CEN-CAL17

I sat right between the Dallas Scouts and the Falcons Scouts and they were both talking him up...

Senior Bowl 2020 Senior Bowl notes... mostly based on players that have been brought up here on the board, positions highly talked about and players that just look the part or made plays. NORTH DEFENSE Jason Strowbridge-Edge UNC- Physical Specimen. Looks like an NFL player. Strong kid, quick off the line, fought through a few double teams. Good hands, grabs and pulls to get through. Doesn’t get pushed around and can anchor down to hold the edge. Got his hands up and batted a pass, showed some fire! Alton Robinson- DE Syracuse- played a lot of stand up End. Not the fastest or strongest. Shows decent ability overall not too impressed. Has good size. Bradley Anea-Edge Utah- Great size, quick off the edge. Edge rush is all he has. Plays the edge well. Vocal kid, shows intensity at times. Solid build, strong lower body. Lamar Jackson- CB Nebraska- big CB, physical kid, loves to press and use his size, popped Claypool off the line with no problem. Jalen Elliot- S Notre Dame- Thick build, not the tallest, maybe 5’11”. led all drills. Enthusiastic. Confident kid. Vocal. Pretty good range playing centerfield getting to the ball. Evan Weaver LB Cal- Skinny lower body, but the kid is a baller, intense. Flys around, made a few plays. Effort kid. I guess this kid was a tackling machine this year. JOSHUA Uche- OLB Michigan- Quick, too small to play DE. May be a 3-4 OLB. Very solid build, not to tall. Fast around the edge, another guy that’s just a speed rush off the edge. OFFENSE- Adam Troutman- TE Dayton- Solid looking TE, physically looks the most solid of all TEs on the North Squad. Good route runner, deceptively quick. Soft hands. James Proche- WR SMU- Quick, led all drills, smallest WR on North Squad, accelerates full speed quickly after catch. Good hands fighting off defenders, at times defenders get the best of him due to strength. #1 punt returner, catches the ball with ease. Went up and caught a ball in triple coverage. Denzel Mims- WR Baylor- Tall Lean kid, decent speed, stacks the DB well. Excels on the 9 route. Not very physical. Great at the 50/50 ball, went up over CB on an under thrown ball. Chase Claypool- WR Notre Dame- Biggest WR on North Squad, looks the part. Good size upper body. Good hands battling defenders. Not fast off the line, builds up speed gradually. Slow out of breaks, at times drags his toes. Michael Pittman JR- WR USC- Decent size, shorter legs compared to Claypool and Mims. Small lower torso. Seems to have a lot of wasted movement in and out of breaks. Quartney Davis WR Texas A&M- solid size, thick lower body, legs look strong. Great hands, watches the ball in. Good speed. Quick off the ball. Catches the ball even in draped coverage. Fights for the ball. KJ Hill - WR OSU- slightly bigger than Proche. Not as quick and polished. At times gets lazy with his route running. Looks as if Proche May be faster as well. Gandy- Golden- WR Liberty- Not the biggest, not the smallest. Not physical. Decent hands, double caught a few. Not super fast, route running is nothing special but not bad. Dropped a deep ball, beat his guy by 3 steps. Whole crowd felt let down on a perfect pass! JOSHUA Kelly -RB UCLA- Impressive, compact running back, looks a lot like Singletary. Hits the hole hard, runs hard, great vision and ran between the tackles untouched 2-3 times for big gains. Solid build, looks to have a strong lower body, quick too. Dude is good! Tyler Bass- K Georgia Southern- Huge leg!!! Made 6 straight FGs. Made a 54 yard FG that would have been good from maybe 65 yards. MVPs- North Squad Jason Strowbridge James Proche/Quartney Davis Joshua Kelly Intriguing Player- Khaleke Hudson S Michigan SOUTH SQUAD Offense Kalija Lipscomb- WR Vandy- Shifty kid, in the same mold as James Proche. Almost identical in size. No where as good as Proche. Routes are not as crisp, Proche seemed better at press coverage. Van Jefferson-WR Florida-Decent size, fluid runner, smooth. Soft hands. Looks like Robert Foster as far as build. Probably best WR at the senior bowl. Route running is great, no wasted effort and speed through his cuts. Calvin Throckmorton- OL Oregon- Good size, quick feet. Moves smoothly and looks athletic but big. Dominated Zuniga on first rep. Playing LT. Dominated Lewis from Alabama. Throckmorton is this years Risner but more athletic. John Simpson- OG Clemson- Big kid. Anchors like nobody’s business. Won’t budge. Dude is powerful and he’s making the most of this Bowl practice. Collin Johnson-WR Texas- tall, but skinny. Nowhere near the build of Claypool. Did not look good against press coverage. I was not really impressed. DEFENSE Javon Kinlaw- DT South Carolina - Beast. Terrell Lewis-Edge/OLB Alabama- Lower body is skinny but he’s long. Lewis runs stiff, can NOT cover. Kyle Dugger- S Lenior Rhyne- Looks solid, fast kid, back pedal and turns with fluidity in drills. Under control. I need to find more on him. Azur Kamara- OLB Kansas- looks like a big FS. But he’s got good size. Think he was a late addition. Not very powerful. Once OL locks on he’s done. Not very instinctive. Jonathan Greenard- Edge/OLB Florida. This kid is athletic, can get low and bend around the edge. More quick than strong. Got pancakes by a running back on blocking drills. Beat Throckmorton on an inside move 1 on 1. Trevis Gipson- Edge Tulsa- strong, good size. Probably the thickest out of the group. Not super athletic or fast but looks better at the run game. DJ Wonnum- Edge South Carolina- Strong lower body. Was driving the LT 4-5 yards back. Solid looking kid, built just like Gipson. Gets over his toes at times and shoved in the ground. Anfernee Jennings- LB Alabama- Shorter kid. But quick, thick and diagnoses plays quickly. Reminds me of Dre Greenlaw from last year. Let me say.... McD and the entire Buffalo staff were locked on the WR drills. Last year Bobby Johnson was here, not this year. No Daboll this year either.

