When the juniors are added in, Miller drops, he is a top 25 pick at worse, most likely a top 15 at best. At number 11, I would grab him if we are going to a 3-4.
If Paea weighs in under 300 then he is a 3-4 DE and as such an unlikely pick for us, we appear loaded with 3-4 DE types.
One good thing about Wade Philips version of the 3-4 is he runs a one gap system for the DEs. That means it is more about penetration and attaching the line verses the more familiar tie up the blocker type system that Nick Fangio ran while here, BTW his Stanford defense had a pretty nice season this year. A guy we might want to target in the 3rd round from Stanford is NT Sione Fua.
