  1. He could be a good pick but I like him more in the 2nd day of the draft. Although I must say he was JP Losmans go to guy & He is a TD red zone threat that has decent size & good hands. I also heard that he ran a 4.47 40 at his personal workout.
  2. How can you be happy with the Bills depth at Wide receiver? What have the backup players shown you to say that?
  3. Although Josh Reed put up some amazing stats in college, it just doesn't appear as if he is cutting it as an NFL wide receiver. I don't know what happened to his hands since college but he drops to many passes combined with his short stature and his slow speed it appears that he has a hard time getting open too. He is in a contract year which could make things interesting but I feel he should have played at a much higher level already Sam Aiken has one year less experience but so far hasn't shown to me anything special either. I seen him drop a couple of catchable balls this past season in his limited action, but he too may be too slow to get open to be affective. Would not be surprised if Evans is the only player on offense who can run under a 4.5 in the 40 and Mcgahee (at the end of last season was probably under a 4.5) I think the Bills should get a big red zone target with speed under 4.5 or another speed receiver. Having good hands is important too considering the winds in Buffalo
  4. Wow! that's news to me. When you don't see a player hit the field you kind of wonder if he is any good. I wonder if the Bills will avoid drafting a DT this year.
  5. by John Hadley Richie Incognito Nebraska 6'3 306 Junior A versitile lineman with a wicked nasty streak...the second coming of Conrad Dobler
  6. Speed, speed & more speed Speed is great & I certainly would not be upset with the pick of Mathis, but I think the Bills could use a big target for the red zone area. I still like Vincent Jackson in the 3rd round
  7. If Spencer or Baas is there for them in the 2nd round I think the Tom's will take them I also think that Incognito is a tough nasty athletic player that would be worth drafting too
  8. Both of these guys should be 2nd day picks Roydell Williams was JP Losman's top receiver in college. Williams & Losman should have some kind of comfort level with each other. Roydell Williams Grade: 3.68 Position: WR Class: Sr School: Tulane Conference: C-USA Ht., Wt.: 6-0.5, 190 40 Time: 4.51 Grading System BIO: Three year starter awarded All-Conference honors as a senior after leading the team in receiving with 52/862/12. Junior totals included a career high 66/1,006/9. POSITIVES: Consistent pass catcher with reliable hands. Fluid releasing off the line of scrimmage, comes back to the ball and goes up in a crowd to make the difficult catch. Stays low exiting routes, positions himself to make the reception and out muscles or physically defeats opponents. Extends and offers the quarterback a nice target. Tough running after the reception, breaks tackles and picks up positive yardage. NEGATIVES: Possesses built up speed rather than a quick, explosive burst. Choppy footwork into breaks. ANALYSIS: A productive collegiate receiver with good upside for the next level, Williams has fallen under the radar screen in scouting circles the past two seasons. Continually got the job done at Tulane and turned in an outstanding performance at the Senior Bowl when he was a late-week roster addition. Wont' be selected until the later rounds yet could be a very productive fourth wide out at the next level. PROJECTION: Early Third Round College: Tulane Height: 6-03/4 Position: Wide Receiver Weight: 188 Class: Senior 40-Yard: 4.48 SCOUTING REPORT Strengths: Good natural athlete...Tough and very strong...Not afraid to go over the middle for a catch...Has very solid hands...Good height...Does all the little things. Weaknesses: Doesn't have the top speed you look for...Is too thin and needs to add bulk...Won't be a deep threat in the pros...Upside is limited and will never be a star...May have some durability concerns. Notes: Was actually drafted to play pro baseball by the Cincinnati Reds out of high school...The type of guy who doesn't do anything great but everything well...Could make it as a backup or possession receiver at the pro level. - Scott Wright --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Odds are a 3rd QB on the team won't play anyway so why not take a guy from Harvard to hold the clip board & be able to add some insight. Ryan Fitzpatrick Official Bio College: Harvard Height: 6-23/8 Position: Quarterback Weight: 232 Class: Senior 40-Yard: 4.87 SCOUTING REPORT Strengths: Does a nice job disecting defenses...Very smart and a good game manager...Team leader with top intangibles and a competitive fire...Does all the little things. Weaknesses: Didn't play against elite competition...Size is only average...Isn't very mobile...Arm strength is adequate, but not special...Will make some poor decisions. Notes: Led his team to an undefeated season in 2004 as a senior...Probably doesn't have the physical tools to be a starter at the next level but could develop into a backup. Scott Wright http://www.nfldraftcountdown.com/sub/rankings.html
  9. I think that JP better start preparing right now for every team he will be facing this year on the Bills schedule. Division opponents especially should be focused on.
