Round 6 Pick 209 (31): OT Luke Tenuta, Virginia Tech
MAJBobby replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall
Now his RAS is a bit better being run as a OG. Goes up to a 5.86 -
I just want to see that one Punt from our own 25. Downed at the opponents 3. talk about ability to flip a field That’s why he went in the 6th and the others went in 4th.

Doesn’t have experience Holding. The other punters did.

Round 6 Pick 209 (31): OT Luke Tenuta, Virginia Tech
MAJBobby replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall
Yeah I had better choices IMO. Especially in that IOL pivot area. But unless a plan to move Doyle inside and develop another pivot. That interior OL I would still like in the 7th. -
Round 6 Pick 209 (31): OT Luke Tenuta, Virginia Tech
MAJBobby replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall
I think a lot to do with How tall he is. (Cannot Fix). But add power and flexibility (can fix) that should be able to get leverage back. likely never will be a starter even with development. Probably best can hope for is that 6th OL (with development) -

Nice OL prospect. But I think more Swing OT or OT/OG (similar to Doyle). still want that interior pivot as well. -

I read OT/OG and Swing OT. best in a Zone Scheme -
Round 6 Pick 209 (31): OT Luke Tenuta, Virginia Tech
MAJBobby replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall
After redshirting in 2019, Luke Tenuta started five games in 2019 and nine games in 2020 at right tackle. He flipped to the left side in 2021 and appeared just as comfortable as he did on the right side. That versatility to play either side is critical to Tenuta as he projects best to a swing tackle role at the next level. Tenuta is a smart football player with good temperament, awareness, and control given his size. With that said, his excessive height presents notable challenges with leverage, winning with first contact, protecting his edges, and establishing consistency with his hands. Despite mostly playing with good knee bend and weight distribution, he simply plays too tall and has to fight his frame to be in consistently good positions to execute. Tenuta moves well for his frame and can be trusted to widen gaps in zone. I like his control and consistency executing on the move when working in space. He projects well as a developmental swing tackle in a McVay/Shanahan-style offense, but there are some things he’ll need to overcome to truly stick and claim a role in the NFL. Ideal Role: Developmental swing tackle Scheme Fit: Zone run scheme Balance: Tenuta is very tall and it creates some challenges with leverage and opponents being able to get under his pads with the natural punch track being down. With that said, I am impressed with his overall coordination for a man of his stature in terms of movement skills. But when contact is introduced and the need to protect his edges exists to sustain blocks, there are challenges. Pass Sets: There are positive reps of Tenuta reaching his set points and placing roadblocks to maintain the width of the pocket, but there is also inconsistency as evidenced by the West Virginia game. There are instances where he fails to get enough width/depth in his true pass sets and it softens the angle for his opponent. Competitive Toughness: Tenuta has a hot motor and good temperament. He gets after people in space and continually looks for work. He executes with the desired edge needed in an offensive lineman. Lateral Mobility: Tenuta has sound lateral movement skills, especially when factoring in his size. I’ve seen him hinge, pivot, and redirect while remaining in good control. He isn’t overly springy, but he moves sufficiently for his frame. Length: For an offensive lineman with his height, I expected his length to be more of a factor on tape. Instead, his height robs him of length as he’s forced to punch downward. Add in wide hand placement and carriage and it’s surprising how often his opponents are able to work into his frame. Football IQ: Tenuta comes from a family of coaches and athletes. He functions with a good understanding of timing and with good awareness. Penalties have only been a minor issue for him in college. Hand Technique: Tenuta has some flashy moments with his hands where placement, fit, and variance shine. With that said, his strikes can come in wide and from a downward angle which creates some issues with winning with first contact and controlling reps. When he sets the clamps, his grip strength is firm. Anchor Ability: Tenuta has a sufficient anchor but he plays so tall that there can be issues. While he does well to balance his weight and bend at the knees, opponents regularly get under his pads and win the leverage battle, which compromises his anchor. Power at POA: Tenuta has sufficient power at the point of attack but would still benefit from adding more functional strength to maximize his potential. His inability to play with consistent leverage robs him of power. It’s hard for him to utilize his entire body to generate maximum power. Versatility: Tenuta spent two seasons at right tackle before flipping to left tackle in 2021. He is likely a tackle only as his frame does not project well to the interior. He is best suited for a zone blocking scheme. Prospect Comparison: Sam Young (2010 NFL Draft, Dallas Cowboys) -Marino from the Draftnetwork -

