Von Miller to meet with Bills Wed & Thur

Per ESPN:

Sources said Von Miller will meet with the Buffalo Bills on Wednesday and Thursday, as well as hold a two-day visit with the Cleveland Browns on April 11-12. Miller is widely considered this year's top linebacker prospect.

Miller is also part of the NFLPA's lawsuit against the league that includes high-profile players Tom Brady and Peyton Manning. There is some speculation about whether Miller could be blackballed by owners and teams, which would hurt his draft stock. But that doesn't appear to be the case, as Buffalo (No. 3 overall) and Cleveland (No. 6) both hold top picks in the first round.

Miller wowed scouts at the NFL combine with his athleticism and recently ran a blazing 4.49 40-yard dash during his pro day at Texas A&M. The senior recorded 68 tackles, 11 sacks and an interception for the Aggies last season.

While V-Mills appears to be shooting up draft boards after the combine and Senior Bowl he still seems like a tweener to me. Is he an inside linebacker, can he play the edge in our "hybrid" 3-4 defense, is he a game changer? 6'3 246 doesn't seem all that big (Aaron Maybin is 6'4 250 by comparison). While picking CB Patrick Peterson @3 would be much worse, Miller doesn't excite me that high in this draft.

The Bills front seven needs to be address if they don't love Cam Newton or Blaine Gabbert (his pro day is Thursday 3/17). While drafting V-Mills would address the situation, it would not be the ideal selection. It is basically a lock that Newton will be gone top three so that would then mean that Marcell Darius or Nick Fairley are still on the board. True Fairley measured much smaller at the combine and that could be hurting his stock, but if you have any doubts about his ability to make an impact go rewatch the BCS Championship.

Overall Von Miller isn't a deal breaker although he would be more ideal a bit further back in the draft. Then again I am of the opinion that it is extremely difficult to move back in the draft unless you are willing to take lesser value to move out. I say who cares, take a little less to move somewhere between 6-9, get mocked by the talking heads but pick up another much needed selection perhaps on day two. Two birds one stone baby.