  10. I say Keep Nate Clements & throw in Josh Reed to try to get 2 pick from Tampa
  11. Buffalo Bills Off-Season Preview By: Kevin Fischer The Buffalo Bills had a successful 1st season under new head coach Mike Mularkey, as with the emergence of Willis McGahee; the Bills got to a 9-7 record and were one game away from the playoffs. The Bills will be without a first round pick, but with Henry requesting a trade; it could lead the way for a possible trade that could bring a draft pick for the bills. Well, enough of my writing lets role on to the preview. The Bills Free Agents do not look at costly as you might think. Yes, Jonas Jennings is a free agent, but Jennings isn't very good. Jennings is a good run blocker, but his pass blocking isn't very well, as he looks very lazy during the pass rush. The Bills might bring him back if Moulds contract does get reworked, and maybe Jim McNally, the Bills offensive line coach, can work with him. Though Jennings could be too much to bring back, and tackles like Tra Thomas, Kareem McKenzie, and Ryan Diem are all UFA's. Marcus Price, the Bills backup Offensive Tackle, is also a free agent, though I think he will return. Plus, possibly players like Justin Bannan, and Jason Peters will probably convert to Offensive Linesman. Mike Pucillo, a backup Guard, is a Restricted Free Agent, but don't expect any offers, he should return to Buffalo next year. Ryan Neufled is another Free agent. He is a great blocker, and a hard worker. He is cheap, and you should expect him to return next year. Now, about Travis Henry, he will be traded for at best, a 2nd or 3rd Round pick. Teams like Tampa Bay, Oakland, Arizona, Miami are interested according to Henry. But, with a good free agent pool, with Shaun Alexander, LaMont Jordan, and a great draft class in Ronnie Brown, Carnell Williams, and Cedric Benson, it could be hard for the Bills to get a higher pick. On the defensive side of the ball, the bills look to have to fill in some holes. Pat Williams, a Bill since 1997, is a free agent, and might be let go. Now, Buffalo has some depth in Tim Anderson and Ron Edwards, but they might not be able to replace Williams, whom was a leader and played his whole career in Buffalo, also was a pro bowl alternative and a respected person in Buffalo for his work in the community, and being a good neighbor, as well as being able to "pimp" your ride. And no I am not kidding. Josh Stamer is a free agent, and he'll probably be brought back. Stamer is a special team player, but was one of the best special team player, and a solid backup to Jeff Posey. Kevin Thomas is a RFA. Thomas, whom spilt time with Jabari Greer at nickel, has the potential to be a very good career nickel back. With Troy Vincent pulling a "Rod Woodson", moving from Corner to safety, expect Thomas to return. Izell Reese is also a free agent, and with Vincent at safety, and the great play of Rasheed Baker, and players like Laywer Milloy and Coy Wire, I would be shocked if he returned. Also, with Pierson Prioleau, I can see him being a June 1st cut, but don't take my word for it. Mostly with the depth at safety, I can't see the Bills carrying 5 safeties. With the draft coming up, it is going to be interesting what the Bills will do. Last time when they were without a first round pick, in 2003, when the Bills winded up trading the rights of Peerless Price to Atlanta for the Falcons 1st Pick, 23rd overall. The Bills drafted RB Willis McGahee out of Miami, and look how he is now. Well, unless we make a hugh trade, the Bills will probably draft without the first round pick in 1998, when we traded for Rob Johnson, someone that is a disgrace to the Bills. A Draft preview will be in the works very soon, since it is too early to tell with Free Agency coming up. J.P. Losman, our 22nd pick of the 2004 Draft, will be given a chance to start, as Tom Donahoe, the Bills GM and President said. Hopefully, J.P. Losman and his 4.6 Speed will give the Bills, the scrambling QB that Drew Bledsoe isn't, and hopefully, isn't a Rob Johnson.
  12. Tom Donahe spoke very highly of Jabari Greer at the press conferance and also mentioned that Greer may be the fastest Bill. He seemed to play very well last season as an undrafted rookie. He may have even played more thanb Kevin Thomas as a nickel corner Do you think he could eventuallly become a quality starting CB for the Bills or is he destined to remain a nickel guy?
