't think it is too far fetched that Millner makes it to 12. I think Cbssportsline 1st mock has him going 13. This is the guy I want although I think he gets nabbed just before us. Anyway like someone else stated because Him and Lacey will prob go before us, the fact they declared pushes one of the pass rushers down to us.

Eddie Lacy is a nice player (who ran behind the best O-line in college football) but if anyone takes him in the top 11 I would be shocked. Any GM taking this kid that high probably won't be around for long.

lacy helped himself the other night but he didn't help himself enough for any top 12 talk...i don't think he helped himself enough for round 1 but he may go in the top 50 if he runs well...i wouldn't do it though...not that high

i don't really see any dominant back that trumps the rest of the class...

as for milliner i think personally i was more impressed with how tyler eifert looked running down the field on the boundary with milliner across from him than anything else i saw really...not that milliner didn't show well cause he did but to my eye that aren't many te's that you can line up wide on the boundary against a top 20 pick cornerback and them not look slow and stiff...and i thought eifert showed well in that regard...he also used his hands to create separation out of some underneath cuts and i thought showed good ball awareness and tracked the ball well...as a blocker he competed to the whistle and there's no doubt in my mind that kid will not embarrass you as a in line blocker...unlike guys like fauria...who plays quite soft and finesse...

i've had enough of girl tight ends...

[ckparrothead]

There's a flip side to that coin. You get a 6'6" and 250 lbs body on the wing that can run and jump like Eifert can and you throw jump balls to him on the sidelines in single coverage, how many corners are really able to defend that? Especially since so many corners are 5'10" or thereabouts, having an 8 inch disadvantage. To me unless the tight end is slow and unathletic, you're a little more worried about the size mismatch of your corner against that huge and strong of a pass catcher, than you are that your tight end is going to be completely outmatched by a corner because of the corner's speed. Milliner handled it like a champ. To me it was more impressive for the corner than for the tight end.
