CEN-CAL17

DLine wise.... Wren looked solid. But he’s kind of one dimensional. Doesn’t compare to Simmons, Oliver, Quinnen Williams, etc... Wren is a round 3 guy. He’s a Star type Dtackle vs a Kyle who had great hands, quick and could slip double teams.

I watched based on what I think the Bills need. Watched a lot of OLine v Dline. Dalton Risner Chris Lindstrom Garrett Bradbury Ben Powers Deebo Samuels But I also like Germaine Pratt and Dre Greenlaw. The Kid from Old Dominion can flat out run. I’d wait to see the combine to see if he does LB drills and pass drops. Dax Raymond was a nice prospect at TE. But the TE class is solid. I’d Say Dax is a 4th or 5th round pick.

Thing is the Senior Bowl has a handful of first round talent. 20-25 or so potential 2nd/3rd round guys. Most these guys are day 3 guys.

Those 2 played next to each other all day. They were high 5ing all day. Pumping each other up. After the day was over being the last practice they took pics together. Slight bromance I think.

It’s copy and pasted from notepad on phone. Lol I wasn’t going to retype everything. There’s errors but I hope everyone can get the Just

First off it was an amazing day in Mobile. North practice the weather was perfect. The South was later and it started to chill off a bit. Long story short, Grudens practice was more intense, his staff was more intense and seemed more structured vs the 49ers staff. I was one of the first fans in the stands. After I sat down I heard a voice that sounded familiar. I turned around and saw an older guy behind me in a Colts Beenie, it was Bill Polian, which he then sat behind me. About 10 mins later I got up to go to the restroom and I asked him if he had his Buffalo Beenie with him too. He laughed and shook his head yes. Anyways to the player observations... North Squad Mitch Wishnowski Punter Utah- Pretty good size kid 6’2” 220lbs, Live leg, big time hang time. Consistently 50-55 yard punts from line of scrimmage, 60-65 yards in air. Gruden was even pumping this kid up. This kid definitely gets drafted. Dalton Risner OT K State- during warmups jumped in at Center with Daniel Jones/Ryan Finley. Big Solid Dude, arm length is there. Biggest Center, only played center on warmups. Other centers were McCoy of Texas A&M, Garrett Bradbury of N.C. State and Michael Deiter Wisconsin. Risner has only 1 speed, always aggressive, he plays violent. Good movement looks coordinated. Plays under control, stays over his pads, never reaches. 1 play Down blocked on Cominsky open huge hole with initial punch. Was paired up against Zach Allen most the day. Allen was owned by Risner all day, which lead to Allen getting frustrated and a fight between two broke out. Zach Allen started it. Risner wasn’t going to back down. Risner is kind of nasty. The guy the gets the last shove as the whistle blows every play. He was very vocal. Constantly yelling out in support of his fellow Olinemen, “Good Shiz Chris (Lindstrom) Helll yeah.” Him and Lindstrom were 2 peas in a pod. Risner sounds and acted like a leader, verbally out loud pumping up his OL when doing good, pumping his fist after a good run, showing intensity after flooring someone. Dalton took on Wren and dominated him when Gruden called the team together for a 1 on 1 and paired the two against each other. Risner ran up to Gruden in excitement, don’t know exactly what he said but it was like a “I got this”... Michael Deiter OL Wisconsin- lined up everywhere, listed as 6’6” but looked little small, waist/lower body not thick. Struggled all day. 1 on 1 got pushed back often and just out muscles. Just did Not to have the power. Chris Lindstrom Boston College RG- Athletic somewhat lean but big /quick and fluid. Could probably stand to add 5-10 lbs. Great feet, another Coordinated guy. Recovered easily but can get over powered at times. Athletic enough to position himself while pulling. Solid Guard for sure. High effort kid. Garrett Bradbury C NC State- looks solid, big butt kid, Bradbury vs Wren was good all day, Bradbury winning nearly all even during team. Bradbury buried UW Gaines a couple times. Kid is solid. Great hands and feet. Good hands/seems strong. Gets out on screens well. Best