Who do you think he's referring to?
Jonny manziel

That was actually a very nice read

....sure this is old school stubbornness being older than dirt, but I am reticent about any first round investment in receivers, be it WR or TE, because I have YET to be convinced TT has the gray matter ability to process the field and find guys open that we do have...convince me otherwise,,,,,,,,,,,
All valid points
OJ Howard is a very good blocker in the run game. Adding essentially another tackle. Add 2 TE sets with Clay (who is also a very good run blocker) and we can mask our RT weaknesses
It also allows us to spread clay outside on certain packages while keeping Howard inline as a blocker/checkdown/Recieving option where TT often turns too
He is also too big for safeties and too fast/smooth for 90% of LBrs
Complete package and nightmare matchup that TT shouldn't even struggle to find

I like both of the top guys and won't say he has a higher ceiling than them. But my bigger point is so much more important what team they go to.
I'm honestly not sure Davis/ Williams will have better production on our team than a 4th rounder who goes to another team. And this Reynolds guy plays with an edge.
Howard
Mahomes
Reynolds
And the rest defensive players would be a great draft for me.
I understand your point.
There will probably be a handful of talented recievers on the board in the third and fourth round
Those guys benefit the most also when they get picked up by teams with established great QBs like Pittsburgh, and New England or Green bay
-
The thing is....when you get past your first round pick (and even then) it is a lot harder to predict what is actually gonna be on the board in those rounds....
Lets say you dont take a pass catcher early......and it is absolute need......then there is a run on the position.
Now your stuck because you decided to wait until the 4th round.
Im all in on OJ Howard myself......
If we go offense I hope it's Howard
He would add the most versatility and upgrade our offense immediately
-
This is why the talk of a receiver in the 1st round blows my mind as incredibly stupid. This guy might be a 4th rounder and if he goes to the right team, he could outproduce a top 10 pick. I got this from a Steelers site and they are awesome at evaluating WRs. I think this guy is a perfect compliment to Sammy.

Honestly he's nothing like Mike Williams or Corey Davis as a prospect
He's good
But he's slight of frame with not much room for growth and he's not a burner
Solid 4-5 round pick but his skill set is vastly inferior to the top guys and he doesn't have a high ceiling
-
Nakamura is like goldust + hbk
And michael Jackson
-
For sureYeah and all these experts on here think he can`t cover as good either. Duh...He started out as a corner there. Got bigger and stronger and moved to De. the boy can move.
He's just always played on the outside so he has never stacked and shed blocks like a true Mike Linebacker
He might be better suited for a will backer spot
-
They really are completely different players and positionsI'm not a scout, but I don't see what everyone else see's in Foster. To me he looks like he's slowed down on the field because he's thinking too much. As a result, he seems to play smart, but reactionary football.
On the other hand, watch someone like Haason Reddick play. That guy attacks the offense and just plays faster.
Cliche to say this, but Foster has a higher floor, Reddick has a higher ceiling. But I'd take Reddick over Foster all day.
Reddick HAS BEEN primarily used as an OLB and edge rusher while foster is a true Mike
Reddick will never be a Mike Linebacker in the NFL IMO
-
I'm right with youYes. Perfect fit imo.
While he can be a very very good MLB , he can truly be special at the WILL with his explosiveness and play making
Never leave the Field

Owens won me over because he seemed like a real person that I might meet on the street or something. Whereas others in WWE I feel like they're beautiful, perfect wrestling robots sometimes that are not as relatable.
If you have WWE Network consider checking out some of Shinsuke in NXT, especially his debut match against Sami Zayn (Takeover Dallas April 1 2016). Straight fire.
If you're interested here's Nakamura/Styles in New Japan with English commentary (including Matt Striker), I believe it was AJ's last match there before debuting at the Royal Rumble weeks later. Presence is a great way to describe Shin.

I do have the network.
It's just that with work, and all my football related stuff I can only keep up with WWE storylines lol
I did know of him though and im curious to see how they book him
-
This thread is yet another example that this is clearly no the case.
Jezz, look at this one--it's right there:
http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/193196-5-players-you-would-be-happy-with-at-pick-10/page-1
On the first page of that thread plenty listed Foster as a guy they would like at 10.
I wanted to have a discussion on Rueben Foster.
It's just grumpy around here

Good point. They hardly even let Ambrose have a competitive match with Brock, it was almost a glorified squash. Instead they gave that story to Shane McMahon in his match with 'Taker that night, the underdog who kept kicking out and gave the monster a run for his money. It was as if they see Shane as a bigger draw than Dean.
I think we mostly agree that Ambrose/Owens have awesome talent and could be a bigger deal but the company hasn't completely gotten behind them.
I'm with you on the Prizefighter gimmick for KO too, I was real into his work at that time. He's a lot better at that than playing a suit-wearing corporate patsy.
Enjoy!!!!!!! I need to get to more live shows. Great move brother.
Totally agree with you about KO. I didn't know much about him before he debuted but he won me over quick with his in ring work and great heel work
I really don't know much about the king of strong style but I have a feeling he'll win me over quick. He has been around the world and has a great "presence" around him
-
we have over 10 topics on this. It is better not to flood the board with duplicate threads. Do post but use the search to find that you could have put it in one of the other threads.
There isn't 1 thread solely dedicated to Reuben Foster that I could find
I was gonna name the thread Rueben Foster... He isn't the SOLE topic of a thread I could find
-
You could have put this in any of the other 10 threads on who to pick at 10
There are 20 threads dedicated to Mahomes and I checked before hand not 1 for Foster.
So Rueben Foster thread
-
I believe guys like Adams and Lattimore and hooker will be gone by the time we pick
Realistically, looking through all the prospects who will probably be available I have zoned in on one guy that fits McDermotts D to perfection
Reuben Foster LB Alabama
This kid is the real deal and a playmaker at the LB position. Fast, rangy, strong as a bull with premier instincts
He has great burst and instincts in the run game, coupled with hips that rotate loosely in pass coverage
He absolutely smacked leanord Fournette in a way that he's never been hit. He brought the hammer and Fournette was the nail
A true 3 down linebacker in the mold of a Bobby Wagner
I'd love to have him

