I personally believe Devonshire has been earmarked to be a Bill for a while. A day 3 Pitt DB? No brainier there IMO. I expect a RB early on today as well. Estime was in on a visit I believe.

Here's something else to remember. As we start round 4, Franklin is still on the board. We have a ton of 5th round picks. If Beane values Franklin as much as people here feel he should he has the picks to trade to go and get him. If he doesn't, it really says everything I need to know about their interest in Franklin. Oh, and there are other WRs left on the board as well. Let's see how today plays out, who we end up with and what we end up with. Heck Shakir was a 5th rounder in a WR class that was much less thought of.

Rd 2, Pick 33: WR Keon Coleman, Florida State
BuffaloBillyG replied to SDS's topic in The Stadium Wall
Concerns, sure. Coleman isn't really going to be asked to run in a straight line on a track either. Guys often have a different play speed. But if we want to talk Combine numbers, during the cone drill he was listed at hitting 20.36mph...which was the fastest by any WR in 2 years at the Combine. I'd say that shows he's not exactly Jabba the Hutt running routes. -
Rd 2, Pick 33: WR Keon Coleman, Florida State
BuffaloBillyG replied to SDS's topic in The Stadium Wall
Weird. Because I could swear for literally years I've seen posts right here on this forum with people wanting to trade for Mike Williams. Big strong WR. He ran a 4.53, BTW. Not blazing, either. Now, I'm a person that has screamed for speed myself for years. Get me someone even Allen would have an issue over throwing. So I get it. But I'm willing to, I don't know, let the kid see the practice field and maybe a game or two before I condemn the choice because he doesn't have the skillset I wanted...which is what I see a lot of people doing here. -

Gabe Davis also didn't fight for contested catches. He didn't fight for the football. That's part of the reason Allen's INT rate when targeting Davis was so much higher than everyone else on the team. It's almost like there's more to the WR position than "run fast". -
Yeah. I'm quite comfortable with the idea that he wouldn't have been there at 71 most likely. Certain? No, I don't have access to all the draft boards. But pretty comfortable with the thought

BuffaloBillyG replied to SDS's topic in The Stadium Wall
Watching this it occurred to me what it is that he can do that we don't see from our guys now. He fights back for underthrown balls. Not only does he seem to be good at getting his hands on the ball (I realize these are just highlights) but this style of play tends to lead to getting those DPI calls when he can't come up with it too. -
Wondering if there will be times we see a three safety look as well. He can play that same kind of role Poyer did when they would drop him down and brought Rapp in deep with Hyde. Very versatile like that.

Pretty surprised he's still on the board. Though it makes me a bit happy we didn't burn pick 33 on a guy that's still there at 71 like so many wanted to.

BuffaloBillyG replied to SDS's topic in The Stadium Wall
Not the guy I wanted. Was hoping for some real speed. Ah well, let's see how the rest of the night plays out. Roman Wilson to match up with him, perhaps? Polk? I'll wait to see how tonight plays out. -
Who do you want with our first pick in 2nd?
BuffaloBillyG replied to Back2Buff's topic in The Stadium Wall
By the end of the night I think we come away with 2 of: Franklin, Wilson and Polk. And for the 3rd pick tonight I think we get a safety. What order we get them in and where is the question for me. -

BuffaloBillyG replied to Back2Buff's topic in The Stadium Wall
Honestly, I'm kind of of the thought that I'm ok with Beane even taking 2025 picks then later round 2024 picks if he trades again. We have a ton of ammo now to move around. Let's set the table for next year, too. -
Bills interested in Deebo Samuel per Mike Giardi
BuffaloBillyG replied to Roundybout's topic in The Stadium Wall
It's a benefit/perk to being a good team. Agents use your team as someone interested hoping other GMs say "Wait if Buffalo is in, should we be as well?". We do the exact same thing whenever we hear the Chiefs name in on someone. "Well, if Andy thinks that LG is good then that's good enough for me." -
NFL gives players the option to wear guardian shells during games.
BuffaloBillyG replied to Beast's topic in The Stadium Wall
Welp, you would just have become the first to bring up all those topics for people to piggy back off of. Way to set the table😂 Seriously, I get it and it's really good for the players and safety. Could help some guys have longer careers, earn more money and walk away a bit healthier. But egads are those things fugly. -
I agree with a lot of what you say here. However, about the bolded. If they have a guy that stands out and is "their guy" then yes, agree, don't get cute and pick your player However do they have a group of guys lumped together? Are they looking at it as "Well, we can Grab DeJean, Newton, Franklin, Roman Wilson, Ladd, or a few others that are all about the same grade and be happy"? If so, another small trade back makes the world of sense. We'll know which they have in a few hours.

Bills interested in Deebo Samuel per Mike Giardi
BuffaloBillyG replied to Roundybout's topic in The Stadium Wall
This is true. However if the Bills have had contact with the 49ers either they or Deebo's reps may put it out there to stir interest. And being it mentions 2 teams it's likely agent or the 49ers. That said, even in cases like this, the "interest" could be something as simple as the Bills having a casual call with someone on the 49ers staff and asking what they are looking for....which is very common.
