2. Harlan Miller

From Southeastern Louisiana, Miller is a corner with great hands. According to what head coach Bruce Arians told azcentral.com Miller is faster than two of the game’s top corners in Seattle Seahawks corner Richard Sherman and Washington Redskins corner Josh Norman if you look at their numbers.

That is one of the things Arians was looking for after a disappointing playoffs from the corner position.  Get fast and get taller in the defensive secondary.  Miller is 6’0, a couple of inches taller than departed cornerback Jerraud Powers.

Scouts called Miller the best defensive back at the Senior Bowl earlier this year.  This is more than one expert calling Miller the best pick of the Cardinals draft.

Both Pro Football Focus and ESPN’s Todd McShay called Miller the Cardinals best pick.  He could turn out to be another steal.  Time will tell on that but he is definitely someone to watch over the next month and also in training camp.
