<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) -- Arizona State tight end Zach Miller will forego his senior year and enter the NFL Draft in April.Miller announced his intentions at a campus news conference on Tuesday. His departure is a blow to new head coach Dennis Erickson, hired last month to replace Dirk Koetter, who was fired.A second-team Associated Press All-America selection this season, Miller is the school's all-time leading receiver among tight ends. The Phoenix native led the Sun Devils in receptions (50), receiving yards (484) and touchdown catches (4) this season.Miller broke the school records set by Todd Heap, who also left for the NFL after his junior season. Heap was drafted by Baltimore in the first round of the 2001 draft.Miller started all 35 games he played for Arizona State. His brother, Brent, is a redshirt junior tight end at ASU.</div>He's intruiging. I think maybe last 1st to a team like Saints would make that offense even more explosive although the Saints are probably looking at defense.
In any other year he'd be a mid rounder, but hes being thrust up a non-existant Draft Board at TE this season IMO and will get selected in the Second because of it. Just like the rest of this years 'TE class'.....smart move by him for declaring now though.
Him and Greg Olsen are the only TE's I've heard of (out of the ones in the draft). chang's right about the Saints, but I doubt they'll get him in the 1st.
Greg Olsen went to our school, he's our coach's son, lol.... Anyway I don't really see a TE being needed first round right now by too many teams. There are a lot of teams in need of one, but they have too many other holes to fill. Definitley a 2nd rounder.
Teams would be making a mistake reaching on either him or Olsen in the first. Like Venom said this is an extremely weak class at the tight end positions and teams shouldn't overrate their talent just because the talent level at the position. I think both go in the mid-late second.
