But I can't help but think what he could be if he puts it all together.

Look at these numbers
6'3.7"
307lbs
5.09 40
32 reps
35.5 " vert
8'9" broad

6'3.4"
294lbs
4.87 40
28 reps
35" vert
9'8" broad

The first is Suh at the combine the second Nkempoop. He easily has one of the highest ceilings out of anybody in the draft.

As for Braxton. That is why I think getting Lafell locked up would be nice. Lets us break a rookie in slow. Give Braxton 5-6 touches a game get creative with him while he refines his WR skills. While LaFell handles most of the WR reps for the first half of the year. Hopefully by midseason he is ready to take on more.

I know Nkemdiche has a ton of talent and have been following him since he was the top recruit coming out of high school. I just think if you are going to take a character risk you have to at least wait until the 2nd round at the earliest to do it. I wouldn't hate the pick because the team could certainly use another talented Defensive Tackle to keep Peko from being trotted out on the field for 2 or 3 more years but it would be a high risk situation for sure. I am a huge Braxton fan just always worried about him staying healthy with his injury history all the way back to when he was at Wayne. Now that is a Wide Receiver instead of a running Quarterback he might not get hurt as often but the injury history is still there. I just think if we end up with a choice between someone like Tyler Boyd or Michael Thomas and Braxton Miller that we should choice the better Wide Receiver for next season at that would be Boyd or Thomas while we are so close to a Super Bowl caliber team. I will admit that this draft would still have me excited but I would be nervous at the same time...lol
