For his size, he has huge arms. 16 sacks is a lot for 1 college season.
We possibly get a steal? Situational pass rusher, maybe try him at "OLB" on some looks.He said Von is his idol basically so that could work out really well
Look at his muscle development......he's like Thor out there
Javon Kearse + King Solomon = DPOY 😂
Jeebus he does look like a Marvel character. Speed, bend and power with that kind of wingspan will translate in the NFL. Move him all over the DLine. Some tutelage from Von could be the secret sauce.

I think that it will be tough for Van Pran-Gran to unseat McGovern. But if he does...
I don't rule out Van Pran starting. He's played a lot of ball with an elite team in an elite conference. If Edwards falters at LG, I can see moving McGovern back there if VP is looking decent.

I don’t care what anyone says. This team is MUCH better than the one that took the field and lost to the Chiefs last January.
The Bills are going to be a load this season. Buckle up!
Jesus Beavis, calm down. Lot's of moving parts have to go right. This year will be a process. I don't expect they will be "much better" off the jump.

Great! Maybe they’ll sing Glee songs together. So done with this team. We needed 5 more goofy WR’s with catchy names like “Soob Soob Wakadash” or “Se’Se’Se’ Latoonski”. Beane sucks.
Well to be fair, those are pretty cool names.

With more cap I'd like MVS, Gilmore and Lawson.

The OP is right. DC's will just give up and let Josh go deep all the time as it's impossible to defend.

It's another piece of the puzzle. We don't need to know his 40 time to know that he's slow. Watch the tape how the db is with him step for step on any route longer than 10 yards
Okay, you hate the pick. We get it. I guess the only way to get separation and catch balls is to be sub 4.3 speed like MAYBE MHJ is but won't actually be timed.

Right. Excellent point. What's your conclusion from that?
Mine:
1) just because a guy has legit sub-4.4 speed doesn't mean he will succeed in the NFL
2) just because a guy doesn't have sub-4.4 speed, doesn't mean he won't succeed in the NFL
3) if you want a guy who is the complete package as a draft prospect, figure out how to get to the top of the 1st round
4) otherwise, pick a guy who has traits you value and gaps you think you can coach up
Obviously Beane didn't want to give up whatever he would have had to give up, to get to the top of the 1st round, so he's going by 4)
Isabella, in particular, indicates the paradox that sub-4.4 speed and college success don't assure NFL competence. He was drafted in the 2nd round by the Cardinals because of his combination of both elite speed AND quickness with "the feet and the fakes to uncover in a hallway closet". He has a relative athletic score of 96. But his scouting report also noted "Restricted escape angles against press could offer challenge.....Can be shoved off the route path by solid contact. Obvious catch-radius limitations due to size. Chronic body catcher. Rolling starts lead to excessive false-start penalties." Obviously, the Cards hoped they could coach those things up, and 5 years later teams are still hoping.
You can't coach speed (you can train to improve it, obviously), but there are other traits like elite catching skills and physicality which are also apparently hard to coach.Mine: Isabella sucks.
I kid, but end of day we're kinda of saying the same thing. Fast doesn't = football player.

Relative Atheletic Score. A way to measure a player's athletic testing to their size as well as historically comparing to others in the bracket. A 10 is the best EVER measured....so his score is awesome
Good explanation but it was wasn't me asking.

We have two. Samuel and Isabella. Cook is dang close with a 4.42 40-time, as well.
Now you can say you don't think they're the right guys, or we need different guys or better guys, but that's different from saying we don't have guys.
O receptions for 0 yards. But yes, he's under 4.4.

Road grader, high character, only fell because he has stubby fingers. Should be a 10 year starter. Steal.
You forgot lunch pail and plays to the whistle.

Saying we have one guy with sub 4.4 speed is different than saying we have 0 players with elite speed.
True, you are so very astute. If your fine with what we have, good for you.

Yeah, but I think you're discounting the reactions from a bunch of message board people that have never played in the NFL who are the real experts here... 🤔 🤣
Well true that 😏

Okay, that’s different than saying “we have no elite speed.”
We have one guy below 4.4 speed on offense. Just saying 2 would be nice.

Needed depth at LB.

Legit post if you're a glass half-full guy. But Moss had a good year last year and while I'm not on fire over the Coleman pick, reaction from Chris Simms and others has me far more comfortable.

Why does age even matter, they aren't getting a 2nd contract as an RB.
Wear and tear. Thar's all.

Kid looks like the battering ram we need. Has speed and moves. Rather not get him in the 4th and rather he'd be 21 or 22, but if he's breaking off big runs for us on 3rd down all that stuff goes away.

Me too. Suggestion: no smoking, moderate drink, lots of exercise, throw in some prayer — all to add meaningful years to your life to enjoy Bills and grandchildren 😎
Done all of that and still no Lombardi. That said, been following since 1963, what's another year?

Great analysis. We are close. Chiefs are not on another level. They’re not our daddy. JA17 faced a better D than Mahomey, but that won’t be true next time. Our day will come.
When? I'm pushing 70.

Curtis Samuel's Combine 40 time is in the 96th percentile for WR.
He's been in and flirted with being one of the Top 20 fastest ball carriers each season he's been in the NFL.
Played 75% of snaps in the slot. Currently where most of our pass catchers operate. We still have no true X or even a #1 receiver.

Second rounders don’t start at all for NFL teams?? Is this a new rule?
How the hell did the Bills get away with putting a late round pick like Benford out there?!?!
They had to get an exemption from the league I believe.

For all the whining and bellyaching about Coleman being our first pick (I was disappointed myself) it’s time to man up and admit that none of us are draft experts…some draft analysts had Franklin going late 1st, and many of us would’ve been happy taking him at 33. For those in here who had Franklin going 4th round, where have we erred, and why were we so wrong?
He had a brutal combine. I wanted him as an early pick until the combine. Bailed on him after that.
Would you get Tom Brady’s autograph?
