Shareef Miller NFL Draft 2019: Scouting Report for Philadelphia Eagles' Pick

STRENGTHS

—Has all the physical gifts (height, weight and speed) to be a Pro Bowl pass-rusher.

—Can fit into both 3-4 and 4-3 schemes; plays well in space and is comfortable firing out of a three-point stance.

—Can beat opponents with his hands or feet with speed-and-power combination that allows him to alter his pass-rushing plan on the fly.

—Closes on ball-carriers efficiently and is a smooth tackler in space. One of the better players in pursuit from the edge class.

—First-step speed is very good and allows him to make an early impact in the backfield.

WEAKNESSES

—Has to develop the skills to go along with his talent; isn't very technically sound with his hand use and loses early leverage.

—Offensive linemen are able to get under his pads, and he lacks the power to consistently shed them.

—Hips and shoulders can be stiff on the bend.

—Doesn't do any one thing well and will struggle to win in the NFL unless he can develop pass-rushing skills.

OVERALL

Shareef Miller has the size and talent to play in any scheme, which will boost his draft stock. He's also a very coachable player with the desire to succeed at the next level. It wouldn't be a surprise if Miller is a better and more productive NFL player than he was in college.

GRADE: 5.99 (ROUND 3-4 — FUTURE STARTER)