Center at Senior Bowl. Max Sharping OT Northern Illinois- big kid, good build, feet below avg. gets beat inside pretty consistently RT is in his future. May take a couple years as a teams swing tackle. Potential is there, just needs the time experience and coaching. Renell Wren DT ASU- freakishly big, big butt solid all around. Destroyed Texas A&M center McCoy on first 1 on 1. Quick off the ball, explosive and that’s about it. Extends arms well. Got Beat up on the double team. Slow moving laterally. Not quick enough to slip double teams. Hands need to get better. This will be a run stuffer DT, didn’t really seem to possess ability to get after the passer. John Cominsky DE Charleston- nice size, looks the part, big arms, solid lower half. I was really excited to see what this small school kid could do. Not very fluid, stiff, lacks true athleticism. Just not fast or quick enough. Andy Isabella WR UMass- shorter kid, but thick legs/lower body. looks to be strong lower body. Fast and very quick. Great hands. Terry McLaurin OSU WR- Quick, fast, soft hands, in and out of cuts effortlessly. Decent size, looks smaller on TV but he’s actually pretty solid. Probably best WR North squad. Caleb Wilson UCLA TE- fights catching the ball, skinny lower body. Does not look like a TE. Listed at 235 lbs. seen his name thrown around here. This kid is going to have a hard time making it in the league. Keelan Doss WR UC Davis- decent size, skinny lower body, good hands, not very quick no twitch. Slow in and out of breaks. I had high hopes for this kid. I could be wrong but maybe he can make the special teams. Germaine Pratt ILB N.C. State- athletic LB. Darius Leonard build. Quick/fast. Hesitant on play action looked lost a couple times after realizing they didn’t run the ball. Playing ILB, too small. Looks to have potential, great covering RB out of backfield, sniff out swing passes. Slippery getting threw the line cause he’s quick. In zone coverage struggled in space some. Might be better WLB, Milano needs a better replacement. Charles Omenihu Texas DE- looks the part for sure. Not fast, not explosive. Doesn’t look to be an athletic freak compared to measurables. Greg Gaines UW DT- power house, short but gets off the ball well and can use leverage well. Multiple times got buried being over his feet too much. Will plug some holes and eat up space but needs to play under better controls. Dre Greenlaw Arkansas LB- shorter but solid build brick house. Gets around and is pretty quick. Makes quick reads and diagnoses plays well. Head on a swivel and doesn’t cover grass in zone. All around pretty solid, ILB, May be better WLB Milano type kid. I was impressed with this kid. Definitely high effort, super focused and very vocal talking in the field as far as alignment etc. Byron Cowart Maryland DT- quick, great hands that’s his strength. motor type guy, not powerful but strong enough. Good size. Pretty solid overall. A hustle guy. Dexter Williams RB Notre Damn- down hill runner. Big arms, solid lower body. Not a player who is gonna juke you. Not a lot of twitch, but hits the hole fast. A lot of his teams seemed to get fired up when he ran the ball. Ben Banogu TCU OLB/Edge- Not instinctual, hesitant. Good size, looks the part just nothing eye popping. Decent quickness. Definitely not a 3 down OLB. A Lorax type build. Kind of disappointed. South Squad- Montez Sweat DE Miss St- Lower body very skinny/thin. Don’t know how much power he can generate. Definitely has length. Decent upper body. Jumpy you can tell he anticipates the snap, Hughes style. Can get low on speed rush but lack of lower body strength get him out off line. Try’s to Bull rush but was unsuccessful twice. He’s not the top 10 or even top 15 guy folks talk about. Maybe last 10 picks of round 1. Remember he’ll be play NFL Tackles every Sunday. He got buried once today. Jonathan Ledbetter DE Georgia- big arms, thick lower body, solid build. Bull rush guy has some power. Not the quickest off the ball. Decent athlete, he’s a hold the edge run contain DE like Shaq. Ben Powers OG Oklahoma- Biggest belly of Oline. More jiggle in the mid section but nothing to worry about. Good feet, looks quick. Held