They have Bodine as an insurance policy if they cant get Paradis or Morse in FA, or a good prospect in the draft..
I wonder if Teller can be moved to Center?

Let them play I think this is also the theme for the Pats themselves not for there opponents.
How is it with human error officials Pat's can go multiple playoffs without being called for holding? I truly believe the Pat's are a great organization and don't really need the help in most gms. But it like they always get the pressure point calls at the worst time for other team. Something just smells like smoke and where there is smoke There's usually fire.

The holding call stunk.
HOWEVER...
Football is and always has been an imperfect game. It is subject to human error by the officials, whose jobs are much harder than they appear to us who get to watch the game from our couch in super slo-mo HD. The refs pretty much "let 'em play" all night long on Sunday, for better or worse. The play you mentioned was one exception.
The bad holding call didn't cause Goff to throw too late to a wide open Cooks, negating a touchdown. The bad holding call didn't force the Rams to come out in base defensive personnel on four straight plays against the Pats empty sets, leading to an easy Pats touchdown drive. The bad holding call didn't cause Wade Phillips to choose not to double cover Julian PEDelman on numerous critical 3rd downs. Even DIRECTLY after that holding call, on 2nd and 22, the instant replay showed that Robert Woods got WIDE open for first down yardage on a deep square in. Goff missed him and chucked it deep to the well-covered flanker instead. I could go on and on.
The bottom line is that blaming the entire outcome of the game on one bad offensive holding call -- when the Rams had NUMEROUS opportunities to win that game, needing only to score TWO touchdowns in four quarters -- is bogus. The Pats earned the win, the Rams earned the loss.How is it that Pat's never seem to be on the wrong end of the imperfect officials

I don't know. Both teams seemed to have 20 yard plays that usually gets them out of the funk and then the drive stalls around the 50. That play wouldn't have even happened without the Gilmore hold so I'm going to not complain about the refs for a change after this game.
The Rams offense isn't the same without Gurley at 100% and Cooper Kupp. Belichick had a brilliant game plan of rushing 6 and playing more zone than usual. The secondary also did a great job of disguising it. Jared Goff was never able to get comfortable. I guess we should've seen it coming with giving Belichick two weeks to prepare for a young QB.
I'm not gonna give all the credit to the refs. The Pat's did some great things during the game . At the same time the Gilmore call was 100% holding on him and on the Gurley run it was not. A bad call at the best possible time for the Pats I'm not surprised.

Not worth it. He is a Pats fan. Kinda weird they are on a Bills board but I guess they get bored.
Since there here let them hear this.
I DONT RESPECT ManMadeDYNASTY .
Let's not forget Bob Kraft is the original cheater of the bunch. He stole Belicheck from the Jets after he was hired. I mean the man had a initial press conference . This dynasty was born in cheating and has lived in it ever since. Must be nice not ever having to play behind the sticks when it matters. The Pat's Oline oh no they never hold EVER!. It must be like 4 playoffs in a row that they haven't gotten more then 1 holding call threwout. Let's not talk about there return units must be nice .

I love to see Defense played. I’d rather watch a 13-3 game then the zero defense from last years super bowl. To me there was nothing boring about it. Until the very end, almost any play could have decided that game. I’m so happy that in a season where all everyone spoke about was offense...the Super Bowl only had 1 touchdown. I wish teams were allowed to play defense every game. Make football, football again.
Is that u McD? Lol.
This wasn't football again this some ugly step child of football again. Football again wouldn't have every pass up the middle or even that flag early in the game on the Rams for unnecessary roughness.
BTW that holding call on the Rams on the Gurley run was a backbreaker the momentum changed after that. The Pat's always have great timing with these sorts of things.

It looks like a lot of people saw that Iowa State bowl game. Butler was a monster in that game, albeit in a losing effort. His catch radius is just phenomenal; probably what we thought we were getting when we picked up KB. He's exactly what we need, I think.
The prb with Butler is he has a hard time vs the press he's also stiff in the hips and has straight line speed only . I think he'll be available late 2nd or early 3rd.

