LEBills

I have only seen him in coverage a few times, most of the time he is rushing the passer from the edge. Probably would take a lot of training to get him to an off ball player. I think if you are looking for guys that maybe could learn to be good off ball players, Yasir Abdullah has the most potential. I’ll link to my post in a previous thread below. He was a big time edge rusher but was played off ball and in space a good amount and did well.

Im going to throw a fourth name into this discussion and it’s Yasir Abdullah from Louisville. He played both on and off the ball at Louisville and was really an exceptional pass rusher for them. But he is small and will be served best if a team takes him under their wing and make him off ball the entire time. His RAS is top notch as well: And watching him, he has shown me a lot of flashes of what you want from your Linebacker. Maybe the most impressive is blanketing a WR on a wheel route for the pick: https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkx8512w6wUZTinKx_HIWg-esTnSZ6CTU3p He had himself a game against FSU, blowing up one screen coming from the other side of the field https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxLn9kCB_OiotUc4cPDDVWczTP_mfdx6Pt One screen where he avoided the lineman https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxYnZf9c3C150Jx62v0fhgglaZWo48ARIe and two interceptions, this one was a bit more impressive watching the QBs eyes: https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxKbXim2QpIg6zlTdedDFumv87Mid3kq-9 And was able to chase down the speedy Sean Tucker on a screen pass out of the backfield. https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxWGZTnythkHIZ0dg0g7VrDpiDsI8r1iEt I think he may last until day 3 due to his tweener status but he would be a great addition to our LB room, especially if he gets to sit a year to focus on off ball LB. Plus he adds pass rush which is a nice bonus

Wow that’s some real safety help 1.7 million dollars? Haha

I believe Campbell was released and so that wouldn’t affect comp picks

Need a none option

I know JMS is listed as the top Center basically everywhere, but I think he is at best a third rounder and would rather have Tippman and Avila over him assuming a gap run scheme. Schmitz is older and probably close to maxed out, his balance is not great and he winds up on the ground way too much because of it. He is athletic for his position but I don’t think he is as athletic as Tippman or anywhere near as strong as Avila. Tippman is Mitch Morse and I would be ok with the Bills drafting him in Rd2 to keep that kind of presence in the middle of our line once Morse has to hang them up.

I would still be skeptical it had been reported earlier that day that the Bills had Edwards in for a visit and a few hours later he tweeted he was going to sign. He may have sources but it is still could have just been a good guess

Ooof, gotta go OT with the first pick. Can’t screw around

As long as he is OT4 or 5 and for little money it’s an ok signing. Can’t go into the season with him as OT3 again

Thought he was already retired

Yasir Abdullah is more of an Edge rusher/OLB but man is he talented and would love him on the Bills. Play him like they did Zo Alexander.

I mean the Bills brought him in for a visit so they must still be looking. I am a little incredulous that Sherfield or Harry will be long term answers in our WR room. This is a great year to get a slot superstar between JSN, Flowers, Downs, Dell and Jarrett. Certainly missed that in our offense last year.

Bergeron in a trade down into the second and Tank Dell in round three would be an excellent beginning of the draft

KC also swapped their first rounder for the Raven second rounder and Orlando Brown which by the value chart was worth about a second round pick. They paid Joe Thuney $80 million over 5 years at LG and just paid Juwan Taylor $80 million over four years. And they hit on their Center pick at #63 as well as their RG pick in round 6 or who knows what they would do there in the future. Andy Reid has always invested in the OLine going back to his Eagles days. We need playmakers but getting 4 out of 5 of our starting lineman to be high performing players helps the offense too.

It’s the only RT we have on the roster so it makes sense that he is giving him a vote of confidence. But I think the Bernard pick last year shows they are ok letting a 3rd round pick be a backup. Hopefully that means they bring in someone good to let Brown compete with and either win it or sit on the bench. I think they will draft an OT early this year because we don’t have a ton of money to spend on a FA tackle to give that competition but that is maybe the optimist in me

I like Campbell and he did do very well at the Combine but I think he is a little overvalued on this board. I think a good comparison is Leo Chenal - another big 10 LB who blew up the combine - who the Chiefs took in the third round. Campbell is better because he does better in coverage than Chenal did but I think round 3 is about right for him. It’s a very weak class so maybe he gets pushed to round 2. Round 1 should be out of the question imo

I’m not sure about the first pick, but via FA or by round 2 we really need to draft a tackle. We only have Dawkins and Brown on the roster right now (I don’t count Doyle coming off injury or practice squad guys as real depth). Darnell Wright, Matt Bergeron, Blake Freeland, Wanya Morris all would be worth Rd 2 capital tho some will be gone before then

Im not sure anyone will ever be Kelce. But he definitely plays like Zach Ertz and wears the same number. If the injury to his back is not serious long term then he would be worth our first pick depending on how the rest of the board fell

1.2 is perfect. Basically no investment. When he started for a team with any semblance of talent with the 18-19 Panthers he was 6-7 as a starter. That’s normally all you can ask for out of a backup QB

Always like McKenzie the guy. Did well in Dabolls offense as a gadget guy but couldn’t successfully expand his role as a returner or slot receiver. Thankful for what he did provide but it was time for a change.

Evan Brown would be a very nice fit here I think. I thought I heard Lewan was leaning toward retirement.

As long as it is dirt cheap I like it

People may remember when we signed Beasley, his advanced stats with Dallas were great though a much bigger sample size. Seems they are searching for a similar hit with Harty where he can be successful with increased volume. Let’s hope it works out as well again

I guess we will see if he does both punt and kick returns again this year. Still scarred from the McKenzie punt returner year lol

Westbrook is a bigger receiver and has had some moments in an awful Titans passing attack. May not be a bad player to target for WR 6/7 if he is inexpensive.
