I agree. I do think that playing both sides is not a huge deal but in this case having a guy who just started his last 34 college games at RG moving to another spot makes no sense. He did play a bunch of left guard his freshmen year, but imo just plug him in at RG after he earns it.

Meaning like why wasn’t he picked earlier? It happens all the time but different teams have different flavors of corner they like. 4.56 forty and he is a zone only corner takes about half the league out of it, so it just happens. But I like his game. I think he pushes for the back end of the roster. To me White, Elam, Benford, Johnson are locks. Outside of that it’s competition between Neal, Jackson, Austin, Cam Lewis.

Well I disagree. He is a guy who does not need a lot of playing time to make an impact. Sure he is a one trick pony, but it fits here where we need to get more sacks. He’s still young and where else do they find sacks at this point?

Rapp played a lot of stack nickel backer in LA. That’s our base defense. So he has done it before. I think maybe he becomes that guy in super obvious pass situations, but not in base.

I mean he had 9.5 last year and ten the year before. 9.5 sacks in like 60% of the snaps is pretty darn good.

Former Panther too

Yeah I was wholeheartedly against picking him the first round or even in a modest trade back. It’s more about positional value than anything, but late 2nd its a no brainer and a really interesting pick.

Anyone know what happened to Brenton Cox? He’r fit in with the other Gators. I know he is off the field red flag guy, but worth a shot as a rookie camp invite

I found this: https://sportsnaut.com/2023-undrafted-nfl-free-agent-tracker/amp/ Looks pretty good

She’s on the short side, but has a strong lower half. Instincts are so so but she knows how to get downhill.

Yeah its a calculated risk they are taking because they did not want to spend money on the position. There most certainly will be a step back at the position. How much that affects wins and loses remains to be seen. I suppose the are banking on everyone around the positions improving. The story was always that Tremaine affected the game in ways we couldn’t see. We will find out if that is true or not pretty quickly. If I’m the Bills, I am calling the Chargers to see what it would take to get Kenneth Murray. They just rejected his 5th year option and took his replacement in Daiyan Henley. I think Murray would excel in this system. Maybe it costs a 5th? Maybe a guy like Boogie or AJ fit better as 5 techs in their D? Free agency is pretty dry there, so maybe a trade like this could be had.

After watching that I feel like Sherlock must feel watching Cooper Kupp 😘

Haselwood is pretty interesting. Ricks too.

Gracias! I’ve been spamming Broecker all over the board trying to speak it into existence. Now on to my next project, Scarlet Johansen.

Yeah interesting guy but his workout numbers were horrible. I wouldn’t bet against him making his way in the league though.

100% he is going to start day 1.

@HOUSE Do I a get a cookie?

Apparently played baseball there too or D’arick?

Gotcha! I didn’t want to offend anyone

It’s a joke. Happens all the time here. Remember all the drama over Ed Egan who snubbed us for the Cowboys last minute? Brandon Reilly? David Sills? Message board legends.

Well I didn’t buy the whole Dodson has a chance to start deal. Now I kind of have to. He’s only 24 years old about to turn 25, been in the system 4 years now. He has good size and athleticism. He has hung around this long because McDermott loves him. Remember that he served a suspension coming into the league. There were red flags…yet the Bills held on to him, stood by him, and he worked to stay. If I am a betting type man, I would say it’s his job to lose. I feel like McDermott maybe wants to give Dodson a real shot at this. However, I do think Baylon Spector is going to give him a run for his money. He has instincts and athleticism. He is a few pounds lighter but more athletic. Spector is also 24 going on 25. So there isn’t any advantage there. Dodson has all that experience over Spector. What Spector was lacking in was functional strength and if he got after it this offseason, he truly has a shot. I just keep going back to how good he looked in preseason and he was a difference maker playing at a high level at Clemson. One other thing is that he played in the 4-2-5 as a stacked backer at Clemson, which essentially what the mike is asked to do here…though he spent most of his time as a will, I think he can play the mike. To me Bernard isn’t in this thing. He’s smaller than these guys, and I just didn’t see anything last year that told me he could step in and be a starter this year at mike. He also played in that 3-4 type front at Baylor so the job and run fits are quite different. I think he is still two years away and in my mind, Dorian Williams is already better. I dunno. To me Klein is the vet you have around as insurance if this all goes FUBAR, but I am not sure he is a truly a starter anymore. I like Dorian Williams and I think he can play mike. He played it for 3 years at Tulane. I think Beane’s apprehension about playing him inside is that he likely feels Williams will not be able to step in and be the green dot guy right away. IMO the only guy in this draft who could have done that was Campbell. Williams is only 21 goin on 22 and started at Tulane for 3 years. He is likely not ready but the upside is there. If I recall, McBean were super apprehensive about Tremaine being the guy calling the defense as a rookie. They had their doubts and said some of the same things they are saying about Williams now, but Tremaine picked it up quick. I could see the same thing happening here. So to me it is Dodson vs Spector (if he got stronger) with an outside chance Williams blows them both out of the water.

Any undersized white wide receivers guys can obsess over for a couple of weeks?

I believe that Ngakoue rumor someone posted a while back. He makes sense as a hired gun who can get you 10-12 sacks in a part time role.

This dude can ball. Really good feet. Quiet pass set. He’s a technician, but nasty and like Torrence trying to drive guys into the ground. He ran a really slow 40. Other than that his athletic testing is very good. You guys are going to love him, you can’t just look at fancy highlighted scores on websites when analyzing OL.

He worked out with Adam Henry. He must have liked what he saw. He knows more than me.
