  5. Bills pick Tommy Sweeney gets high praise from Kiper, McShay The tight end was taken in the 7th round Sal Capaccio May 07, 2019 - 10:12 pm Jim Rogash/Getty Images The last of the Buffalo Bills' eight draft picks from last month got a lot of praise this week from two prominent NFL Draft analysts. In the most recent episode of ESPN’s “First Draft” podcast with Mel Kiper, Todd McShay, and host Chris Sprow, the trio were recapping the draft when the subject of tight ends came up. Here’s how the exchange went: Sprow: “Tommy Sweeney, in the 228th pick, goes to the Buffalo Bills.” Kiper: “Todd loves him.” Sprow: “But Todd, Mel goes, ‘he might have some of the best hands in this entire draft.’ At (pick) 228!” Kiper: “Josh Allen is a flamethrower. He’s Randy Johnson. That’s who I compared him to in baseball. So, you’ve got to have a guy who is able to adjust and be able to have great hand-eye coordination, and that’s what Tommy Sweeney has. He may lumber a bit, but his hands are as good as anybody’s in this draft.” McShay: “Short to intermediate he’s going to be there for you. He’s (also) going to block for you.” Kiper: “He’s a throwback.” McShay: “He’s one of the highest character, football-loving dude’s in the class.” Kiper: “Yeah, in the 1970’s and 80’s he probably would have been a 2nd or 3rd round pick.” The 6’ 5”, 260 pound Sweeney caught 99 passes for 1281 yards and 10 touchdowns in four years at Boston College. He was the second tight end the Bills chose after also selecting Mississippi’s Dawson Knox in the fourth round. Both players will join the rest of their fellow draft class, as well as undrafted free agents and other first-year players at the team’s rookie minicamp in Orchard Park this weekend. https://wgr550.radio.com/articles/news/bills-pick-tommy-sweeney-gets-high-praise-kiper-mcshay
  6. The next wave of free agency could be primed to begin Tuesday at 11:59 p.m. ET. The passing of the league-wide deadline signals current veteran players on the open market no longer count in the NFL's method of calculations for determining compensatory draft picks. "If teams sign players, they are not counted against the compensatory pick formula," NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport explained Monday night on Total Access. "In other words, they do not hurt future draft choices. So, you have some players that are simply in a waiting game." Teams with money to spend won't find a drying pool of talent, especially on the defensive side of the line of scrimmage. Defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh and defensive end Ezekiel Ansah are the highest-ranked unsigned players on NFL.com's list of Top 101 free agents of 2019, which was published before the start of the new league calendar year. And in a league where pass rushers are at a premium, Ansah and his 48 career sacks should experience an uptick from interested teams willing to be patient as he recovers from shoulder surgery. "He had a checkup recently with an expert," Rapoport said. "He's going to be ready about early on or midway through training camp. That's a good sign for him." Other players of note from NFL.com's Top 101 list still seeking a home include cornerback Morris Claiborne, linebacker Jamie Collins, running back Jay Ajayi, safety Glover Quin and outside linebacker Shane Ray, among others. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001030106/article/tuesday-deadline-marks-next-wave-of-free-agency
