After four years in college, Blake Miller is ready to take the next leap up to the NFL. Miller, who spent all four years at Clemson, has a solid chance that his next place will be his home for the next decade. Of course, he needs to play it out and prove himself once he gets in.
However, he appears to have done enough to cross that line and will get an opportunity. The question is where that opportunity will take place. Here’s a look at the three best landing spots for the offensive tackle prospect.
Blake Miller Logical Landing Spots
#3 – Cincinnati Bengals
The Cincinnati Bengals are in a desperate situation in which one more significant injury to Joe Burrow might knock the franchise back to square one. As such, Cincinnati cannot afford to allow pressure to get to the quarterback. Miller is in line to be reliable and willing to do the dirty work, according to an AFC regional scout via NFL media.
“It wasn’t surprising that he played in (Clemson’s) bowl game because he doesn’t opt out of anything or miss any games. Has a team-first mindset,” the scout said.
#2 – Cleveland Browns
The Cleveland Browns have two first-round picks, allowing the franchise to make a pick that might not be the most exciting option, but could have the most immediate impact to help the offense. The quarterback situation is far from ironed out, but no quarterback has hope if he ends up getting pelted in the backfield from the side routinely.
If Cleveland spends one of its first-round picks on something like a quarterback or a receiver, the team could then draft the offensive tackle and avoid sparking any panic of knee-jerk reactions from passionate fans.
#1 – Philadelphia Eagles
The Philadelphia Eagles have their quarterback situation figured out for 2026, so spending a first-round pick on a tackle makes sense. Lane Johnson is entering his mid-30s, so the Eagles can choose to be a year early or a year late in finding his replacement.
Now might be the best time at No. 23, leaving the second round for a receiver to fill in for the heavily rumored A.J. Brown departure. Blake Miller wouldn’t be moving relatively far from his college either, remaining on the East Coast, which could lead to bigger buy-in.
