And while it seems unlikely Miller <a href=\"https:\/\/bloggingdirty.com\/colts-may-threaten-to-steal-falcons-top-draft-target-right-out-from-under-them-01kpbdaq5mfs\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">would drop all the way to pick 48<\/a>, he&#8217;s still a dream draft target for the Falcons.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5k\">As one of the best defensive tackle prospects in this draft class, the 21-year-old would provide the Falcons elite value in the middle of Round 2. But he clearly <a href=\"https:\/\/bloggingdirty.com\/christen-miller-s-telling-post-pro-day-message-may-hint-at-falcons-draft-strategy-01km60p14pqq\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">isn&#8217;t lacking in the confidence department<\/a>, as his latest comments would suggest that Miller believes whoever drafts him will win the NFL Draft.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Who ever draft me Getting a Dawg I swear just watch how this play out\ud83d\ude0f\ud83d\udc40\ud83e\udd77<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Christen Miller (@fatchr7s) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/fatchr7s\/status\/2045649661692682405?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">April 18, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5q\"><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/fatchr7s\/status\/2045649661692682405?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Miller posted a message on Twitter<\/a> to NFL war rooms, in which he basically revealed that they shouldn&#8217;t be underestimating him. He&#8217;s made it clear that whatever team is able to draft him will not regret it. So with talk like this, he better make sure he&#8217;s out-working everyone standing in his way.<\/p>\n<p>Christen Miller can prove he&#8217;s not all talk if he&#8217;s drafted by the Atlanta Falcons<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5w\">Funnily enough, <a href=\"https:\/\/bloggingdirty.com\/falcons-double-down-on-georgia-bulldogs-in-new-the-athletic-top-100-mock-01knsnv0r3mk\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">his time at Georgia<\/a> gives this tweet a double meaning. He&#8217;s a  &#8220;&#8221;dawg&#8221; literally and figuratively, so keeping the Georgia native within the Peach State in the middle of Day 2 would be a major win for an Atlanta front office looking to make a splash <a href=\"https:\/\/bloggingdirty.com\/mock-draft-round-up-who-do-the-experts-have-the-falcons-drafting-at-no-48-01kp8y5eresa\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">despite not having a first-round pick<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5z\">Miller&#8217;s draft stock is a little bit all over the place. Most draft experts have him a lock to be selected in the top 50, but some are higher on him than others. Some see the First Team All-SEC DT as a first-round talent with a lock to go Day 1, while others think he&#8217;ll go off the board at some point early Day 2.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"62\">Under a new regime looking to instantly set the tone, the Dirty Birds need competitive spirits, and Miller&#8217;s words prove he&#8217;d fit the bill.  Kevin Stefanski and Ian Cunningham want to breed competition all over the roster, and given he won out for a star-studded Georgia defense, that won&#8217;t faze Miller.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"65\">Although he&#8217;s never outright said it, Miller&#8217;s words all but confirm he sees himself as the top defensive tackle in the draft, and he very well could be. There isn&#8217;t much consensus on the DTs, but the only ones definitively ahead of him are Ohio State&#8217;s Kayden McDonald and Clemson&#8217;s Peter Woods. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"68\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bloggingdirty.com\/falcons-pull-the-plug-on-former-draft-bust-with-surprise-ruke-orhorhoro-trade-01kpecj7wpjq\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Even after trading Ruke Orhorhoro<\/a> for Maason Smith, <a href=\"https:\/\/bloggingdirty.com\/surprise-ruke-orhorhoro-trade-didn-t-alter-falcons-draft-philosophy-very-much-01kpedt7dyme\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">nose tackle remains a need<\/a> for the Falcons, so the only thing standing in the way of Miller blossoming into a star run stuffer in Atlanta is the draft board. Hopefully they stay local with their first pick for the second straight year and his confidence pays off.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.minutemediacdn.com\/platform\/google_discover_icon.svg\" class=\"shrink-0\"\/>Add us as a preferred source on Google<a aria-label=\"Follow bloggingdirty.com on Google News\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=bloggingdirty.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"flex h-[30px] w-[30px] shrink-0 items-center justify-center rounded-full bg-primary font-group-large text-sm font-medium text-white transition-colors hover:bg-secondary focus:bg-secondary md:w-auto md:gap-2.5 md:px-4 md:py-[5px]\">Follow<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Even though they don&#8217;t have a first-round pick, it hasn&#8217;t stopped the Atlanta Falcons from being connected to&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":871245,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2074],"tags":[223,254,2554,224,7,6],"class_list":{"0":"post-871244","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-atlanta-falcons","8":"tag-atlanta","9":"tag-atlanta-falcons","10":"tag-atlantafalcons","11":"tag-falcons","12":"tag-football","13":"tag-nfl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116443255904654695","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/871244","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=871244"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/871244\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/871245"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=871244"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=871244"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=871244"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
