I don't know for sure but I would guess LT if Penn can't go since that is where he played in college. It's about getting the best 5 ready IMO.

agarcia34 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Wouldn't surprise me at all if Kolton was the week one starter at LT and this has nothing to do with the Penn drama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Penn still has a lot left in the tank and can beat out a top ranked rookie for at least half the season, if not the entire season. As long as he's healthy. Very few LT's can step into the league and be great from day one. Caveat, if Penn is healthy I'm thinking he plays at the same level he played at 2 years ago.

SilverNBlackFan Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Just realized Kolton Miller went to the high school 10 minutes away from where I live. I'm fully on board with the pick now he's going to be a stud ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always nice having local products making the league, let alone your favorite team. We have two in Vanderdoes and Miller. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaidersAreOne Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Is anyone else pumped about the news of keeping him at LT? Initially I was all about him being our RT day one, but keeping him at one position, keeping things simple and learning from a very good pro in Penn is EXACTLY what he needs. Most people didn't think he was a day-one starter and allowing him to learn the ropes for one year/half a season is incredible for him imo.

If you drafted him and Penn is your LT, then why not let him learn the RT spot starting out? Curious if anything to see how it unfolds. Sitting your round 1 pick when you have some many needs for an immediate starter also is a gut punch. TC will be fun this offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penn just isn't healthy and they clearly like Miller on the blindside more than Parker at the moment but like the coaches and the players have said this is how they are rolling now (in mini camp) and it may change later due to any # of factors. I think trying to put meaning on this is pretty foolish as we are so far from even camp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm as skeptic as @big_palooka when it comes to good ole Kolton but I don't really make anything of this. I'm not even sure its worth tripping over if its more of the same in training camp. Whatever the best move is for him developing. We're stuck with him so whatever is best for him is best for every one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickButera Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 At least Miller and Parker get to practice against mack and Irvin every week. Should help their development. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've watched most of his games now and I feel a little bit better about the pick. I would say most of his games fall into a few categories. Sometimes he is just plain bad. He looks unbalanced and too defensive. Slow to use his hands and lacking aggression and giving defenders too much time. Sometimes he looks ugly, but he kinda gets the job done and then he has a few good games where he seems in control and balanced in pass pro and active and aggressive against the run. The thing that I came away feeling is that developing his mentality is going to be important as well as improving his technique. The physical pieces and some of the skills are there, but to unlock his potential he has to be aggressive and on the front foot. Too many times he looks passive and almost apprehensive to attack the defender. Hopefully working next to KO can give him a bit of nasty. Really interested to see how he develops and I think he is so polarising because genuinely nobody has any clue how good or bad he's gonna be.