  13. Howard Simon is a class act & has good insight Maybe Howard Simon & Kevin Sylvester could do the morning show together. Then put Jeremy White back with Brad Rider, but move them to the afternoon. I don't like Schopp at all. Bulldog seams to be knowledgable but is difficult to listen to. I think WGR personalities gop off on too many tangents instead of talking sports. It becomes very annoying.
  14. I hope the Bills will draft Vincent Jackson 4. Vincent Jackson - WR - Northern Colorado Huge athletic wideout is the highest rated small college player this year. He has imposing physical talent that will warrant a first day selection. His size may allow him to H-back, in addition to his regular wideout position. He has good speed, hands and agility and has produced against top competition. He completed a great college career with an impressive NFL Combine that may push him into the mid first day area. His rare size creates major problems especially in the red zone where he has impact ability. Combine Invite? yes Height: 6046 Weight: 241 40 Yrd Dash: 4.46 20 Yrd Dash: 2.63 10 Yrd Dash: 1.57 Wonderlic: 33 225 Lb. Bench Reps: Vertical Jump: 39 Broad Jump: 20 Yrd Shuttle: 3-Cone Drill: Dates: 03/23/2005 Height: 6046 Weight: 241 40 Yrd Dash: 20 Yrd Dash: 10 Yrd Dash: 225 Lb. Bench Reps: 23 Vertical Jump: Broad Jump: 10'9" 20 Yrd Shuttle: 4.00 3-Cone Drill:
  15. I don't like Schopp & the Bulldog Schopp is rude to his callers and seems more interested in talking aboout American Idol than sports. Bulldog seems to be a bit of a loudmouth They sould have Kevin Sylvester & Jeremy White in the afternoon. Howard Simon can fly solo in the morning
  16. I believe that Dylan McFarland is a small school guy
  17. My guess is that he will be a free agent before we see him on the field
  18. I would not taske Browner with a 2nd or 3rd rounder. He is too slow & would need to be moved to safety. Maybe they could trade that pick back down and get an extra 3rd. Wouldn't that be wierd
  19. posted 04-04-2005 05:55 PM 1. San Francisco 49ers: Aaron Rodgers (jr.), QB, California Virtually nothing separates Rodgers and Utah quarterback Alex Smith, but Rodgers gets the nod because of his local roots and the fact that he conducted an outdoor workout for the 49ers while Smith threw the ball indoors in Salt Lake City. A trade down is still possible, but with no consensus No. 1 player it remains to be seen whether San Francisco will receive an offer equal to the normal value of the No. 1 overall pick. 2. Miami Dolphins: Ronnie Brown, RB, Auburn A complete back with power, speed and size, Brown is adept at catching the ball out of the backfield. New Dolphins coach Nick Saban is very familiar with Brown after spending the last few seasons in the SEC West and Brown would be a great addition for a team whose running game was sorely lacking last season. 3. Cleveland Browns: Alex Smith (jr.), QB, Utah New coach Romeo Crennel needs a quarterback,and Smith has the smarts, accuracy and mobility teams look for. Smith is only 20 years old and would be a nice place to start as the Browns look to rebuild. 4. Chicago Bears: Braylon Edwards, WR, Michigan Edwards has the size and athletic ability to make defensive backs sweat. He would be a terrific addition opposite Muhsin Muhammad, who signed as a free agent, and allow quarterback Rex Grossman to open things up a bit. 5. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Carnell Williams, RB, Auburn Williams gets tough yards inside despite lacking ideal size thanks to deceptive speed and tremendous feel for running in traffic. He scored 29 rushing TDs over the last two years, and Tampa coach Jon Gruden is very familiar with him after coaching Williams in the Senior Bowl. 6. Tennessee Titans: Antrel Rolle, CB, Miami Rolle ran a 4.49 in the 40 during his individual workout and his size gives him an advantage over Pac-Man Jones of West Virginia, who was projected in this spot in my last mock draft. Cornerback is a major need position for the Titans and Rolle brings plenty of experience against big-time competition to the table. 7. Minnesota Vikings (from Oakland): Mike Williams (jr.), WR, USC Williams has the size, strength and hands to be a perfect replacement for Randy Moss, who was traded for a package that included this pick. The Vikings have needs on defense as well but Williams will immediately address Minnesota's biggest loss of the offseason. 8. Arizona Cardinals: Cedric Benson, RB, Texas Benson is basically equal to the two running backs projected ahead or him and is a little better as a blocker, which is key to NFL teams. Getting a player of his caliber at No. 8 would be a major victory for a team that needs a big-time back. This could change, though, if the Cardinals work out a trade for disgruntled Buffalo running back Travis Henry. 