Kolton Miller spits in the eye of the best player available (BPA) draft mantra. Draft pundits collectively gasped when the then-Oakland Raiders made the offensive tackle out of UCLA the No. 15 overall pick of the 2018 NFL Draft.
Panned as a reach and widely identified as not the best player available when the Raiders were on the clock, Miller’s rocky rookie season didn’t help matters. Of course, that was because injuries effectively made Miller a rookie left tackle playing on one leg, but the no-mercy NFL world didn’t care. He was the 15th overall pick and he wasn’t living up to expectations.
