It is more like going from 85% nickel to 67%.

Well there is no great white hype skill guy this year...it would have been Borghi. Wydermeyer has the best chance by far imo. Though Tanner Owen and Derek Kerstetter are interesting as OL depth.

Mason Rudolph 🤮🤮🤮

Never heard of this guy and trying to dig. So he goes to Mizzou and redshirts. Decides to transfer and starts 52 games at NW Missouri. So this isn’t your typical small school guy in that he was at an SEC school and projected to handle those guys. With his size I am guessing they see him at guard or center. Very similar measurables to Bates and Morse, both super athletic left tackles who kicked inside in the NFL. Dude is very interesting at least on paper.

I’m guessing the need one for rookie minicamp, but its usually some tryout guy.

Can we sticky this to become the second wave free agency thread? or make one as a palace for rumors and reports of who is getting released?

I don't think he is a scheme fit, but may work on a gap team. He seems like a good dude and still young, but the Bills seem to be moving way from this type of player. As a cheap backup to compete at center and guard? Maybe.

Not their type:

Yeah Levi is one of the slowest corners in the NFL. He gets every ounce out of his ability and I appreciate his efforts as an UDFA, but at the end of the day he was a huge liability. But this is liking going from a Yugo to a Lamborghini.

He reminds me of AJ Klein honestly. Spector is a bit smaller and more athletic and explosive. Spector should be able to gain 10 lbs in an NFL strength program and his instincts will play. I really like him.

I feel like part of that is the drafting BPA for need strategy as they shore up the defense. I think the other part about that is when their time has come on the clock, a lot of the defensive players on the board were just better than the offense imo. 2022 - Elam was the right pick over guys like Hall and Watson. 2nd round Cook works. 2021 - The argument can be made that they should have taken Elijah Moore or Javonte Williams. I think they made the right choice in Rousseau. Rd 2, I like Basham more than most, but they should have taken Creed Humphrey. 2020 - Diggs trade rd 1 (If they didn't make that trade I assume they draft Jefferson), Rd 2 in a redraft I am taking Antonio Gibson there. I also really like Jeremy Chinn. Obviously AJ was the wrong pick, but the offensive players around there were very meh aside from a few. Ezra Cleveland is pretty good as well and fits the profile of linemen they are now looking for. To me JK Dobbins is meh. 2019 - Ed Oliver was the right choice. And if we did a re-draft I would consider Brian Burns. The best offensive player selected after our pick was Chris Lindstrom and then a bunch of linemen who had their 5th year option rejected. Obviously the Cody Ford debacle in the 2nd is a problem and that is probably their biggest mistake. However, they were trying to shore up gaping hole at RT. 2018 - Josh Draft, an argument can be made for DJ Moore over Tremaine.

I have to say that this pick is really growing on me. I really didn't know much about the guy, but he has some very cool traits. This may be our next safety honestly.

Giants fans are foolish. They think Feliciano is the second coming for some reason. A lot of fans have pencilled him in as their starting center.

I think they really like Jones. He is a “Matthew Slater” level special teamer, except his dad wasn’t a famous NFL Hall of Famer so no one cares. Having guys like Jones around is pretty valuable. Something has to give in the running back room, but I am not sure Jones is the one who is a goner.

From a wheel chair? Nah

Probably a culture guy for Lovie. Smith and Frazier are very close so Leslie probably gave him a great review.

It happened with the Chargers Drew Kaser. He averaged like 48 on punts and got cut because he could not hold. He is out of the league. But generally it is never an issue.

This article is really amazing. I love the bit about Schoen being all gross and sweaty, literally sweating it out in 2018.

Ok so with the Breece Hall tidbit, if Elam was gone and we took Breece, in the second the corners available when we picked were Cam Taylor-Britt and Martin Emerson. So would you rather have: Elam and Cook or Hall and Taylor-Britt/Emerson I would take Elam and Cook all day every day. JMO.

100% it is Elam. No doubt. We have been getting by with scrubs across from Tre. Having a truly talented corner with that speed and size is awesome.

Maybe more subtle like Matt “the messiah” Araiza? We used to have a guy named legatron who sucked. Schmidt maybe? Maybe legatron fits better here? Or like Araiza 1:19 says I just pinned ur ass

Yeah I agree. I think a young developing guy is way better just kind of staying on one side, at least as a tackle. For me a guard doesn't matter as much.

Looking at mocks like this, I am just so happy and relieved that we have Josh.

I think he meant that if Dion goes down they would flip Brown to the other side and bring in a RT, which is something they did last year when Dion was out.

I agree. I was responding to people who are saying "why didn't they take so and so." The simple answer is that they liked Bernard better and passed on those other guys.