Round 6 Pick 209 (31): OT Luke Tenuta, Virginia Tech
MAJBobby replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall
Strengths Solid positional run blocker who flashes the nasty demeanor and killer instinct scouts covet. Quick out of his stance with the footwork to be effective in front of screens. Willing to get out in front of ballcarriers to take out defensive backs and linebackers. Best on the outside because of his height and athleticism, but is capable of blocking on the move. Adequate foot quickness to remain outside. Can get to the second level with surprising agility when adjusting to moving defenders. Underrated athleticism, agility, balance, and even straight-line speed to contribute. Has the agility, technique, and size to contribute early in his professional career. Quick, active hands to latch on to defenders. Weaknesses High-cut and doesn't bend knees well. Set in pass protection is high, and that affects the power and ability to anchor and causes him to bend at the waist. Height can be a detriment in short-yardage, defender can get under his pads to hold the line. Has inconsistent footwork and body positioning and needs to improve his blocking angles. Loses leverage battles and plays with high pad level. Can be late off the snap. Flashes the ability to move his man with his hands, but is not yet consistent in this area. https://www.nfldraftbuzz.com/Player/Luke-Tenuta-OL-VirginiaTech he is an OT/OG prospect. Still need that interior OG/C IMO -

Get me at least 1 pivot IOL out of the last two picks. -
Rd 6 pick 185 (6): CB Christian Benford, Villanova
MAJBobby replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall
Another TOP end RAS profile in Buffalo. They sure do have a type at this point. With at least one composite graded ELITE. those Agility scores are why I am thinking a better safety than CB. -
Like I do every year I will keep all the reported signings below. However they tend to come fast and Furious. So if you see one not listed here feel free to say it and tag me with link. Will update the main post. as we are in the rounds players are sitting there thinking might be better to go UDFA at this point I figured I would start the thread to be ready to start updating it. I know in past I loved UDFA looking for players to still contribute right away. Bills are no longer at that point but get me players with at least ONE elite trait RB Raheem Blackshear TE Jalen Wydermyer - there is a chance to make the team here CB Travon Fuller DT Prince Emili WR Malik Williams WR Neil Pau’u IOL Alex Anderson Edge Kingsley Jonathan WR Keith Corbin OL Derek Kerstetter OL Tanner Owen 75 on Contract (with draft picks) 11 UDFAs reportedly signed 86 on roster (4 open spots) Rookie Camp Invite (3) S Jay Lenard LS Cole Jenkins CB Ja'Marcus Ingram

Last major need. Get me a Pivot IOL depth prospect and everything that needed to be done this weekend was done before the UDFA period. -
Rd 6 pick 185 (6): CB Christian Benford, Villanova
MAJBobby replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall
This is what I am thinking. We will see where they put in come practices. I am guessing he is a Safety prospect for Bills. checks the boxes for Safety top end tackler good in Zone ball skills. smart. -

a lot of reading. Seeing a lot of scouts say might be a better Safety than CB because he is very good in Zone. -

One Report on Him. One-liner: A big physical cornerback, with ball-hawking skills and lockdown capabilities. This is a player that put in the right situations, can become a star. Pros: This is a big-bodied cornerback, with a surprisingly thick build for his position. He plays a very physical game and is able to completely eliminate a wide receiver from a game. Great initial jam at the line that can stifle a receiver on his takeoff. Excellent in zone coverage, whether he is playing tight or soft coverage. With exceptional closing speed, he can really limit the yardage on short passes. Strong and active hands that he uses extremely well. He has phenomenal ball skills, he can easily track passes and pick them off. Uses his size well and hits with force, which helps make him a good tackler. Leads by example. He never quits on a play and has no problem chasing down an opponent, even if he is on the opposite side of the field. Has the versatility to play both the outside and inside cornerback positions. Cons: Not the fastest cornerback, he is definitely susceptible to getting beat by the deep ball. If he misses his initial jam attempt, he sometimes gets a slow start and loses his coverage. He needs to play either soft coverage or tight press coverage, when he is in intermediate coverage he struggles to keep up with receivers. For some reason, that type of coverage gets him confused about what to do. Doesn’t have enough quickness to play only man coverage, he is very vulnerable to fast and twitchy receivers. He gives up too much ground in man and then doesn’t have the speed to catch up with the receiver once he chooses the direction of the route. For how physical he plays, he has a hard time shedding blockers and can easily get lost in the flow of a run play. It really seems that if he doesn’t initiate contact on a play, he struggles to recover. Summary: This is a big, physical cornerback with great ball-hawking abilities and a ton of overall potential. Hard initial punch when pressing receivers and can completely stop their momentum coming off of the line of scrimmage. He has a strong inside hand and has the ability to keep the receiver in front of him. Outstanding ball skills. Not only can intercept any pass, but he is great at tracking the ball and using his hands correctly to break up passes. Very versatile player, he can play all of the cornerback positions. He is not the fastest cornerback however and is very vulnerable against the deep ball. He can play both man and zone coverage effectively but will be much more successful in a zone coverage scheme. He plays a very physical game and has no problem delivering a big hit, as long as he initiates contact. If he isn’t the one engaging, he can be taken out of a play. Really struggles shedding blockers and will get lost in the flow of a play. Doesn’t have the ability to match elite speed. That being said he does have a terrific motor and will never give up on a play, even if it’s on the opposite side of the field. -

MAJBobby replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall
He doesn’t play to that timed speed all the time. More Quick than Fast.