Throw in possibly Michael Pittman or whoever the draft pick may be... Brown, Beasley, Pittman, Duke, Allison, McKenzie Hows that look? If you think this FO is going to go spend $8-10M per or draft a WR round 1, it ain’t gonna happen.

I don’t see the FO drafting 2 WRs.... Brown, Beasley, Duke, Foster, McKenzie (rookie could replace him), Roberts (don’t see him back) Im thinking add Geronimo Allison in FA, and draft a day 2 WR....

Yes... Uche from Michigan, Jason Strowbridge of UNC, bigger kid. Alton Robinson from Syracuse has potential. The players I want to see is Darrell Taylor Jr from Tennessee and Jonathan Greenard out of Florida....

I’ll be there for Wednesday’s practice. I’ll have a big write up on standouts and Pros and Cons on attendees. Im excited to see the WRs. Last year I went it was obvious Deebo Samuel and Terry McClaurin were studs. WRs there this year are Bryan Edwards, Michael Pittman, Denzel Mims, Brandon Aiyuk, Van Jefferson, James Proche and more....

I’m expecting closer to 65% next year.... Gotta strengthen the OL, get another solid RB2 (Jordan Howard FA). Establish our identity as a running team. Sets up PA for Josh and keeps teams from blitzing as much. Brown, Beasley, Knox, Kroft all in their 2nd year in the system. Hopefully draft a WR that can produce in rounds 2 & 3 like Deebo Samuel, Terry McClaurin, AJ Brown, Metcalf etc.... WR class is deep this year. But the identity should be run the ball!!!

Jordan Phillips has had 1 solid year, plus last year which was good.... more of a role guy, this year he proved himself more so. That being said I think his value is around $7-8M per.... he’s been healthy. With Stars And his large contract being gone after next season I see the Bills offering a 4 year $30-32M, that’s roughly 8 per, which I think is at the top of his market, don’t think he’ll get a better offer.

Yeah against New England... got chopped down low by the RB flipped upside down and landed at Brady’s feet... personal foul, F that!!!

Been saying Kyler Fackrell would be a great get here in FA.... an affordable vet. Edge OLB type.

This league doesn’t wanna see Bills Mafia if the Bills win a home divisional championship game!!! Chiefs have some good fans... Chief Kingdom (boring, never heard that) is not Bills Mafia...