Not a priority for many decades for the Bills, lots of other needs ahead of this.
What we need is difference makers and in today NFL other then QB u won't find much positions that make a difference more then a TE.
If the Bills see TJ Hockenson as the next Kelce then it's a no brainer . Can't find these guys in free agency. Basically franchise QBs & TEs never hit free agency there to valuable . With that being said take the guy and fill your "needs" elsewhere.

Agree w you, but i think its not about the firepower, its about the availability. I dont want to do another Charles Clay, Langston Walker, or Dockery FA contract throwing $ at our need without it being a good player....
If someone like Khalil Mack were out there again, with our firepower i would do that, but i dont think the pieces will all be there for the taking. J Clowney is due to become a FA possibly (but prob wont), would you throw a ton of $ at him and then go OL & WR in the draft completing the strategy you are suggesting?
No Clowney he's not explosive enough to warrant the type of money he will get. I'd much rather use the money on Grady Jarrett and Donte Fowler. Both players are still young Jarrett is 26 & Fowler 24. These 2 guys will help our dline immensely.
Use free agency and mid rds of draft to build the Oline add 3-5 players this off-season . Preferably 3 players in free agency and 2 via draft. The 3 I would target via free agency
LT Trent Brown
RT D Williams
C Mitch Morse
Adding these 3 players will allow us to move Dawkins to LG where he has potential to be a pro bowl player .
2019 OLINE
LT Brown
LG Dawkins
C Morse
RG Teller
RT Williams
This line can be a force for yrs to come . I know it will cost some serious money to get these guys to come to Buffalo but even if we have to overpay it will be worth the money. We have the cap space so use it .
The Draft
In the draft we go hunting for the skill position players . Try to trade bk with Washington and aquire a extra 2nd rd pk.
#15 - TE -TJ Hockenson
#40 - Wr- Marquis Brown
#46- LB- Devin Bush
#75- Wr - Andy Isabella
4th Rd- RB Darrell Henderson
2nd 4th RB Elijah Holyfield
With this draft our offense can develop into a power house in a few yrs.

Outstanding, Huds.
Honestly, brother, how long has it been since we've had not only loved our line, but loved the depth at it?
Knowing that if someone goes down we don't have to worry goes the next Bill up can go a game or 2?
Man, I mean we've been pining so long for just five good ones the last memory I have of having more than 5 goes back to the sup bowl days.
I wish Marv would have added OL to his, you never can have enough quality DBs statement.
Man at this pt i would take our 2015 line. Incog, Wood & Cordy all pro bowl caliber players. Plus we had some really good bkups at tackle gaurd and center. Kujo , Groy and Seantrel was great depth.

TJ Hockenson at #9 or hopefully via a trade down.
This pk kills 3 birds with 1 stone.
#3- He's a Process guy a leader type plays with a ton of passion and loves the gm of football.
#2- Great blocker in pass pro and running game.
#1- A Incredible athlete at TE can play all over the field, fits any offense . A futuristic type player . Drafting TJ in the first gives us the best player available at a position of need. Book it he will be a top 5 player in this draft when its all said and done.

I think you've nailed it. They are trying to build the Patriot's culture.
In NE they do take chances on some under-achievers in FA, but they feel like they can do it because the established culture is so strong that the new guys will "get with the program" or be gone quickly. This approach requires that they (Pats) have the discipline to cut bait on guys who won't work early and decively enough so that it doesn't give others on the team the idea that slacking will be tolerated.
I think that Beane and McDermott have done a good job of weeding out talented under-achievers like Dareus and Benjamin, but still too early in establishing the culture to spend high picks on guys who won't give their best.
Weeding out Benji after trading for him? Lol.
12 hours ago, Pete said:The first round will be BPA(Oliver?) if we stay pat. But Mr Beane likes to deal, and loves draft picks-he will trade down IMO. I think we hold off on WR until 2nd/3rd where there will be options.
Im really starting to think a trade bk with the Skins adding a extra 2 and drafting TJ Hock at #15 is the best and safest way to start the draft.