9. Washington Redskins: Adam "Pac-Man" Jones (jr.), CB, West Virginia The Redskins would not only get a tough, aggressive corner who is good in run support but also a dynamic return man, someone in the mold of former Washington standout Darrell Green. Jones has tremendous speed and instincts. 10. Detroit Lions: Derrick Johnson, OLB, Texas The first pick that falls under the "best available player" category. The Lions don't have a pressing need at outside linebacker but Johnson would be an upgrade at that position and allow Detroit some flexibility at linebacker with players such as Teddy Lehman and Boss Bailey already there. 11. Dallas Cowboys: Shawne Merriman (jr.), DE/OLB, Maryland A workout warrior with incredible physical skills, Merriman would be an ideal end/linebacker combo in a 3-4 scheme. Not many players have the ability to start from a three-point stance or play on their feet at 274 pounds. Merriman is reminiscent of Patriots linebacker Willie McGinest, who was the first draft pick of the Patriots when current Cowboys coach Bill Parcells began his tenure in New England. 12. San Diego Chargers: Marcus Spears, DE, LSU The Chargers need more playmakers on the front seven and Spears would be a good option for providing pressure along the defensive front. He fits perfectly into San Diego's 3-4 scheme with his ability to play both the run and the pass, and at over 300 pounds he will be able to occupy blockers and allow linebackers to run to the ball. 13. Houston Texans: Alex Barron, OT, Florida State The Texans had an interest in St. Louis veteran Orlando Pace but did not get him, and with quarterback David Carr needing more protection, the versatile Barron an ideal fit. He is very strong in the lower body and has quick feet in pass protection. 14. Carolina Panthers: Troy Williamson (jr.), WR, South Carolina Williamson showed great speed at the combine and would be a nice option for a team that lost Muhsin Muhammad in free agency. Williamson did not play in a passing offense in college but has the speed all teams are looking for. 15. Kansas City Chiefs: Demarcus Ware, DE/OLB, Troy The Chiefs likely will dedicate most of their draft to defense, and Ware is a solid end/outside linebacker combo in the mold of Peter Boulware who will help the front seven generate some heat on the passer. 16. New Orleans Saints: Thomas Davis (jr.), S/OLB, Georgia A college safety who projects to linebacker at the next level because of his size, Davis is a punishing tackler with big-play ability whose weakness in coverage will not be exposed at linebacker the way it could be at safety. 17. Cincinnati Bengals: Carlos Rogers, CB, Auburn Rogers was a steady, reliable player at Auburn and was perhaps the Tigers' best defensive player last season. He has plenty of experience against top-shelf SEC competition and his aggressive attitude would make him a nice fit in Marvin Lewis' defensive scheme. 18. Minnesota Vikings: Dan Cody, DE, Oklahoma The Vikings drafted end Kenechi Udeze in the first round last year, but the defensive line is a major need area for Minnesota and Cody has enough athleticism to be able to play on his feet at times. Cody also has a great motor and never quits so he would fit in nicely under head coach Mike Tice. 19. St. Louis Rams: Jammal Brown, OT, Oklahoma Orlando Pace is a Pro Bowler at left tackle but the Rams need a right tackle in the worst way. Brown had an outstanding season as both a pass and run blocker and his good feet and long arms allow him to move defenders off the line or away from the quarterback. 20. Dallas Cowboys (from Buffalo): Roddy White, WR, UAB Getting Merriman at No. 11 would allow the Cowboys to fill another major void with White, who averaged 20 yards per catch during his senior season and was very good at both the Senior Bowl and the combine. The acquisition of quarterback Drew Bledsoe means the Cowboys will have to find him some help in the passing game. 21. Jacksonville Jaguars: Marlin Jackson, CB, Michigan Jack Del Rio's team is thin in the secondary and Jackson showed in his individual workout that he has the necessary speed to play corner at the NFL level. He also has good size and a lot of experience against some of the best wideouts in the country. Don't forget, he went head-to-head with Braylon Edwards every day in practice. 