80% of CEH runs went up the middle at LSU, he can bang between the tackles. Hes also an adept receiver out of the backfield. To be honest, he would sit atop the depth chart in Buffalo and make Singletary the backup. Hes that good of an RB. Think Maurice Jones Drew.

Hes probably going 2nd or 3rd round. Daniel Jeremiah and Brooks have him as their 3rd overall RB I have him ranked 4th after Taylor

Another informative interview done at Senior Bowl with Beane https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bills-gm-brandon-beane-falcons-gm-thomas-dimitroff-join-stf/id1227006689?i=1000463331888 Some great stuff in there on the draft by Beane Starts just after 37:00 minutes. Will update with quotes Was asked about Mahomes where the had him ranked - Laughed and jokingly said "QB 1 , but says they had Newton so didn't dig deep on QB. When he left they drafted C McCaffrey and wishes he had him in Buffalo" Similarities of J Allen and Cam - "Both big, athletic, leaders. Physical skills sets similar. But they are different. Josh can take physical hits like Cam". Spent money on oline and drafted Ford, brought in some WR and TE to help Josh, what else is next to help him? - "Josh needed protection, running the ball is a QB best friend , if you aren't good up front it's hard to execute . We want to continue to help up front. Not saying we've arrived there, we need to continue to add weapons. Singletary came on this year but you always need multiple running backs. Receivers, tight ends, I like to call them touchdown makers, guys that can get the ball in their hands, to take the pressure off Josh, so he doesn't feel like he has to make every play himself, let me dump this little 6 yard hitch route, have the WR make the guy miss and take it 50" Some people say potential historical WR class, your thoughts on depth? - " You can tell already now that everyone has declared , this class coming into the Senior Bowl is pretty talented. Senior bowl is great so you can focus on them, then at combine undeclassmen show up . WR is a fun position to go through this spring. " You've been aggressive to move up for guys, is that your MO as a GM? - " Definitely , I let the board tell me what decisions we need to make and if a guy is sticking out above everybody else on the board and continues to fall, with Edwards , if we had not got josh, Edwards would have been the guy we took at 12. When he got to 14 Packers were on the clock, man we got to start calling , Oakland wouldn't do it they had already traded down and wanted to pick at 15 , then we found Baltimore who was willing to do it. We felt the value was there. So when the value meets a big hole that you got, why not be aggressive ".

Agreed. I've been saying it for months, I dont think we go WR round 1 (unless a top guy falls) and we go WR in round 2 and look to add a DE or oline round 1. It makes too much sense.

Nobody has yet to answer this in multiple Norman threads. He excelled in zone in Carolina. Did he play zone or man in Washington? Because some guys excel at one and struggle with the other

Rosters will be expanded to 55 players

Cant quantify that . We dont know who the Falcons would have drafted with all the extra picks they would have had instead of taking Julio and how that would have changed the team

Dont you know wearing black is thinning?

How many Super bowls have they won with Julio?

Jerry is tough as nails! Love the guy!

Bradley Annei? Spelling possibly there, is a guy who's caught my eye. But at this point I haven't studied edge rushers or anyone on defense that much to give you a firm answer I know every skill position player on offence really well though lol

We most certainly need to inject some youth in that room. We can have both Yeah draft one.

Age is a factor for me here. Yes hes been productive but we need an elite young DE to grow with the team.

Shenault, has the lowest YPC vs AP-ranked teams of the top 38 draft eligible WRs at 8.7 ypc.

Live web cam of Bell right now! https://images.app.goo.gl/RsNZCF1Af1P6fvWG7

So did he make the announcement on an XFL game?

Harris is very athletic but makes a lot of drops. We already have Knox doing that.

You make many valid arguments that I agree with. That being said there are a number of reasons maybe why a player won't come here. A) Maybe hes offered more $$$$ to go elsewhere B) Maybe his role is better suited elsewhere C) Maybe he prefers a warmer climate ot being closer to "home" Unfortunately we cannot get into the minds of the players to find out the "why". Cheers

True. But the player has to want to come to Buffalo.

Its interesting because not often I have I heard about executives talking that WR is a premium position. I usually hear QB, tackle, DE and corner are premium positions. Usually dont have WR in that group. I mean I'm fine with it, I want Beane to take a swing at a WR early

I find that interesting for sure. Thanks good to know

@Reed83HOF Do you have any quotes where Beane rhymes off the premium positions? I recall him saying it at one point. I know it included pass rusher, QB and tackle. (I still think we go pass rusher round 1 and move up in round 2 for a WR)

It's a copy cat league. I could see him going late 3rd early 4th.
