    Our FO couldn’t do simple Twitter research. 

     

    Those tweets were erased in January. Someone saved them, and then posted them the night before the draft.

     

    By the way one is a 'Modern Family' quote, and the other is a Rick Ross quote. Was Rick Ross a racist when he wrote it down, recorded it, set it to music, packaged it and sold it?

    Do tell.

    Ok, so, those two may fit the BILL for a potential #1 or #2 WR.  Hopefully one of them are there when we pick.

     

    I would like us to go BPA of the following positions......OT, G, WR, CB.  The two WR's spoken of are intriguing being...

     

    Deon Cain WR Clemson 6'2 202, 4.43 40, 33.5 vert (5.86 grade)

     

    Equanimeous St. Brown WR Notre Dame 6'5 214, 4.48 40 (5.69 grade)

     

    Go Bills!!

     

    I agree with your positions of need, and hope they take a look at OLB and RB is value is there.

     

    I'm ok BPA right now, this is a 2-3 year rebuild, so any hidden gem at 4-7 is a win IMO

    He would be one of the three that may fit that description.

    Nice looking player.  That sounds like a perfect shot with a 4th rounder!  That would be a good option I would be interested in tomorrow.  But, it sounds like he isn't going to make it to us?!

     

    Some teams have passed on him because he was suspended in his sophomore year, and his production hasn't matched the talent, but he did improve each year and showed up big in big games. He may not be a McBeane fit.

     

    I like him and St. Brown as potential #2 WRs

     

    Another good size and speed combo, probable #2 at best though.

     

    EQUANIMEOUS ST. BROWN WR Notre Dame 6'5 214, 4.48 40 (5.69 grade)

     

    NFL Comparison - Andre Holmes :(

     

    St. Brown does not have the typical NFL prospect background. His father, John Brown, was a two-time Mr. Universe and three-time Mr. World as a weightlifter. His mother is from Germany. He lived in France for a short time as a youth and went to a French school while living in California. But it was St. Brown's game that really got him noticed as a recruit, as he earned a top 100 overall prospect rankings after excelling his final two years (74 catches, 1,210 yards, 10 touchdowns) at Servite High School in Anaheim. Equanimeous (a form of equanimity, meaning to stay calm and cool under pressure) played in seven games as a freshman (one catch, eight receiving yards, blocked punt against USC), missing the final four with a shoulder injury. He and Deshone Kizer formed an alliance in 2016, however, allowing him to use his tall frame, huge catching radius, and long strides to lead the Irish with 58 receptions, 961 yards, and nine receiving touchdowns. Notre Dame's passing game went south with Brandon Winbush leading the offense, so St. Brown's statistics dropped (33 catches, 515 yards, four touchdowns). After his brother, Amon-Ra, decided to attend USC instead of UND as a five-star receiver recruit, Equanimeous' road to the NFL was paved.

    I don't know much about Brown, but, I think if we add a WR in the draft they need to be capable or being a #1 or #2 WR.  Not a slot WR.  Otherwise address another position.  I don't feel the need to load up #3-#6 WR's.  Those WR's can be found almost anywhere.  No track stars or pure burners.

    Here is your potential remaining #2

     

    Deon Cain WR Clemson 6'2 202, 4.43 40, 33.5 vert (5.86 grade)

     

    NFL Comparison - Roddy White

     

    Cain is a classic Clemson receiver with a good combination of size and speed and an underappreciated feel for the position. Cain's routes are smooth, but also show an understanding of coverage. Cain has the pure speed to attack over the top, but he should be a competitive option on all three levels. His drops are more a function of concentration than ability, but it needs to be improved. Cain has the chance to become a very good NFL starter but is better suited to handle the WR2 rather than a role as the alpha target.

    He adds to the growing collection of hotties our players are dating and/or married to so there is that...

    McCarron, Poyer and now Allen are all with total smokeshows

     

     

     

    Our WAGs are outstanding. McBeane know what they are doing ;)

    Here are the leaked scores for the QBs in this draft

     

    Josh Allen: 37

    Josh Rosen: 29

    Sam Darnold: 28

    Baker Mayfield: 25

    Lamar Jackson: 13

     

    Ironic the spelling and grammar about an intelligence test was so poorly written, but here is some insight about scores and success correlation:

     

    " An artcile on Medium did some research on quarterback scores and discovered, "There seems to be a sort of smartness threshold, where the best NFL quarterbacks need to be at least this smart to see success. But once a QB passes that threshold (around a score of 25), their additional smartness has little to no effect on success on the field."

    "I kind of say the saying that my position is like the fire hydrant at the dog show," Phillips said. "You're the guy in the middle right there and everyone's kind of coming up and pissing on you. I was able to be a really shiny fire hydrant at the dog show I guess."

    :lol:

     

     

    Beat me to it. Love this kid

     

    At one point, Phillips was thought of as a potential first or second round pick. He doesn't have the same measureable as other defensive tackles in this draft, but if there's one thing about this kid, he'll embrace the grunt work. 

    "I kind of say the saying that my position is like the fire hydrant at the dog show," Phillips said at the Senior Bowl. "You're the guy in the middle right there and everyone's kind of coming up and pissing on you. I was able to be a really shiny fire hydrant at the dog show I guess. Thank the linebackers for sometimes pulling off those double teams on me. I appreciate the coaching staff not seeing me as some 340-pound guy who can't move and understanding my abilities, understanding I'm more athletic than the typical nose, faster than the typical nose, knowing my strength. When a play needed to be made and we would call a timeout, coach would say, 'Hey, go win. Go do what you have to do and get us the ball.'" 

     

    Just watched his highlight film. His lateral movement, even while being blocked or doubled is exceptional. With Edmunds behind him to clean up, we shouldn't be giving up 200+ on the ground anymore.