22. Baltimore Ravens: Mark Clayton, WR, Oklahoma Arguably the most polished receiver in the draft, Clayton has speed and athleticism that make him one of the most dangerous receivers after the catch to come along in recent years. His presence would help the Ravens overhaul a passing attack that was bolstered with the free-agent signing of Derrick Mason. 23. Seattle Seahawks: David Pollack, DE, Georgia The Seahawks need a pass rusher with a big-time motor and Pollack fits the bill with his intensity and nose for the ball. An ideal fit for Mike Holmgren's team if he lasts this long on the board. 24. Green Bay Packers: Erasmus James, DE, Wisconsin The Packers need someone to complement end Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila and James would do just that. He can play the run and pass equally well, and would have been a top-five pick had injury/durability questions not come into play. 25. Denver Broncos: Travis Johnson, DT, Florida State The Broncos signed several former Cleveland players along the defensive line but only one, end Ebenezer Ekuban, who was productive last season. Johnson improved tremendously last season and would provide a big-time presence inside who could collapse the pocket, stuff the run and occupy blockers. 26. New York Jets: Fabian Washington (jr.), CB, Nebraska With Marlin Jackson moving up thanks to a good workout, Washington falls to the Jets. He is arguably the best athlete among all the cornerback prospects, though, and is the fastest of the group. Washington was a safety/corner combo in college who did not really play to the level of a first-round pick but his workouts showed his potential and moved him up. 27. Atlanta Falcons: Shaun Cody, DE/DT, USC Atlanta needs both an end and a tackle along the defensive front, and Cody showed in college the versatility to play either position. He was a major contributor to the nation's No. 1 run defense last season. 28. San Diego Chargers: Khalif Barnes, OT, Washington Barnes overcame a late-season wrist injury and had a terrific week at the Senior Bowl, and if he can sustain his concentration and intensity for 60 minutes a week he will fill a big need for the Chargers and their young offensive stars. 29. Indianapolis Colts: Matt Roth, DE, Iowa His presence would take a lot of pressure off stud pass rusher Dwight Freeney and give a boost to a defense that has been a problem area for the Colts in recent seasons. 30. Pittsburgh Steelers: Heath Miller (jr.), TE, Virginia A mid-first round talent who dropped down the board thanks to a hernia problem that required surgery after the college season. Miller still remains the best tight end prospect and would give Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger a nice option in the middle of the field. 31. Philadelphia Eagles: Matt Jones, QB/WR, Arkansas Jones is shooting up the draft board after posting a 4.39 in the 40 at 6-foot-6, 240 pounds. He will have a tough transition to make from quarterback to wide receiver, but a championship-caliber team like the Eagles can afford to give him time to work his way into a new position. He looked like a fifth-round pick after the college season but his great workouts have helped immensely. 32. New England Patriots: Justin Miller, CB, Clemson The Patriots were thin at corner last fall and Miller would fill that void nicely. He will be a nice nickel/dime back initially as he learns the system and gains experience, but he is also a great return man who will contribute on special teams.
  20. So you are saying that he is a pretty good minor league player
  21. I'd consider trading down in the 2nd round and take Vincent Jackson
  22. An IQ test players take prior to being drafted See the link below for sample questions http://espn.go.com/page2/s/closer/020228test.html
  23. Hangartner, Geoff © 47 Smith, Alex* (QB) 40 Miller, Heath* (TE) 39 Frye, Charlie (QB) 38 Fitzpatrick, Ryan (QB) 38 Castillo, Luis (DT) 37 Bajema, Billy (TE) 37 Baas, David (OG) 37 Berger, Joe (OT) 36 Bartell, Ronald (CB) 35 Ruud, Barrett (ILB) 35 Rodgers, Aaron* (QB) 35 LeFors, Stefan (QB) 35 Kieft, Adam (OT) 34 Benekos, Bryce (P) 34 Ochs, Craig (QB) 34 Grigsby, Boomer (ILB) 34 Brown, Tim (OT) 34 Canty, Chris (DE) 34 Preston, Duke © 33 Considine, Sean (FS) 33 Jones, Tyler (K) 33 Riddle, Ryan (DE) 33 Britt, Wesley (OT) 33 Seward, Adam (ILB) 33 Jackson, Vincent (WR) 33
  24. If the Henry for Shelton trade goes through I would be interested in Vincent Jasckon WR or a CB in the 2nd round Maybe the Bills could trade down & get Vincent Jackson & pick up an extra draft pick. Then take a CB in the 3rd round
  25. Frank Gore RB 6 Cedrick Williams CB 8 Mike Patterson DT 9 Lamont Reid CB 9 Eric Moore DE 9 Mike Mongomery DE 9 Chris Henry WR 9 Roscoe Parish WR 10 Travis Daniels CB 10 Howard Gilmore WR 10
