And from what I hear that is two we know about..... I was told by a journo from another market that people are sniffing around his past and there is a pattern of behaviour. Interesting. That would definitely cool me on him. The Bills have met him a ton, right? They presumably are trying to work it all out.

Ha! I mean he was awful last year. I think he needs a HUGE step forward in 2025 to win a starting job. It is possible. He missed an entire camp and that hurts a rookie. I just am a little sceptical whether it is likely. So I don't know where that falls on the Hail Mary - Our Father continuum.... but I suspect upper range?

They did but at the moment I have only seen that one single report. Which you have to remember is in lying season. If there are others out there it might be a warning to stay away.... but for now the people I have spoken to the one guy I think I'd say "no way" to based on character is Mike Green.

I just worry a lot about that offensive line. I think it has the potential to be bad enough to sink the offense and that will keep them in the 6-8 win range at best. But let's see what they look like post draft.

Proven backups and a hope and a prayer for big improvement from Bishop. That is absolutely the state of the safety room.

Yea he never took a visit here last year. Now it is fair to say we had less than zero dollars cap wise at that time and we have a bit more wiggle room now.... so that may have been a factor. But equally if there was minimal interest last year and he is a year older and was okay but no more than that this past year with Atlanta I'm not sure I see a move.

I would HATE this.

He showed he can run straight as well as anyone. For sure.

It is Gilmore or White in my era (since 2002).

Yea that makes sense too.

I love his tape, probably because it so fun and unusual. But my original grade which was a low 2nd has been modfied down in my second go round of tight ends. I have somewhat reluctantly moved him down to a mid 3rd and TE4. But in every class you have guys you just actively root for. He is one of those for me this year. I see him as a time share tight end in an offense where the #1 is kind of all athleticism but questionable production. Fannin matched with someone like that could be a productive duo. Seattle (with Fant) or Denver (with Engram) if they pass on a TE at #20 make sense to me.

Agree. One of the most fun watches in the entire class.

Love him. Great pick.

Don't worry. None of you 'mericans use proper English anyway

Yea I have heard DJ say it. I disagree with him. I'm not going to say "time will tell" though because I think that would be disingenuous as the easier usage is to be full time at corner and get a package of plays at WR (hard to do it the other way around) and so I think the likelihood is we will not get a chance to see his ceiling as a full time WR.... which means it is hard for those on your side of the conversation to be proven correct, which doesn't make you wrong... just means I think we probably won't get chance to find out.

This is probably a tad early, I think he is more early day 3... but he does have a chance to sneak into the back end of day 2. He is my 101st player by my board. A pocket size version of Brian Branch who I loved a couple of years ago when he came out. I suspect like Branch he ends up a nickel corner rather than a safety in the NFL. But someone is gonna be really pleased they picked him a couple of years from now.

Like if someone took him before Hunter, Carter or Ward (who isn't a better prospect but is a Quarterback) I think they'd deserve criticism. But before anyone else.... yea I'd struggle to crab it in this class.

I take that point to an extent. But this top 10 isn't like many other top 10s. The opportunity cost of a stud running back isn't that high this time because there just aren't that many must have guys in this class. I think it is a decent draft with some good depth in spots. But it lacks top 10/15 types.

Yea obviously DE and CB/WR have higher position tariffs and so they do have that separation but Jeanty is a stud prospect.

I think there are three. The third is Jeanty.

That's another great pick. I disagree with you on Banks as you know but I like Williams a fair amount too. He is in my top 50.

Best player remaining. Great pick.

To be clear I totally agree with this half of the post.

Individual meetings, sure. But when a team puts that focus on a position does normally indicate they are at least considering it as an option. For example, is Starks was head and shoulders their BPA at #30 I think they'd take him.
