    Some do not understand that with 7th round team the team chooses where player goes and get a 4 year contract.   With UDFAs player/agent chooses and often the player will get a 3 round allowing player to go to free agency early if play warranted.

     

    Either that or Lightning is terrible at satire.

    Turn on your satire detector Lime!

    I'm not pounding the table to get rid of Morse, but we have seen Bates capably play center. We are light on cap space and still could use a couple late-stage free agent signings to round out our DL. Not to mention a certain WR that I would still love to find a way to obtain. Moving on from Morse may be the best available avenue to clear up a decent amount of cap space without a huge drop off to the next man in line.

    May be the best for him as well. His brain will be slush of he gets another concussion.

    He is an off the ball linebacker that brings the wood when he tackles and has traits to make you think he could become good in coverage.  What mental gymnastics were required here?  Cover 1 didnt like him or Joe Marino? 

    Played weak side in college and to me looks like we used a 3rd round pick on Milano's back up.

    Day 2 LIVE NFL DRAFT, 7pm

    So a 6'1 224 pound slow (4.85) LB in the 3rd round last year who never saw the field to a 6'1 228 pound faster (4.45) version in the third this year.  Yeah, what's not to like? I guess 6'1 is the maximum height for Bills LBs. Should strike fear with opposition OCs who dare to run against this group. New LB coach Tyrion Lannister must be over the top happy.

    Projected as a day 3 pick and quality back up. Great. Looks like a complete whiff two years running.

    I'm happy with the selection. The value was too great to pass up. 

     

    Just saying let's wait and see how he plays. He dropped for a reason and he appears slower and lumbering at times. 

     

    I like his size and how he can maul players at the attack point. 

     

     

    Bills S&C team will get him leaner and stronger.  He'll be a beast.

    The Bills First Round Selection (#27) will be offense. And from among these five players.

    The toughest part of projecting the Bills first round is knowing which 25 players will be picked before the Bills are on the clock.  Barring a trade, the Bills will select from among these players, in this order, depending on who remains on the  board:

     

    1. Dalton Kindcaid TE (despite no top 30 visit.  No visit was needed. If Kincaid is on the board, very likely he is easily the BPA.  Bill top 30 visits or private workouts with three other TE's.  This is a position of interest to the Bills. 
    2. Michael Mayer  TE.  If Kincaid is off the board and Mayers is left he will be the pick for the same reasons. 
    3. Darnell Wright OT.  If Kincaid and Mayer are off the board, and Wright is on the board, he is likely the top rated player left whom the Bills have targeted with a top 30 visit. 
    4. Zay Flowers WR.  If the top 3 players are gone, and Flowers is left, he is almost certainly the best offensive weapon left on board. Separation is 95% of what matters for NFL WRs and Flowers is arguably the best separator in the pass (Bills had top 30 visit with Flowers)
    5. Darnell Washtington TE.  Bills had a top 30 interview with Washington. Likely in hopes of landing him in the second.  But the Bills will be emotionally committed to drafting offense with pick 1.  TE is a position of interest to the Bills, and Washington would be taken ahead of remaining lineman (assuming nothing weird like Broderick Jones being on the board still).  Washington is one of one in this draft in terms of physical potential at the TE position. (Note Wright and Flowers will be targeted ahead of Washington, because they are far more likely to have 2023 impact. Long term Washington may improve more important.

     

     

    Nice work and well reasoned.