Not at all 11mil to play less then 40% of the snaps. Run stuffer DTs shouldnt get paid much. We made huge mistake with this signing.

Allen is a gunslinger without a doubt. The hallmark in my view is he’s not even considering the check down. He’s looking 20 yards downfield.
most of his runs were scrambles, not designed like Cam.
Yes best runs were scrambles thats true i love when does that . But i hate when they call the draws even though its just a few times a game.

Lot of folks think greatness overcomes impediments or they say, "Well, maybe not as great numbers, but he'd still be terrific." And because you can't disprove (or prove) a counter-factual, it's impossible to refute. I think fortune plays a large role in destiny. No one can anticipate exactly how an individual will react in different circumstances or project a freak injury. I am not convinced Mahomes would have experienced success here, though I lobbied for us to draft him. What we know: Mahomes was given a red-shirt year to learn, surrounded by excellent coaching and offensive personnel. We also know Allen was thought to need a redshirt year, was thrown into the fire with not much surrounding help. I think his performance was clearly improved after returning from injury. There's reason to be hopeful Allen will be a genuine franchise qb. Everything else is guesswork.
I agree and would like to add that watching film of Mahomes in college the kid had this Gunslingers gunslinger mindset . In this way Mahomes is a throwback type of QB like Kelly, Marino, Favre & Elway. He has that unmeasured "it" factor. I was begging the Bills to draft him.
Hopefully Allen can develop that type of mindset because he has the tools to be a true Gunslinger type QB. The problem is McBeane seems to want to ruin him by using him like a Cam Newton. I hate when they call that QB draw play i cringe when i see it. Im not saying JA shouldnt run. He should be running within the structure of the passing gm ala Young, Elway & Rodgers. I really believe if we keep using JA like Cam we will ruin him.

OK, let's have a little discussion about the players Buffalo might be looking at in the first round of the draft, barring a trade down. I think the list of possibilities includes:
Ed Oliver, Jonah Williams, Greg Little, Jawaan Taylor, Jeffery Simmons, Rashan Gary, and Christian Wilkins. You can add more to the list with your post if you want, but that's not really the point of the thread. My questions I want to discuss are: Are there any prospects you like with absolutely no reservations? Are there any that you won't like under any circumstances?
And, Are there any that you might be OK with if you see something in them between now and draft day that allays concerns you might have.For instance, I really have no reservations about Christian Wilkins except maybe he wasn't quite as dominant as you might hope with future pros lined up all around him. He might be a bit of a reach at #9 for that reason. There are none that I can't be happy about under any circumstances. Ed Oliver was highly disruptive as an interior pass rusher, but there are questions about his strength and coachability. I think he needs to put up a good number of reps in the bench at the combine and really shine in the interviews. Jonah Williams is an outstanding technician, but is not really physically dominant. I want to see him put up good numbers in the bench. Greg Little is said to have textbook measurables but might be inconsistent in his effort. He needs to have strong interviews. I want to see something that says he has passion for the game. Jawaan Taylor is massive and strong according to reports, but is a bit slower that some other prospects at OT. Jeffery Simmons can dominate on the field but has old video hanging over his head from a high school ncident where he beat up a girl. I want to see some more about him that tells me he's grown past that and it will not be a problem in the future. Rashan Gary Is a bit of a tweener (3 technique DT in a 4-3 and a DE in a 3-4 defense). He was also not terribly productive at Michigan and not especially coachable . I want to see where he owns up to his past and gives evidence he can grow into a 3 tech defensive tackle where he would be needed by the Bills.
Let's see what you've got.
I got a feeling it wont be any players on this list that we take. Watch out for DK Metcalf if he tears up the combine runs a 4.4 at 6'4 230 he will be the pk.