his own against Buggs of Alabama. Has a great base, stays squared up. Rotated between LG and RG never came off the field and looked great on both sides. Dude is solid. One of the better G at the Senior Bowl. Lindstrom is a little more athletic but Powers isn’t far behind. Kingsley Keke DT Texas A&M- good size, solid build, great hands. Quick for how big he is. Looks athletic. Thick lower body big butt, strong kid. Pretty impressive DE/DT tweener Says Hes 305 lbs But plays like he’s 280. This seems like a McD Dline Guy. Strong against the run, quick enough to rush the passer. Andre Dillard LT WSU- nice build looks like a LT, beat by DE Ferguson maybe a hold on Dillard, just speed rush. Beat Ferguson next chance. Small feet for whatever it’s worth. I say that cause some of these dudes have like size 15 feet, he’s got the Burger King hands of feet. But has Quick feet. Arm length looks suspect but good enough shorter than Risners. Not the strongest and looks suspect to the inside move, Granderson got him on his heels once, And he feel on his butt during team. Hard to beat on speed rush though. Not seeing him as the best LT, if so it’s a super weak LT class. Late first round if you ask me. Maybe early second. Ross Pierschbacher C Alabama- looks bigger than expected, that was a knock on him. Got over powered by Buggs his Bama teammate but stood him up next rep. Pretty solid play, Bradbury definitely has the edge at Center. But Pierschbacher is solid. Stays over pads, doesn’t reach, strength is there can anchor decently. David Sills WR West Virginia- skinny has good length, great hands, smooth runner. Not the fastest. I was expecting more due to all hype. Round 3-4 kid, may slip lower. Deebo Samuels WR South Carolina- thick kid, soft hands, lower body legs look strong. Ran bye Rock Ya on a go route, had 2-3 steps on him. Faster than he looks. Quick. Other WRs gravitated towards him. Pretty it’s his personality. Always had a smile. Seemed very focused when called upon. Very solid looking for being shorter. Anthony Johnson WR Buffalo- Good size, not quick. Not as big as he plays on tape. Decent route runner nothing special. Seems heavy footed. Lacks concentration, dropped an easy pass ok 75% drill. Just don’t think he’s a high effort guy. For those that want him in the second he may slip to the late 3rd early 4th. This draft has some talented WRs. Tyre Brady WR Marshall- good height long arms, soft hands. Skinny lower body. Fast straight line speed. Didn’t see much. Dax Raymond TE Utah State- best TE south squad. Smooth runner, got some twitch for a TE. Decent speed route runner. Kid is actually pretty good. Greg Kittle type. Great hands, soft and made it look easy. 6’5” 250 lbs definitely helped his stock. Jaylon Ferguson DE La Tech- is quick off the ball. Good size, thick kid. High effort motor kid. Hands are good. Put up a ton of sacks but I don’t see it happening in the NFL, another Shaq type, but the kid has a solid frame. Granderson DE Wyoming- looks more of a 3-4 OLB. Not very strong or twitchy. Decent athlete but will definitely have to play in a 3-4. Oshane Ximines DE Old Dominion- is quick, fast. Looks thin. 3-4 OLB, but can come off the edge, faster than Sweat off the edge. Kid can speed rush. But he needs to add 10 lbs to his frame regardless of what style defense he goes to. So I sat behind McD, Daboll, Frazier and scouting crew. They left 1 hr early during the South practice and didn’t finish watch South Sq. Dabolls sweat pants and dress leather jacket were an awesome combo. Maybe meeting with North Sq players? Or maybe they watched enough over the last few days. My Day 3 MVP was Dalton Risner hands down. Dude plays with intensity. He’s vocal, gets excited, cheers on his teammates, he’s scrappy/nasty at times and doesn’t backdown. I’m telling you, he’s solid. Honestly I know he could play C or G as well. If he was Center he’d probably be the best center in the draft. Center is the spot you want a vocal leader, Captain type brawler. That’s Dalton. But he plays RT at a high level as well. Everyone afterwards wanted to talk to this kid. No way he makes it past 20. He’s got all the intangibles you look for that makes a winner

