  1. 4 games under 50 percent completions vs 2 games over 60 percent completions tells me Allen has problems with completion percentage, His completion percentage being right near the bottom of the league is a problem. Him having mor interceptions than to passes is a problem too. If the players have high drop rates it could be because he is throwing the ball too hard in some cases and is lacking touch. He runs well and does a good job of avoiding the rush, but he needs to improve as a passer.

    I'm not really too familiar with some of the new lineman that the Bills signed this past week, so I looked up their rankings in PFF.  Here's how the 2018 group compares to the current linemen for 2019.  If the PFF rankings mean anything to you - it appears that the Bills shuffled around the chairs on the deck of the Titanic.  Based on the numbers here, there's a marginal improvement at Right Tackle and Center.  Everyone else appear to be a substitution of average to below average depth players....

     

    New signees like Waddle, Felciano, and Spencer long are ranked just as low 2018 underperforming class of Vlad and Ryan Groy.  Spencer Long was actually worse than Ryan Groy!!!

     

    Many say that these PFF rankings are pure BS...let's hope they are right.

    I think John Feliciano payed hurt last year but had a grade of 71.1 in 2017

     

  3. Sugar Bowl, Clemson CB Ryan Carter

    Cornerback Ryan Carter allowed just a 52.6 passer rating as the primary coverage defender, allowing just 25 catches on 53 targeted passes. He brought down three interceptions and recorded another six pass breakups this season as for the second consecutive season has seen a passer rating of lower than 53.0 into his coverage. – @PFF_Cam

    Sugar Bowl, Alabama CB Levi Wallace

    Perhaps 2017’s biggest breakout story from a defense back position was the play of Levi Wallace, a former walk-on who dominated in coverage this season. Wallace was targeted 55 times as opposing offenses steered away from Fitzpatrick, but allowed just 22 receptions and fielded the nation’s 14th-lowest passer rating when targeted at just 37.5 (a figure that is good enough for eighth-best among draft-eligible cornerbacks). – @PFF_Cam

    1 (7) Josh Allen, QB, Wyoming, 73.6
    1 (16) Tremaine Edmunds, LB, Virginia Tech, 87.1
    3 (96) Harrison Phillips, DI, Stanford, 90.3
    4 (121) Taron Johnson, CB, Weber State, n/a
    5 (154) Siran Neal, S, Jacksonville State, n/a
    5 (166) Wyatt Teller, G, Virginia Tech, 86.7
    6 (187) Ray-Ray McCloud, WR, Clemson, 68.5
    7 (255) Austin Proehl, WR, UNC, 80.3 

     

     

    Day 1: The rumors were heavy that the Bills would move up to take Josh Allen, and they did just that. Allen has a cannon for an arm, combined with the size and athleticism to make spectacular plays outside the pocket, but he comes with big question marks in key areas, namely his accuracy and decision-making. He’s ranked among the nation’s worst in negatively-graded throws over the last two years and he finished 29th out of 38 quarterbacks in the draft class at avoiding turnover-worthy throws last season. The big-time throws are a part of his game as Allen had the highest percentage in the nation in 2016, while ranking seventh in the draft class last year, and the Bills must let him use his arm and playmaking ability down the field while trying to mitigate the accuracy issues and play recognition that has held his game back despite his electric skillset.

    Buffalo then made a move to grab Tremaine Edmunds, adding a much-needed athletic presence for the middle of their zone-heavy defense. Edmunds is not as polished as some of the other top linebackers in this class as he’ll often take the wrong gap in the run game, but his movement skills make him a weapon in coverage, whether covering ground in zone or matching up against opposing tight ends. He ranked ninth in the draft class with a run-stop percentage of 12.5 while posting a solid coverage grade of 81.0.

    Day 2: The Bills didn’t have a second-round pick, and they add help for their run defense with Harrison Phillips in the third. He is one of the best interior run defenders in the class, leading the way with a run-stop percentage of 13.3 last season to go with a 90.2 grade against the run. However, Phillips has not shown much as a pass-rusher, grading at 82.9 last season and finishing 53rd in the draft class with a pass-rush productivity of only 6.4.

    Day 3: Wyatt Teller could be a steal in the fifth round after posting four years of grading in between 86.0 and 89.3. He is a powerful run-blocker and he finished ninth in the draft class with a run-block success percentage of 92.2.

    Overall grade: Average

    Coverage snaps/completion %/passer rating: 206/29.0%/0.7

    Alabama always has physically-gifted and technically sound cornerbacks and this year is no different. Wallace predominantly lines-up on the left side of the Alabama defense and has an impressive coverage stat line of only nine catches on 30 targets for 95 yards with three interceptions. Most impressively however, is Wallace’s impact on a quarterback’s performance as the passer rating when throwing into Wallace’s coverage is what appears to be a typo at only 0.7, a mark which ranks him No. 1 among all FBS draft-eligible cornerbacks and a firm hold at the top of this list.

     CB Levi Wallace, Buffalo Bills | PFF Big Board Rank: No. 122

    Screen-Shot-2018-04-30-at-9.05.59-PM.png

    Former Alabama cornerback Levi Wallace (6-foot, 179 pounds; 4.62 40-yard dash) doesn’t have ideal measurables for the position at the next level, but his grades in his one year as a starter tell a different story.

    The former Crimson Tide walk-on played just 99 defensive snaps in his collegiate career before his senior campaign in Tuscaloosa. Despite his lack of experience, Wallace had exceptional coverage numbers across 782 defensive snaps in 2017. He ranked eighth among draft-eligible cornerbacks in passer rating allowed when targeted (44.3), allowing zero touchdowns and logging three interceptions in the process. He earned an 81.7 coverage grade for his efforts.

    The fear of Wallace being a one-year wonder is valid, and his lack of size will cost if he isn’t able to bulk up any further. However, the former ‘no-star’ recruit is no stranger to doubts and uphill battles, and if he can mirror his 2017 play in camp, he should defy the odds once again.

    95. Levi Wallace

    A great story, Wallace was a walk-on at Alabama, and went from flag football to starting for the Crimson Tide in just a few seasons. His one season of extensive playing time was excellent and he didn’t allow a single touchdown across 68 targets. He wasn’t beaten for a catch longer than 30 yards all year. Although, he did struggle at the Senior Bowl during practices and in the game, and is a very lightweight player that may be overmatched at the NFL level. – Sam Monson

    Bills signed Alabama CB Levi Wallace.
    Wallace (6’0/179) originally walked on at Alabama, paid his dues, and exploded as a senior to lead the SEC in pass breakups (18) with three interceptions. PFF College charged Wallace with an anemic 47.3 QB rating when targeted and zero TDs allowed. Wallace struggled with bigger, physical wideouts in the SEC and disappointed with a 4.63 forty in Indy, however, and his transition to covering NFL receivers is fair to doubt. May 2 - 7:47 PM