5.7 ypc average, best in the NFL last year. Go watch our home Miami game, fastest man on the field.
He and Zeke Elliot are the only two guys that consistently get around the outside and up the sidelines. Maybe Jamaal Charles. That sets up the cutback nicely.
Whaley's low tender was a ballsy move, he used it to set a benchmark for negotiations like he did with Groy. They'll work it out to $2m per year with incentives.
Gillislee always looks super fast out there because he comes in after shady wears out the Defense
They got hands on their hips and then TD Mike comes in at 100%
He's got burst but he isn't the fastest player on our offense let alone team
Love his game tho

Ambrose's fight with Corbin was supposed to be in the main card and it got pushed to the pre show because he was drunk at the hall of fame ceremonyOwens got the title only when everyone else got injured/punished, was literally handed the title by HHH to kick off Hunter's money feud with Rollins, and played third fiddle to Reigns and Goldberg/Brock his whole title reign before dropping the title in a 1 or 2-minute match with no rematch, all while developing his undercard feud with Jericho. Ambrose spent Wrestlemania fighting Baron Corbin on the pre-show. If you wanna say they're above Miz okay, but they're not utilized as money-draws the same way as those other names I listed who stayed put. That's all I'm saying, that the 'Superstar Shake-Up' didn't really shake up the top of the card so it feels like empty hype. I agree if they wanted to get behind those guys they could elevate them as the talent is there.
Side note, why don't they let Ambrose go heel? His heel promos with The Shield kicked ass.
I would love a heel turn with Ambrose, he needs a shakeup
And KO is super talented and has been one of the best wrestler's in the promotion since he joined. His universal title reign was poorly booked because he lost his "prizefighter" edge when he became best buds with Jericho
Lesnar also could've helped push Ambrose over at WrestleMania last year but refused to put on a good match because he dogs it when no title is on the line
-
Guy is so cool
They killed Revival's theme music with that remix.
No real main eventers switched brands, I guess Miz if you consider him that...but all the top acts like Shinsuke, Styles, Orton, Rollins, Finn, Reigns, Cena all stayed put. I'm left wondering what the point of the whole thing was. And they had such goodwill with me after the awesome Wrestlemania week. shrug. I've just discovered the magic of Lucha Underground anyways
Nikki changed hair colors in the middle of their segment!
Kevin Owens and Dean Ambrose have definitely solidified the fact they can draw and be main eventers in the past 2 year's.. both get hurt by suspect booking
Both them are above the miz IMO

If we are talking about guys who improved on their previous season WITH the Bills, then probably Miller.
As far as most improved on their previous season in general, I would have to think Lorenzo Alexander would probably be the answer by a mile. From a relative nobody to a mid season sack leader and pro bowl MVP. I'd say that's improvement. I would also say Douzable was much improved from his previous level of play in the league.
If we are talking most improved from the beginning of the season, il say it was O'leary. The guy ended up looking pretty good at the end of the season after looking like he wouldn't even get a uniform on game day. That's why I can't understand the TE draft talk. This team has had 3 or 4 good tight ends in the last 40 years....Right now we have 2 that are pretty good. We don't need a TE. Certainly not in the 1st round. Go Bills!
All guys who got much better
But yes , I was talking about bills who improved upon their previous season with the bills

Hookers and hot dogs

It's a long long offseason and almost everything has been rehashed and discussed.
Recently, there have been lots of talk about our RT Mills.
After going to 12 games last year and rewatching all the games he was clearly the weakest link on the Oline and one of the weakest links on the team
He needs to be replaced but that isn't the point of this thread
The most improved Bills player, by a wide margin IMO, was John Miller
While his pass protection is still a work in progress he showed a vast improvement in technique and using his hands correctly in pass blocking
It's in the run game that he shines and I have no doubts he will overtake Richie as the best run blocker on our team
He has great athleticism and a very low base which lets him get under every player he encounters in the run game.
He is an old school mauler and his pull game is getting stronger which will only improve his game
He is young, strong, athletic and on the rise. I have no doubts he will be a stalwart on the Oline

Yes, title IX sucks. I understand the premise of it... but more times than not (most times) all it does is restrict opportunity.
UB Baseball was kind of a joke. I play on their field sometimes in the Summer and it is a disgrace. Our DIII field was 50x better than that. The coach treated it like his baby, and players' responsibilities included routine grounds maintenance. Not sure if UB would ever be competitive in the MAC. They are at a huge recruiting disadvantage
While UB's baseball facilities may not be top notch
They do put out some good prospects
My buddy could've played anywhere in the country but stayed home at UB and was drafted in the top 15 rounds last year
He will probably be pitching in the big league's one day

I just lost my Dad 2 weeks ago and miss him much but don't want to hijack 716's thread so going to leave it there.
My threads are for everybody!
Sorry to hear about your loss
Prayers will be said. God bless and stay strong
