John Miller just finished off the week with an excellent showing in the East-West Shrine game (personally thought he was the best player on the field):
Quote:
2. Interior O-lineman is impressive. Mayock on G John Miller (Louisville): "He plays with great base and power in the run game." Later, Mayock said "his upside for me is as a starting guard in the NFL." Miller (6-3, 315) was a four-year starter who never redshirted for the Cardinals, and he is a mauler in the run game. Jeremiah was asked on Twitter about a round projection for Miller and answered "3rd/4th."

Quote:
John Miller was a man among boys at the Shrine Game.
It started in a week of practice, where the East offensive lineman made fools of a lot of really good prospects when he was manned up with them in teamwork. Then, in the game against a much lighter West defensive line, Miller looked like he was ready for prime time in every sense of the phrase.
The Louisville guard is definitely headed to an NFL city near you.
You'll be more than lucky if it just happens to be on your favorite team.
At 6'3", 315 pounds, according to the Shrine Game weigh-in, he's definitely playing guard at the next level and likely on the right side in most NFL schemes as he almost always played on the strong side of the formation in college and is more polished as a run-blocker right now.
Before the game, NFL Network's Mike Mayock said that a fantastic week of practices raised Miller's stock to the third round, and while I agree with his sentiments, I'm not sure it was far enough. Frankly, in a weak guard class, Miller may be a second-rounder if his offseason keeps going this well.

Actually, that second quote is incorrect as Miller has anchored the left guard position for the Cardinals for the past four years where he started as a true freshman.
Most likely improved his draft stock by a round or so with his play and practice at the Shrine Game this week.
