    Nice effort with your overall write up but there is absolutely no way Dwayne Carter “could push for a starting job” at 3-tech when we have one of the best in the NFL in Ed Oliver who is also one of our best players. Carter will be a good backup and insurance just incase of injury. He’s a good player but doesn’t come close to Ed Olivers level. 

    I was very surprised that Nagy wrote Carter could push to start as a rookie!

  2. 🦬 DS Cole Bishop (Rd. 2/Pick 60)- Athletic interchangeable safety should be Day 1 starter & long-term staple with Pro Bowl upside. Man-cover reps in Mobile helped boost his stock. Top jersey-seller.

     

    🦬 DT DeWayne Carter (Rd. 3/Pick 95)- Instinctive, active & powerful 3-tech is immediate rotational piece & could push for starting job at some point as rookie. Likely eventual captain & mayor of Buffalo.

     

    🦬 RB Ray Davis (Rd. 4/Pick 128)- Instantly upgrades No. 2 RB spot as more physical 3-down compliment to James Cook. Sneaky fantasy TD vulture. 

     

    🦬 LB Edefuan Ulofoshio (Rd. 5/Pick 160)- Top-testing & A+ character three-down backup who will play right away on ST. Native Alaskan ready for cold temps. ❄️

     

    🦬 DE Javon Solomon (Rd. 5/Pick 168)- Sawed-off & powerful FBS sack leader has rush talent to earn rotational role first year. Looser version of Bryce Huff coming out of college. Easy choice as media & fan favorite.

  3.  I heard former OL Brian Baldinger repeat this yesterday…
     

    (No surprise) that he said that when you draft your franchise qb, you get him all the help you can. 

     

    Rather than make a prediction, I hope in the next few years the ‘get him all the help you can’ part becomes the #1 priority here.

    Draft Projection

    Rounds 4-5

    Overview

    Three-time team captain with undisputed leadership ability to go with his production. Carter is best suited for a one-gapping scheme that allows him to utilize his foot agility and upfield mentality. He plays with bend and leverage but is average at holding his ground against power. Issues mirroring initial lateral movement from blockers is a concern against zone-based running attacks. While he doesn't have jarring rush production, he might be a more talented pass rusher than run defender on the pro level, thanks to his bull rush and lateral quickness. Carter has the ability to become a good rotational piece in a 4-3 scheme.

    Strengths

    Plays with energy and active feet to probe for opportunities.

    Drives off the snap with force and leverage into initial contact.

    Good technique to stack and play off the block as a run defender.

    Disguises his desire to jump-step and use club move on upfield charge.

    Bull rush can be salty as interior rusher or as a base end.

    Doesn't often use it, but he has a workable spin counter when needed.

    Weaknesses

    Too easily beaten to the spot against lateral blocks.

    Needs to play with better anticipation and snap reaction against the run.

    Can be pushed off the spot by powerful single blocks when centered.

    Fails to maintain ideal separation to prevent being neutralized.

    Needs to find a counter to improve his secondary rush off the bull rush.


    Joe Marino said he had a 24% missed tackle rate. 

  5. A 3rd possibility…

     

    As I said before, he’s being very selective from what he has said regarding going to a winner and in a city his family is comfortable living in.

     

    Some add 1 + 1 and get 3…aka him ‘being very selective’ means no one wants him.

     

    Time will tell.

     

     

  6. I think there’s been a few other receivers Josh wanted here right?

     

    …but they’re not.

     

    Beasley wasn’t/isn’t going anywhere where there wasn’t a real shot at a SB.

     

    He wasn’t/isn’t going anywhere where his family didn't want to be.

     

    Then those competitive teams have to have a need…obviously.

     

    Regardless, I’d rather Cook line up in the slot often or out wide and get way more targets. Arguably the most explosive player we have.

     

    We’ll see if they use him as an important piece to make this offense high powered like it needs to be.

     

    It seems Shakir can play too. 
     

    The oft injured Harty…hopefully he can stay on the field and do great things.

     

    So many on this board were adamant we didn’t need Beasley in 2022.

     

    How’d that work out?

     

    Since they’ve chosen to replace him again in 2023, it doesn’t mean he can’t play, or that the new slot/slots become almost a guaranteed 1st down on 3rd down, either.

     

    For the teams’ sake, I hope they find someone that exceeds Beasley’s past production.
