1. WR Tre McBride, William & Mary - The clear top prospect at the event. McBride consistently generated separation from corners in one on one drills at a variety of levels with a variety of routes. McBride still came down with contested or acrobatic catches even when covered. He is not locked to one alignment and McBride could even win from the slot.
6. CB Damian Swann, Georgia - My defensive darkhorse for first E-W Shrine attendee selected this spring. Swann’s Georgia tape is a lot of fun to watch, as he flashes extreme aggression for the position, especially when asked to blitz. He absolutely held up in one on ones this week and started to anticipate routes and movements towards the end of the week.
More on Miller:3. G John Miller, Louisville - My offensive darkhorse for first E-W Shrine attendee selected this spring. I really, really like Miller’s game. First, he is powerful on initial contact to stop his opponents’ momentum. Add on an athletic lower half and experience playing both on the left and right side, and I don’t see why Miller won’t contribute as a rookie.

A 34-game starter in his Louisville career, Miller earned second-team All-AAC honors starting all thirteen games at left guard last year as the Cardinals offense put up 35.2 points, and 460.8 yards per contest. While he may lack elite athleticism, Miller demonstrates intelligence, sound technique and toughness in the trenches with enough quickness in a short area to be a reliable pass-protector when asked to slide and mirror interior rushers, and his initial burst off the snap enables him to get to the 2nd level and target efficiently. From a technical standpoint, Miller exhibits good bend in his lower half and is rarely overwhelmed as he keeps his feet moving, resets without wasted motion, and establishes good extension to keep defenders out of his frame. Another mid-round type of prospect who's durability and consistency could make him a terrific pro.
An AFC scout said that he "really [likes]" the power of Louisville senior OG John Miller.
"I really like his power a lot," the scout said. "He's not going to be dynamic outside of his box, but he's got really noticeable power, and that keeps you in the league a long time." Miller is currently impressing scouts at East-West Shrine Game practices. "He won't make sense for teams that like to run stretch plays and get their offensive linemen in space, but Miller flashed plenty of power in his hands and an ability to sit down and anchor against pass rushers in one-on-one drills throughout the morning session," wrote NFL.com's Lance Zeirlein.
