The Raiders haven’t used the tight end much the last few years in the offense, but that is about to change.  Zach Miller has good size at 6′4″, 255 pounds.  Miller also is a good blocker in the running game, but he doesn’t have great speed (4.8 40).  Still, Miller is a warrior and he plays hard every down.  While he can’t run away from defensive players, he is a really good receiver that should help out the Raiders QBs as he does most of his work over the middle and he has excellent hands.  In 35 games (all starts) at Arizona State, Miller has caught 144 passes for 1,512 yards (10.5 avg) with 14 TD grabs.  Miller should be a starter from day #1 for the Raiders and he was a very solid pick.
