LB Miller to Visit Bills

WGR550's Joe Buscaglia reported earlier this week (via ESPN.com) that Texas A&M linebacker Von Miller is scheduled for a two-day visit with the Bills, beginning today. Miller is almost certainly going to be a top ten pick, and Bills head coach Chan Gailey has had some experience with the outside linebacker. Gailey coached Miller at the 2011 Senior Bowl, where he recored four tackles, two of which went for a loss.

While Miller is easily the best pass-rushing linebacker available, I would be slightly surprised if the Bills used the third overall pick on him. Arthur Moats had a solid second half to his rookie season and the team put a good deal of money into re-signing Shawne Merriman. Additionally, Chris Kelsay still figures to start at outside linebacker in Buffalo's 3-4 defense. Should the Bills give a 4-3 look, Kelsay may move to defensive end, but I still don't believe outside linebacker is an immediate need. However, if Gailey and GM Buddy Nix feel that Miller is the best player available at three, they will take him. Personally, I think the pick might be better served as a defensive lineman like Marcell Dareus, Nick Fairley, or Da'Quan Bowers.

A note to consider, however, this picture was released during Senior Bowl week.

Buscaglia also notes that Miller has a visit set up with the Cleveland Browns, who own the sixth pick in the draft. Here is a link to Buscaglia's report: http://wgr550.com/Report--LB-Von-Miller-to-Visit-Bills/9396749.
