I think he is a better longshot than Shorter.

Beane and McDermott signing the son of a guy they like? Well I never. Wait until Nate Peterman has kids old enough to be drafted.....

Obviously I agree on the top 3 given I had draftable grades on them all. Like Murphy (I actually like the other Murphy twin too who I thought actually played better at the Shrine game) but think they are probably better fits for 3-4 teams. Coker is worth a punt. I'd forgotten about him. Not sure he is more than a PS guy but definitely worth giving a try.

Conclusion - there are no UDFA WRs to get excited about. There is one guy on that list and he sucks. Beau Brady I feel for. He tested poorly and probably ia sub optimal athletically for the NFL. But the kid can play. Hope he gets a shot somewhere. He will compete his ass off.

Gabe Hall flat out gave up in two games this year. That is why he didn't get drafted. I never thought he was draftable. Tries when he fancies it. Talented but a quitter.

The last three years though the roster has been deep. It has lacked top end talent compared to the other top half dozen teams we have been competing with but it has been deep. It is why despite two years of pretty rotten injury luck they've still won a ton of games. The moves they had to make this offseason mean they are as shallow as they have been since 2018 and still lack that top end talent. I do think they have some good young players, I think they hit on some guys in the last two drafts.... Cook, Bernard, Benford, Kincaid, Torrence and Shakir but they are all (as we were discussing earlier) in the category of "good" at this point and they need to hope 1 or 2 of that group step up to be true difference makers. But they are going to be young, shallow and lacking in difference makers in 2024 unless someone has a significant breakout. They will just be hoping that by the end of next season we are adding Coleman, Bishop and Van-Pran to that list of good young players. I think they will see success in 2024 as the development of all those guys and making the post season. They do not think 2024 is a Superbowl contending season. That said, Kansas City didn't expect 2022 to be a Superbowl contending season in the building - they were re-setting some things and then they got hot at the right time and went all the way. When you have a top flight QB you always have a chance but I think we'd need Josh to have the best season of his career to have a shot. It tells me the regime is pretty safe with Terry. Because this is clearly a two year re-load plan IMO to have 2025 be the year that the second Josh Allen window opens.

KT Leveston is an interesting late round guy. Just gone to the Rams. College tackle, likely goes inside in the NFL. I actually checked back I have done 4 before in 2021..... But still good to get down to that number.

Cornelius Johnson to Michigan West.... sorry the Los Angeles Chargers.... that was predictable.

The Moss - Davis comparison is not lazy IMO. There are a lot of similarities. They are both low centre of gravity, contact runners who want to run between the tackles and are suited to gap schemes that encourage them to get downhill. But if the point of this post is to argue Beane should value speed more then it should be pointed out that the biggest difference between them is Davis is decidedly faster and that shows up on tape.

Haha he's like a big kid. That will be infectious and I imagine it will mesh well with Josh.

I'm down to 6 left on the board.... 1. Beau Brade, S, Maryland 2. Leonard Taylor, DT, Miami 3. Marcus Harris, DT, Auburn 4. Javion Cohen, IOL, Miami 5. Dallin Holker, TE, Colorado State 6. Cornelius Johnson, WR, Michigan I more of these goes and that is new record I think.

He hasn't really got an rugby to go back to. He played amateur rugby. He has never been a pro. It's a really interesting back story.

Whoooooo we took a Brit!

Okay Daequan Hardy - potential nickel corner. I didn't look at him in depth but did see bits of him watching other Penn State defenders. He is scrappy. I think he has some gunner experience too. So potentially replaces Siran Neal as backup nickel and starting gunner?

We have two of the next 3 picks.... what you reckon? Beane goes 2 WRs so he can say he drafted 3?

Nearly time for STUMP THE TRUCK!!!

Bishop is a better Poyer replacement IMO. I think Edwards will get the start in the center fielder role.

Yep.

Yea I'd forgotten him.

Ah yea forgot Anderson. I think they like him. Personally I wouldn't keep Collins, certainly not to play tackle, he just moves too slowly post all the injuries to play out there IMO. If they wanted to try him at guard I'd be fine with it. Unless Grable looks a mess in camp and pre-season they have to find a way to keep him IMO. Invest a year into developing him and give yourself a baseline option in case Brown walks.

Mahogany finally goes... he was my best remaining. Board now looking like this... getting thin: 1. Beau Brade, S, Maryland 2. Leonard Taylor, DT, Miami 3. Brenden Rice, WR, USC 4. Beaux Limmer, C, Arkansas 5. Marcus Harris, DT, Auburn 6. Javion Cohen, IOL, Miami 7. Dallin Holker, TE, Colorado State 8. Cornelius Johnson, WR, Michigan

It's gonna be a tough road but could they not do: Dawkins, Brown, Van Demark, Collins, Grable McGovern, Torrence, Edwards, Van-Pran With Collins having some flex to play guard too? I know they signed Will Clapp and they have Doyle coming back from his 103rd injury but Beane could always do one of his fliperoos for a day 3 pick for one of those guys in camp.

I actually don't mind that. Grable had a really good week at the Shrine Bowl in the practices. He didn't stand out to me in the game and I never got back around to his tape, but I spoke to a guy who was there that week and picked him out. He is their type as well, high RAS, athletic but raw. If I am correct I believe he is a converted tight end. Hope they can sneak him onto the 53 because I think he would get stolen off the PS.

Nah. Keon is gonna start and so is Cole. The third most likely is Sedrick Van-Pran.

Sorry, miscounted. Have 10 guys left on the board and with the Bills only a couple of picks away here they are as a reminder: 1. Christian Mahogany, IOL, Boston College 2. Beau Brade, S, Maryland 3. Leonard Taylor, DT, Miami 4. Brenden Rice, WR, USC 5. Beaux Limmer, C, Arkansas 6. Nathaniel Watson, LB, Mississippi State 7. Marcus Harris, DT, Auburn 8. Javion Cohen, IOL, Miami 9. Dallin Holker, TE, Colorado State 10. Cornelius Johnson, WR, Michigan
