Yea the hip tightness is the main negative on my report for Emmanwori. I think he is a straight lines only player.

He was a headache the year before. But he was still elite. He only got traded once the headache wasn't worth the hassle.

Yea I still think Barron can. But I imagine the arm measurment drops him on the boards of pure zone teams. The KC - McDuffie or Denver - Harris model is now the one for him. Outside on early downs, mans up inside in nickel. So probably limits his attraction to the Bills, sadly. Oh I'd take Starks too. I know his RAS will not blow anyone away. But his film is excellent. He has fantstic eyes. He actually has some Micah Hyde about him.

I disagree on Golden. I did think he looked super explosive on tape. That speed isn't a surprise to me in the way AD's was. Separately, Tez is the one that has hurt himself so far. 4.51? Eeeek. His size and that speed? Mid day 3.

I have said repeatedly I think Golden is really fast. I have been kinda on my own on that hill 😅

Leonard Williams. And the reality is in their front that is probably the position Ed would play. Yea not someone as good in all likelihood. I wouldn't trade him in any other circumstances.

Yea. The O he was drafted into in Seattle was a downfield offense and it suited him. Russ in his prime was a great deep ball thrower. If Josh and DK got chemistry and clicked... watch out. I'm interested in the Eddie O idea too. I think he is really good. Better than the consensus. And he is better thought of by coaches and personnel guys around the league than he is on this board from what I hear. But I have always been of the view that the one scenario I'd consider parting with him in is where it is getting me a #1 WR.

The blocking is fair. But as a receiver, receiving, he is a one trick pony. He can run straight line routes where his speed and size wins. The Bills happen to need EXACTLY that kind of player to open up this offense. But compared to other WR1s he is pretty undiverse.

Oh yea there is a fair chance he doesn't make it to the Bills. But even if he does I'd be willing to let him go and if he succeeds somewhere else well done to that team and that staff.

Yea. I see him as that kind of hybrid S/LB. Now there is no shame in that. Kyle Hamilton is a version of that and is an elite player in the league. But I don't think he is Kyle Hamilton.

Correction - highest paid defensive player in NFL history at the point of signing. Mario's first 3 years in Buffalo the only guys who outsacked him were Justin Houston (then of the Chiefs) and JJ Watt. His 4th year where a) he was miscast in Rex's scheme and b) in his age 20 season I think some of the pop had gone drags his average performance across his time down. But for those 3 years the Bills had one of the most dominant rushers in the NFL on their team.

This is a 100% right. He is a brilliant one trick pony. But he is a one trick pony. I am all in on the Bills trying to land him. He is 27. You might get 3 years. But he is a guy who as soon as that speed goes will be out of the league as fast as he used to run. The Eagles played very little man coverage. Comfortably less than the Bills played in the AFCCG. They played quite a lot of press bail technique. But their coverages were almost all zone.

My problem with him is the thing I have the question about is the thing he didn't prove. There is a stiffness to his game. He doesn't play with the fluidity I'd want in a high end safety. Doesn't flip his hips. The testing I'd have been interested in is the agility drills. I think there is a fair chance he is gone before we pick and if he isn't I'd be content to leave alone at 30.

Probably Scourton based purely on positional value. They are equal grades on my board right now.

Yea I've been a Harmon guy too. I wonder if his testing pushes him a bit out of our range.

Stood out at the Shrine Bowl too. If they find a serviceable starter in FA which allows them to wait until round 4 on a corner he'd be very interesting IMO.

He will get more than that I think. I don't hate the idea of Stokes. He is certainly a guy that means you are not required to force it in the draft.

I could totally see Campbell taking him. Actually think he is a nice fit for the way that D has played as a bigger base end opposite Hutchinson as well. DC change allowing obvs.

Yep. The fact he dropped his weight back down to his Purdue numbers suggests he was playing heavy at A&M's request in 2024. I think if he were there at #30 I'd have a real hard time passing.

In fairness Brees was rarely separated by a great cast of separators at receiver either. Now the likes of Graham, Colston and Thomas were all excellent at their positions - no question about that - but they are all bigger guys who won at the catch point rather than being separators.

I think the Bills will be interested in Stokes in FA if he doesn't sign. They liked him in that 2021 draft. I am less persuaded. 2024 was his best year but he still had plenty of ups and downs and gave up a 97 passer rating when targeted.

There are reasons, sure. His injuries are a risk but he also does not have entirely great relationships within the organisation. Lots of rumours about friction with the coach. I think he can still play. Is he a risk? Yes. But in terms of realistic and cost effective ways for the Bills to add vet players with elite talent this one makes more sense than most.

The struggles Dorian as are shoulders up. There were signs of improvement in 2024. The Jags game week 3 was a real high water mark. But there is still way too much inconsistency in his play, way too many mental mistakes.

Agree on Jackson. I struggle with his fit. Not bendy or fluid enough to be a pass rushing edge, not consistent enough leverage to be 3-4 end. I ended up seeing him more as a 4-3 bigger, base end. But honestly it is going to need a creative staff with him to find his niche. Talented. Just don't know how you use him. On Stewart.... he is super talented. I expected freakish testing and freakish testing is what we got. Think he probably moved up into the top 20 of the draft because if you can teach him some technique he is going to be a monster.

Yea that was a disappointing run. He looked a bit gangly like the long levers almost slow him down. The rest of his testing was decent, so I would want to see him run again at his pro day but was definitely a sub par outing.
