If Miller currently weighs 265, that's just proof that guys continue to grow, as his combine weight was 246ish.  I'm not getting that people think that Baun loaded up on water to artificially get heavier.  I host Strength competitions with strict weight divisions, the vast majority of athletes that I know try to manipulate their body weight with water to lose weight, rather than put it on.  

I'm not sure why exactly Baun had that diluted sample, but I really don't buy the angle of "wanting to weigh more".  

On the opinion of selecting an edge rusher at 33, as opposed to taking a WR or other?  Just different points of view.  I've been of the mindset that in a year with a crowded WR class, there will be plenty of depth all the way through the middle rounds, so no need to get one early.
