Hockenson or Sternberger are my two favorites but don't see OBD using a #1 on TE unless it is a trade into back of Rd 1 to grab their targeted guy.,

Oliver Luck or Gary Marangi ? ?

Our asst gm Joe Schoen and Dan hickey were with Miami and had good Intel here too

Any player picked at 40 would have greater value to the Bills than the Chosen One standing holding a clipboard imho.

Agreed. They can develop a guy knowing that next year they will need a new Thunder/Lightning duo. Will grab the missing one higher next year my guess

https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/S/StafMa00/gamelog/2009/ Matthew Stafford https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/R/RyanMa00/gamelog/2008/ Matt Ryan While Ryan started out hotter, both these players were collegiate players with sub 60% accuracy who improved as pros. Ryan had a better rookie year but hovered around 60% and was 58% in year 3. Stafford took 5-6 years to get to mid 60%. Not sure these are franchise QBs but they are very close to Allen in college performance and as an early pro - without the mobility upside. Want the Mobility factor added, there's always this guy - Cam Newton - and he was a 67% completion rate QB with a 94 QB rating last year. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/N/NewtCa00.htm Might be why Dorsey was brought in.

When he returned from injury, Josh had 4 games over 70 in passer rating with 2 duds (Jets and NE). His passer rating in last 6 games averaged 76. Selective yes, but the Bills offense was different then too with Foster etc.

Man I like Snell too. He had a huge amount of carries at KY. Used in and is great at pass protection. Really not used in KY passing game as only 29 receptions in 3 years. Per scouting reports real questions if he can separate in passing game in pros and beat second level in running game given limited physical skills (bad 40 time, vertical at combine). Not an overly explosive player. See him being a late round (6 or 7) pickup at this point with bad combine and receiving skills being questioned. https://thedraftnetwork.com/player/benny-snell

The Judge was relieved to hear that 1919 season was 1 year before Prohibition. And then she ruled to reinstate beer sales after half time!

Liked Ivory when with Jets. Will remember his 2 long catch and runs as a Bill vs Vikes and Fins. Wish him luck. Gore is a very effective short yardage and goal line back. And Shady should be more effective with a new OLine and Oline coach. Both these guys can play all 3 downs too as they are good receivers and pass blockers. Some young RB is going to be blessed to have a year to learn from Frank Gore and Shady how to study, practice and play like a pro. That 3rd RB will get on the field aplenty in Daboll's offense - especially if that RB is from 'Bama! Picking up pass pro and releases in the passing game will be where the old men can help teach them the most.

Yes Tre beat 2x for 70 yds by him that day. I stand corrected. Wallace was beat 4x by Galloday that day

beat them this year and we will feel better

Wallace only faced one big WR in those last 7 games - Kenny Galloday from Lions who caught 7/8 passes thrown his way for 146 yds. With us playing CLE, PIT, CIN, PHL the level of WRs will be much better than last end of last season NYJ, MIA, NE) . Wallace also gave up the play to Moncrief at goal line vs JAGS that preceded the Fournette / Lawson throwdown. OBD may be worried about him vs big-time talent WRs.

He started and played one complete game vs Miami. Most of other plays were as extra blocker. Only played over 15 plays in 2 other games. His signing a one year vet minimum deal points to his possibly being released with little repercussion. Waddle signing not a good sign for him.

Glad he is getting out with full use of his faculties, as limited as they were to begin with. ?

Have to believe Beane adds at least 2 more players to mix in FA/Draft. I see another guard coming and an OT. Long and Feliciano can back up Morse. 9 on active roster then. I will guess at those players currently under contract that will be let go - bolded below Dawkins Nsekhe Waddle Morse Long Feliciano Teller Boettger - PS target Ducasse Sirles Bodine McDermott

This should fit him, and like his UH one, slightly used?

Agreed - Oliver played 0T or NT for Houston and was the only difference maker on that D Line - and had strong numbers. Playing out of position and eating double and triple teams was his job - he did it and never complained. At the point of the coat incident, his coach Major Applewhite was hanging by a thread and over-reacted IMHO. Subsequently fired.

Dinner restaurant suggestion for OBD :

At 9 by Bills. And we would have saved some draft capital versus last year

Here is some more food for thought from 2017 draft scouting reports https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/draft-pff-scouting-report-dion-dawkins-g-temple

Biggest audition of his life and he showed up out of shape, overweight and surly. Several clubs said worst interview ever at Combine. Not a prayer he becomes a Bill.

Good question. McLaurin has very good receiving skills and is an ST demon. Good gunner https://thedraftnetwork.com/player/terry-mclaurin

Slow and then got hurt. Horrible work ethic. Can't run full route tree after 10 years. Oh yeah. Gimme some of that. Gotta have it.

voted yes as can revoke before next year per below: For first-rounders picked outside the top 10, the calculation is a little more complicated. These players’ fifth-year option also relies on the previous year’s salaries at the player’s position, but it’s determined by the average of the third through 25th top salaries at that position. So we could come up with estimates for the 2019 option salary for players like Melvin Gordon, Byron Jones, and Trae Waynes, but they’re not set in stone quite yet. Fifth-year options are guaranteed for injury only between May 3 and the start of the following league year. As such, they’re not entirely risk-free, but as long as the player remains healthy, a team could exercise his fifth-year option, then cut him before his option year gets underway without being on the hook for his salary. When the league year begins, the player’s fifth-year salary becomes guaranteed for skill and cap purposes, as well as injury