Sad, but true. Even Cleveland has some cache.
I was just back in Buffalo for the 2017 Raiders game and was blown away by the improvements downtown. Stayed at the damn Hampton Inn by the Airport and even that was awesome. People drinking RESPONSIBLY in the hallways, etc. Yeah, that's my kind of place. Went to 716 and it was amazing!
With all that said, Buffalo is not a great FA destination so it's always going to be more important than anything to draft well. Pittsburgh figured that out years ago. We need to be uncharacteristically aggressive this offseason, but it shouldn't be the
We've seen the Bills add players on Defense and the oline via free agency over the yrs. Its the top rated skill position guys that really dont sign here. With that being said McBeane really needs to understand this and use the draft especially in the higher rds to aquire these types of players.
Use the cap space to add to the lines
DLINE
DT 3tech Grady Jarett 25
DE Dante Fowler 24
These 2 signings add great depth to our line Grady will give us that burst we didnt have up the middle allowing our ends to get home and get some sacks. Fowler is only 24yrs old and entering his prime. I can see him flourishing in Mcd defense . We still have Shaq, Murph & Hughes on the edges . Sign back Phillips to a modest deal and we will have at least 8players that can play in a heavy rotation.
Oline
RT D Will 26
LT Trent Brown 26
C Mitch Morse 26
If we can land these 3 players get ready for great yr. I would try to bring them all in on visit from the 1st day of free agency. Overpay if u have to because we will save money on the the skill position players that we aquire during the draft. So overpaying and outbidding everyone wont kill our cap. Plus these guys are all in there primes with yrs ahead of them. Our line will be a strenght for yrs to come.

Starting to think we should sign Williams and Trent Brown, move Dawkins to guard and draft the best center possible. Paradies has been my target, but looking at his age and his injuries+ the $ he’ll command, I don’t think he’s our best option.
I would love this but cant see McBeane spending much in free agency. We will be lucky to get one of these guys.

Not sure how Bean is going to approach this but Risner will be a Bill. Either trade back pick up some extra picks and draft arisner or draft a stud DL at #9 and then trade back up to the 20s and get Risner also. But I have a very good feeling he will be a Buffalo Bill next year.
I understand the infactuation with Risner but he's not a Nelson type prospect . Yes he's having a great week at the senior bowl but he's not facing anyone there thats projected to go really high in the draft.
I'd much rather take a TE like Tj Hockenson whether it be at pk#9 or trading bk a few selections. TJ is basically a 3 for 1 player as he can be a big part of your passing, rushing & blocking gms. The Bills need difference makers with there high pks in the draft. Olineman seem to always be available via free agency but top talent TEs like Hockenson can only be aquired via the draft. U cant get guys like this in free agency or via trade . I think its a no brainer take the TE and build the oline with mid rd pks that u can develop and free agency.

