Then why don’t these differences show up in the stats?
Because that isn't what scouting is. I really don't get it. I'm a big stats nerd. I love analyzing data. But I would never think a college player's stat sheet has anything to do with their NFL prospects. At the NFL level you can glean a lot from stats, but in college some schools are practically playing different sports. Tyree was playing in a college offense. He didn't have to hit tight windows. He was chucking the ball 30 yards downfield to wide open receivers and he did it moderately well. He hasn't shown any NFL traits at all.

Jackson just looks out of control on tape. He looks terrible.
This is it. Allen showed spotty accuracy and sometimes left the design of the play early. Jackson had those problems all the time. He is not inconsistent, he is consistently inaccurate and bad. The only reason he got any attention in Buffalo is that he played college here. I'll say as someone that did not want Allen last year I thought he would have been a good pick in the 2nd, and this year I thought Tyree would be a good pick in the 7th.

Yea, numbers are for nerds. Facts just get in the way of the tried and true ol' eyeball test.
Wasn't there a QB who threw 5 INTs in a single game who you continually propped up as a starter? So I guess your eyeball test is okay.

Insanely quick is better than really fast.
For a running back.
This. It is pretty rare that RBs are breaking 50+ yard TDs these days. It is far more important to consistently pick up 5 yards than it is to have breakaway speed.

I feel like a move for another DE is coming. We didn't add a single edge rusher until the 7th round. No way they believe in Shaq Lawson and Trent Murphy that much. I also expect Hughes to get an extension.

Well that's intriguing. I would guess just camp fodder though. He would fit better long term with a team that has an older QB.

They must like Foster a lot. He is the only receiver on the roster that has shown #1 ability. I'm a little skeptical but I'd love to see him take that next step this year.
One very happy man today is Duke Williams. I think he has a 50/50 shot to make the team which is at least double the odds he had after free agency.

Decent detailed write-up.
That scouting report reminds me of Jesse James.

I appreciate the good press but I have to laugh at draft grades on draft weekend. No one really has a clue. I always try to find the good in every pick but who knows. What I really don't understand is the posters who act like any pick is terrible and some other player would have been better. We're all just guessing.

Go back and watch Robert Foster at the end of the season.
The Bills must be high on Foster. At the very least they are going to give him an opportunity to prove he is a #1. If not, next year's draft is supposed to be a strong WR class.

I’ll say this draft does bode well for duke williams, he’ll get comp in UDFA but has to be considered early fav to make roster if they keep 6
It is interesting. I was hoping we'd draft a WR this year but maybe they like Duke better than I thought.

Religious.
Weird how the Bills always draft football players that are religious. Most football players are known for their harsh anti-Jesus stance.

who is our #1 then, Einstein?
Try watching the 2nd half of last season. You might notice another guy.

I figured they'd go with special teams players in the 6th and 7th rounds. It's been a big focus the whole offseason.

This is not scouting. This is looking at a stat sheet. That is the last thing the NFL cares about.

For a guy that constantly says we select best player available, today says quite the contrary.
Every GM says this, and then every GM picks for need. They weren't coming out of this draft without a TE.

Scribo linked to this early.
does not not mean he is poor receiver nd please see my more recent above. He was the worst rated among that group of rookies. Respectfully, I’m not sure he makes a great long armed target.
Their reasoning is that he didn't have a lot of receptions in college. It has nothing to do with his skill set, for whatever reason that offense just didn't like to use him in the passing game. Doesn't sound like he has any issues catching the ball. I'm not expecting him to have a big catch radius but he's shifty in the open field.

I think Shady is gone, unfortunately
Beane already quashed that. I think it's more likely they cut Dimarco and basically give Gore his spot.
2 hours ago, SCBills said:RBs drafted in the 3rd Round are expected to play, not learn for a year.... especially on teams that have needs elsewhere.
I don't know why everyone assumes he's redshirting this year. My bet is he competes with Yeldon for the #2 spot. Shady is getting up there and tends to miss a couple games every year. They will need fresh legs this season .

, I am pumping the brakes on the idea that a 5'-7", 3rd round draft pick who is a poor receiver
Is he a poor receiver? I know he doesn't have the receiving stats in college but he seemingly has the skill set to play a big role in our passing game.

Preston Williams - WR (Colorado State) 7th Rd
He's this year's Nathan Peterman at WR for me.
RIP Preston Williams

I like this pick a lot but I am surprised after we just signed Yeldon. We cant carry 4 RBs. Feels like we should have waited to sign Yeldon if they liked any of these mid-round RBs.

I can't find this recorded anywhere. Where did you get this from?