I’m here at the Senior Bowl practice and I’m telling you, Dalton was the best Oline out here all day. Bradbury is solid too. its the things you don’t see between snap to whistle that screams high character and leadership. He’s going too 20

I’m here at todays Practice and I’m telling you Dalton is the talk of day 3. All day long he dominated. tomorrow I’ll have a write up. But Dalton is going top 20 no doubt

Ben Powers, Brought his name up the other day when mentioning going to practice. i also want to see Risner at Center. I hope that happens

I like Josh as well. I don’t know if he’ll go top 10, but he won’t last past 20. Every team could use a Josh Jacobs for sure, but so teams may pass cause they technically fell good at RB and can fill a hole with equal talent on defense in the top 10. Plus knowing next year has like 4 legit round 1 RBs and probably 3 more in round 2 they can possibly wait. But Josh knowing our offense with a RB over 30 makes him more attractive. Bills could swap with Denver still get more picks and grab Jacobs at 10. there will be a run on QBs. I could even see Denver swapping picks with us cause the Denver, Bengals, Dolphins, Redskins and Minnesota all may looking to move up and grab Daniel Jones, Drew Lock, Will Grier.... they aren’t going to sit and see who falls to them knowing picks 10, 11, 13, 15, 18 may grab a QB.

I see the Bills filling the need for OL in FA. There’s a ton of solid talent in FA on the OL. I’m not saying don’t grab OL in the draft. But TJ Hockenson is a once decade type player. He’s Jason Witten the size of Gronk. I see the Bills grabbing 3x OL in FA and 1 in the draft. I’d focus on BPA in the draft. I’m not sold on any OT in the top 20. Jonah Williams is said to most likely be interior OG in the NFL, Dillard is a great pass blocker but is sub par run blocker out of the PAC12, Jawaan Taylor is a RT who looks solid at times back looks terrible at times and again a RT. Risner is intriguing to me. Almost 6’5 310 lbs, 34.5 inch arms and said to be able to play any position except LT. I see them plugging him in at C and excelling. They say he’s smart and processes defenses quickly. FA will tell the story. But I think going OL heavy in FA, knowing you’re investing in men who have played well in the league to protect your franchise QB is where you should spend your money. Grab Josh some weapons in the draft. Hockenson, Josh Jacobs, Hakeem Butler/Preston Williams/Riley Ridley etc gotta grab a couple DL DT/DE the draft as well as a OLB. A D’Andre Walker OLB Georgia/Ben Banogu TCU to be a Lorax replacement.

I like Ridley being I’m a Georgia Fan.... but Browns size is gonna turn teams away, DKs health and Neck is gonna turn some teams away. Ridley is not the next best WR. I might take him over JAWS Whiteside.

I think at 9. Realistically Rashan Gary Devin White Jeffrey Simmons Ed Oliver I honestly think after the senior bowl this week you may see Dalton Risner name a lot more. Let’s just say I curious to see what he does. I’m sure he’ll be plugged in a Guard and Center this week. Some reads say he’s super smart and processes everything quickly that he may be best a Center. But I want a trade down to 15 with Washington and grab TJ Hockenson.

I wouldn’t draft Marquise Brown. 0 Catches against Alabama. Guess what.... Every NFL team has a Alabama defense. 5’9” 160 will not cut it in the nfl. Sorry.

Well Daniel Jones and Drew Lock will be there. So I think if Grier can shine this week on the field and in the interview process he may be able to sneak up pretty high.

I bet he makes the team. Detroit has zero WRs.... people think our WR group needs help. Lions have Marvin Jones, who is decent. After that... nobody. If Reilly plays like he did here, he’ll get a spot.

Panama City Beach FL

Well my amateur butt will be in the seats at the senior bowl practice come Thursday. You best believe I’m gonna share my 2 cents on who impressed me. Ill be be sure to keep an eye on our coaches too. See where they’re focusing their attention. I want to look for other things as well. Such as, how these players interact off the field, to coaching, to other players etc. not just if he can run fast and catch. I got a list of guys I want to look at. Should be a great day.

I thought Ronald Curry as well. He’s learned under Sean Peyton for the last 2 years, plus been around Brees. He also had a year or two in San Fran. To give Hall the job means they really see something special with the limited amount of coaching he has. I also thought the may bring in the assistant QB coach from New England being he comes from the same style. Then moving Culley back to WR coach. We will see

Hall is from Youngstown OH. Like 2 hours away from Buffalo. 5’11 220lbs Im think 5th round grade. Pitt is Shadys alum so I think he’d be happy for the kid. Replaces Ivory.

Hill or Hall?

What I think happened on that call was yes it was inside 2 minutes. Refs tend to let both teams get more physical. Inside those refs mind they know the scenario before they do anything. That ref knew at that point of the game if he threw a flag for PI the game would be pretty much done and the game would end on his call. He probably thought it wasn’t as bad as it was (worst non call ever). And plain an simple he didn’t want the game to end and wanted it to be close down to the wire. Those refs know what they’re doing. He just wanted it to end differently other than on his PI call. Don’t know if he wanted a specific team to win.... but he thought he was saving the game and helping it come down to the wire. Well you screwed the Saints, the ref did play a huge part in that 100%.

I want to see guys like... Max Scharping OT Ben Powers OG Terrell Hanks OLB Ben Banogu OLB/Edge David Sills WR Gary Jennings WR Keelan Doss WR Jaylen Smith WR Dax Raymond TE

Dexter is nice. And I think with the Bills keeping Shady through his last year and building up the OL. I’m thinking our late 4th or a 5th pick on a RB. We do have Murphy and Ford too. Not to mention Ivory. Bills may choose all together to not draft a RB. 2020 draft has like 4 legit round 1 RBs with another 3 that could go round 2, 2020 is RB heavy! I like Darrin Hall RB Pitt this year. He’s playing in the East West game this weekend

I’ll be in Mobile on Wednesday to watch the first pads practice. Considering how many of our picks played in the Senior Bowl last year I’m excited to scope it out this year. Theres talks this could be the most talented Senior Bowl....
