My thoughts exactly. He looks like a nice target with good hands, but runs like he's wearing ankle weights. Every highlight, a DB catches up to him like he's standing still & then he goes down on first contact. Jesse James is better than any TE we have, but he wouldn't have much more impact for us than the 2018 version of Clay. I'd rather gamble on the upside of Eifert or Maxx Williams.

According to the New York Daily News' Manish Mehta, "word on the street" is Le'Veon Bell ballooned to 260 pounds during his year away from football. Bell's listed playing weight is 225. Bell had some body composition issues as a rookie but totally morphed himself ahead of Year 2 and has had no conditioning worries ever since. However, taking a year away from the game, partying in Miami, and not having to practice likely didn't do him any good. Odds are Bell has slimmed back down by now as he looks for a monster payday in free agency, but he's got some buyer beware marks against him. Bell is said to be looking for $48 million over the first three years of any contract he signs this offseason. SOURCE: New York Daily News Feb 20, 2019, 2:47 PM

Anybody still complaining about this signing needs to watch his Jets highlight video that somebody posted earlier in this thread. In what was supposedly "a terrible season that got him cast off the Jets", he sure put together some nice tape. Of course it only shows the good plays, but it looks a lot better than any highlight plays from Ducasse, Miller, or Teller. He really moves well. Now he did look much better at Guard than Center, but the guy can play. I see him starting at OG for us and having a solid season, I think we get a Center somewhere else.

Clay's last TD was in Week 3 of 2017. Think about that... I won't be surpised if that was his last TD in the NFL. He was once a good player, but those days are long over.

Here's a pic of Murray with Antonio Brown & Hollywood Brown, who are both listed at 5'10". Murray is definitely shorter than both of them. If he measures 5'8", he'll lose some round 1 suitors.

The only way Murphy gets cut is if we draft DE in Round 1. He's a better player than he was able to show last year. I'll start worrying if Ducasse is still on the roster in another few weeks.

In my mind, the player with the best chance of making multiple Pro Bowls, who will be available at #9, is Dalton Risner. The question becomes, is a RT or OG worth taking in the top-10. I'd much rather trade down & take him in the 12-15 range, but I'd hate to see him go on to have a HOF career for an AFC rival because we gambled on some "high ceiling" DT.

Yep, Ebron was the last "Complete TE" draft prospect. He went #9 to the Lions, and in 4 years in Detroit became merely a marginal starter, despite being in a passing offense. He did literally nothing to justify being drafted in the first round, let alone top-10, and was run out of town. It seems like most 1st round TEs disappoint. I'd feel better drafting one in the 2nd or 3rd round.

Wow, he looks a lot better than I expected. Moves really well. It's clear from these highlights that he's much better at Guard than Center, but either way, this guy is a major upgrade from Miller or Ducasse. I see this move is a contingency plan for if we don't land a top FA OL. The backup plan would probably be Bodine at Center & Long at Guard.

Love this... except trading up for AJ Brown. He'd certainly be there at #40, I think we could nab a much better WR than Brown at #33.

I'd be cool with this draft. Hadn't really looked at Isaac Nauta much until now, but he looks like a stud. Really underutlized in GA's passing game.

Murray has a pic on his instagram of him standing with Antonio Brown & Hollwood Brown, who are both listed at 5'10". Kyler is definitely 1-2 inches shorter than both of them.

This is a fantastic quote. Even if DK absolutely tears up the Combine, it doesn't change the fact that he hasn't done much as a WR. Past Bills regimes would've definitely overlooked that. Let's hope McBean know what they're doing.

It looks like the outer edges of the photo are stretched, which is common with cell phone pics. Look at his right arm in particular, it looks the outside edge of the pic is definitely stretched & makes him look wider. He's still huge, but that's a misleading pic. If he were in the middle of the pic, he'd look more like we'd expect.

Demaryius Thomas had already lost a step before tearing his achilles. Recovering from that injury at age 31 is extremely difficult, even most young guys never regain the same explosion. I'd stay far away.

OL is much easier to find in free agency. If we sign 2 guys, that frees us up to wait until the 3rd round for OL & take WR or TE early. I'd much prefer that route.

There are probably 8-10 WRs in the draft with higher upside than Tyrell Williams. Signing him (and overpaying) would be really stupid. We'd end up with a marginal WR2 while watching guys we passed on to do so become top targets on other teams. It'd be the equivalent of us signing Terrelle Pryor in 2017 coming off a 1000 yard season, and passing on JuJu & Cooper Kupp in the draft because "our WR needs are now met".

Hell No to Funchess, he's a turd who cannot separate. We already tried our hand & lost with a big, slow WR from Carolina. I think Beane is sis smart enough to stay far away. Tavon Austin would be pretty useless here, except on special teams. Same goes for Cordarelle Patterson. I'd be cool with anyone else on that list.

He's a 3rd year QB. Let's not act like he's a rookie, he's a 3rd year starting player with 2 Pro Bowls. His performance was indicative of the player he is, not his age.

I was really disappointed that Wade didn't make any adjustments on Edelman. He continued to allow Edelman to stay open in the short zone without spying him. Brady's arm isn't what it used to be, make him throw downfield more & it's a different ballgame.

I have a sinking feeling that the Rams control the game, but it starts to slip away in the 4th quarter, ultimately decided by a phantom Roughing the Passer penalty on Brady, giving the Pats a chance to win it in the final seconds.

This draft is literally the best case scenario. I would go absolutely nuts if we got those top 3.

LOL at him being a #1. I think he has some work to do to even be considered a #2, but I can't blame him for saying it as he enters free agency. I think he'd be decent addition, but if wants anything close to WR1 money, he can keep walking.

I really like Andy Isabella. He's had great production despite his size, inclusing against top competition. Forget measurables, he'll be a star for somebody. He's one of those non-first round guys that just screams success at the next level, that we ususally pass on. I remember having the same feeling about Jordy Nelson.

It's Risner for me too. The dude is a freaking animal, he'd be such a perfect addition. I'm even starting to be OK with taking him at #9 if we can't trade down a few spots. His performance this week has made him a top-20 lock.
