  1. As far as OC goes I think its Dorsey's job to lose. The word "continuity" gets thrown around quit a bit by both Beane and Mcdermott, and the offense was literally record breaking this season. If it ain't broke.....

    I think a dark horse for the DC job is Steve Wilkes. Obvioulsy the Panther ties are a strong pull with Bean and McDermott, both of whom gushed over Wilkes and were quoted as being "jealous" that the Browns were able to sign Wilks and linebacker coach Al Holcomb.

  2. I think it was the 49ers game in SanFran. One of the few times we were in the redzone Fitzpatrick tried to throw an endzone corner route and the wind just knocked his throw out of the endzone. I think it landed around the 3 yard line.... that was painful to see.  For those that don't remember the 49ers routed us, and Alex smith didn't have an issue with the wind. He threw for 237 yards in the 1st half.

    Ya know what's weird?

    When McDermott came in, he had the reputation of being a guy who didn't need top tier cornerbacks in his system for it to succeed. As long as they were smart and well-versed in zone coverage, they had a chance to excel in his scheme. Josh Norman was taken in the 5th round and turned into a Pro Bowler under McDermott's watch. Levi Wallace was undrafted and has performed reasonably well. EJ Gaines has not had a particularly decorated NFL career, but arguably his best performance ever was in McDermott's defense.

    With this being case -- McDermott's defense being one that does not need top tier man coverage cornerbacks or supreme athletes at the position in order to thrive -- it would be strange to wind up having a 1st round pick at CB1 and a 2nd round pick at CB2.

    Put a different way: With Levi Wallace, Josh Norman, and EJ Gaines already competing at CB2, and knowing how well McDermott seems to be able to garner production from later round picks, do the Bills really need to spend a 2nd round pick on a cornerback? Is that really the best use of our most premium remaining draft asset this year? I know, I know, "BPA no matter what!", I just...so much resources invested in the secondary. I'd rather see a front seven player or an offensive lineman or an offensive playmaker. Maybe it's just me.

    this is so..... "Logic"-al.   OOOOooooooooo SNAP!  I couldn't help myself. In all seriousness this does make a lot of sense. Finding a late rounder to learn from a veteran DB room seems more likely

    Again, these players issues (or mis-diagnosed issues) were known at the combine.  Not applicable for the current situation.  Lack more physicals shouldn't have any impact on this process.

     

    Bowers washed out of the league on a raft of gun charges, substance abuse suspensions and a torn achilles.  HE would have been a total disasters as a top pick.

    The combine took place in February, Bowers medical re-evaluation was in April. 
     

    "The medical re-visit is for the guys who are currently undergoing treatment, have a surgery scheduled for a condition or are not yet completely rehabilitated," Matava made clear. "For example, a player might have his ACL repaired a week before the combine, so he's going to be on crutches.

    "At this stage in the recovery, we can't learn very much from an examination. We will order an X-ray to see how his graft was placed, but it's too soon to know much more than that about his recovery. These players will come back a month or two later–when they are off their crutches and are doing their rehabilitation—so we can have a better idea or how they are doing in their recuperation

  5. Ben Bartch - OL - St. John’s (MN)

     

    Player Summary - Ben Bartch is a high end developmental OT prospect who, with some additional time in an NFL strength and conditioning program, should become a quality starter at the NFL level. Bartch has wonderful fundamentals for a small school prospect and, with a bit more added functional strength to his frame, should be a well rounded pass protector. Bartch's resume is boosted by a strong showing at the 2020 Senior Bowl — he proved his mettle against a slew of pass rushers in Mobile.

    Derrek Tuszka - DL - NDSU

     

    Tuszka's film doesn't lie. He had a combined 40.5 tackles for loss and 28.5 sacks in his final three seasons as part of a rotating DE group. He certainly has the size at 6-foot-5 and 251 pounds. But what's critical for FCS players, who face the level of competition question mark, is testing well athletically.

    That's where Tuszka has seen his draft stock sore.

    His numbers at the combine and where it ranked among defensive linemen:

    • 4.79-second 40-yard dash -- T7th 
    • 33.5-inch vertical -- 5th
    • 120-inch broad jump - T6th
    • 6.87-second 3-cone drill - 1st
    • 4.34-second 20-yard shuttle - 3rd

    James Lynch - DL - Baylor

    Two-year starter who was named Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year, led the conference with 13.5 sacks and made 41 tackles (19.5 for loss) with three forced fumbles and five pass breakups as a junior in 2019.

    Positives
    Game-impacting pass rusher who displayed consistent progress during his career. Breaks down well, plays with terrific pad level and shows a variety of moves to get off blocks. Instinctive, quickly locates the action and slides down the line to make plays on the ball. Nicely redirects to the action and immediately alters his angle of attack. Keeps his feet moving, works his hands and consistently gets leverage on opponents. Can bend off the edge, displays a burst of closing speed and wraps up tackling.