A 2 year extension should be good, bring in a high draft pick next year or the year after for mentoring

Realistically.... Offense- RB Jordan Howard Defense- Edge Kyler Fackrell

That’s a good point.... it is deep. Teams may sit on players to overdraft others cause WRs will be there. Im definitely looking at WR in 2nd or 3rd....

Im starting to get intrigued by this kid... fits in the role of Lorax. I’ll be watching him in the coming months with bouncing back from injury. This is definitely a process McD kids, strong family values and smart... obviously can make plays.

Dude is a stud.... him and Pittman should be targets pick 50-75 range. These dudes ain’t lasting til round 4. These are your big, strong, possession type guys the can run after catch. Great hands and are proven over 4 years. They are seniors. Theyll be at the Senior Bowl. I’m looking forward to seeing Aiyuk, Pittman, Edwards, Van Jefferson, and Mims.... Last year I was at the Senior practices and it was obvious Deebo Samuels and Terry McClaurin were legit! Went rounds 2 & 3, you may see 3-4 of those mentioned above gone before round 4.

If you’re considering Tier 2, rounds 3-5.... Move up Proche, Mims and Bryan Edwards!!! Also add to the Tier 2 list, Omar Bayless WR Arkansas St.... how that dude is not on your post is beyond me. YouTube his documentary, total McD guy, mature and beat all odds! Also, move Aiyuk up to Tier 1.... he’s gonna be a top 60 pick.... some would argue top 5 WRs in this years Draft. I think he goes between Pick 40-50.

Good thing next week , Bryan Edwards, Denzel Mims are at the Senior Bowl... 2 guys not on that list. I like Scotty Washington WR Wake Forest as well later in the draft, rounds 5-7. 6’5” 220 lbs.

I’ll go with.... Jerry Jeudy. If I was gonna make a crazy prediction I may even bet hes not one of the top 3 WRs drafted.

Options in house will be like 5x the cap space when you can basically improve the OL next year with 3 on their rookie contracts. OL improves with less Cap hit, Extend Dawkins and Feliciano. Vs Giving Conklin $10M per, Spain $6-7M per. Thing is nobody knows what the FO wants in Ford.

I like Kyler Fackrell in FA and OLB Kamal Martin Minnesota in draft Mid/Late round 2 prospect.

I am all on board with beefing up the OL.... When it comes to resigning Spain, but putting Ford on the bench for depth I disagree.... My player to watch is C/OG Creed Humphrey. Best C in college football, if he declares hes a round 1 lock. Big time Wrestler as well, Smart and Tough! With Morse having health concerns, missing time here and there, Creed could be the future anchor in the next couple years. If you ask me he is better than Spain. LT- Dawkins LG- Creed C- Morse RG- Feliciano RT- Ford (Nsekhe Depth next year) As far as OTs in the draft.... Wirf, Wills and Adams (potential trade down to late round 1 for Adams RT), Ford goes to RG, Feliciano to LG.

I don't think he means player wise vs amount wise..... I think he means they will control the cap through FA, they are not going to go spend $70M in cap space in FA...... But maybe $40-50 no doubt, that being said we don't need to fill a lot of high end positions. Bills can go after a splash guy, and DE may be that position. Cause even after Yannick they may still spend $20-30M..... still having $40-50M in space left...

You Cut Murphy, Kroft, Nsekhe and Yeldon..... that's $17M saved right there. Tons of Fans will argue some of those guys above, but lets be honest, those dude are easy to replace. Still have $90M in cap!!!

Here’s one for you!!! CREED HUMPHREY If this kid declares he’s a first round lock. Big, strong, powerful blocker. Big time wrestling background. Smart and Tough!!! Everything this staff wants.... If the FO feels Ford is our guy at RT, Spain is not resigned.... this kid steps right in and is an improvement! Morse has had some slight health concerns, Creed may be the future anchor. If Creed stay at OU, he may be a top 15 if not top 10 pick in the 2021 draft... but he’s already a round 1 lock and OU is gonna be young and drop off cause they’re losing talent this year.... he may decide to declare. Could be the best interior OL in sometime...