First off it was an amazing day in Mobile. North practice the weather was perfect. The South was later and it started to chill off a bit.
Long story short, Grudens practice was more intense, his staff was more intense and seemed more structured vs the 49ers staff.
I was one of the first fans in the stands. After I sat down I heard a voice that sounded familiar. I turned around and saw an older guy behind me in a Colts Beenie, it was Bill Polian, which he then sat behind me. About 10 mins later I got up to go to the restroom and I asked him if he had his Buffalo Beenie with him too. He laughed and shook his head yes.
Anyways to the player observations...
North Squad
Mitch Wishnowski Punter Utah-
Pretty good size kid 6’2” 220lbs, Live leg, big time hang time. Consistently 50-55 yard punts from line of scrimmage, 60-65 yards in air. Gruden was even pumping this kid up. This kid definitely gets drafted.
Dalton Risner OT K State-
during warmups jumped in at Center with Daniel Jones/Ryan Finley. Big Solid Dude, arm length is there. Biggest Center, only played center on warmups. Other centers were McCoy of Texas A&M, Garrett Bradbury of N.C. State and Michael Deiter Wisconsin. Risner has only 1 speed, always aggressive, he plays violent. Good movement looks coordinated. Plays under control, stays over his pads, never reaches. 1 play Down blocked on Cominsky open huge hole with initial punch. Was paired up against Zach Allen most the day. Allen was owned by Risner all day, which lead to Allen getting frustrated and a fight between two broke out. Zach Allen started it. Risner wasn’t going to back down. Risner is kind of nasty. The guy the gets the last shove as the whistle blows every play. He was very vocal. Constantly yelling out in support of his fellow Olinemen, “Good Shiz Chris (Lindstrom) Helll yeah.” Him and Lindstrom were 2 peas in a pod. Risner sounds and acted like a leader, verbally out loud pumping up his OL when doing good, pumping his fist after a good run, showing intensity after flooring someone. Dalton took on Wren and dominated him when Gruden called the team together for a 1 on 1 and paired the two against each other. Risner ran up to Gruden in excitement, don’t know exactly what he said but it was like a “I got this”...
Michael Deiter OL Wisconsin-
lined up everywhere, listed as 6’6” but looked little small, waist/lower body not thick. Struggled all day. 1 on 1 got pushed back often and just out muscles. Just did Not to have the power.
Chris Lindstrom Boston College RG-
Athletic somewhat lean but big /quick and fluid. Could probably stand to add 5-10 lbs. Great feet, another Coordinated guy. Recovered easily but can get over powered at times. Athletic enough to position himself while pulling. Solid Guard for sure. High effort kid.
Garrett Bradbury C NC State-
looks solid, big butt kid, Bradbury vs Wren was good all day, Bradbury winning nearly all even during team. Bradbury buried UW Gaines a couple times. Kid is solid. Great hands and feet. Good hands/seems strong. Gets out on screens well. Best Center at Senior Bowl.
Max Sharping OT Northern Illinois-
big kid, good build, feet below avg. gets beat inside pretty consistently RT is in his future. May take a couple years as a teams swing tackle. Potential is there, just needs the time experience and coaching.
Renell Wren DT ASU-
freakishly big, big butt solid all around. Destroyed Texas A&M center McCoy on first 1 on 1. Quick off the ball, explosive and that’s about it. Extends arms well. Got Beat up on the double team. Slow moving laterally. Not quick enough to slip double teams. Hands need to get better. This will be a run stuffer DT, didn’t really seem to possess ability to get after the passer.
John Cominsky DE Charleston-
nice size, looks the part, big arms, solid lower half. I was really excited to see what this small school kid could do. Not very fluid, stiff, lacks true athleticism. Just not fast or quick enough.
Andy Isabella WR UMass-
shorter kid, but thick legs/lower body. looks to be strong lower body. Fast and very quick. Great hands.
Terry McLaurin OSU WR-
Quick, fast, soft hands, in and out of cuts effortlessly. Decent size, looks smaller on TV but he’s actually pretty solid. Probably best WR North squad.
Caleb Wilson UCLA TE-
fights catching the ball, skinny lower body. Does not look like a TE. Listed at 235 lbs. seen his name thrown around here. This kid is going to have a hard time making it in the league.
Keelan Doss WR UC Davis-
decent size, skinny lower body, good hands, not very quick no twitch. Slow in and out of breaks. I had high hopes for this kid. I could be wrong but maybe he can make the special teams.
Germaine Pratt ILB N.C. State-
athletic LB. Darius Leonard build. Quick/fast. Hesitant on play action looked lost a couple times after realizing they didn’t run the ball. Playing ILB, too small. Looks to have potential, great covering RB out of backfield, sniff out swing passes. Slippery getting threw the line cause he’s quick. In zone coverage struggled in space some. Might be better WLB, Milano needs a better replacement.
Charles Omenihu Texas DE-
looks the part for sure. Not fast, not explosive. Doesn’t look to be an athletic freak compared to measurables.
Greg Gaines UW DT-
power house, short but gets off the ball well and can use leverage well. Multiple times got buried being over his feet too much. Will plug some holes and eat up space but needs to play under better controls.
Dre Greenlaw Arkansas LB-
shorter but solid build brick house. Gets around and is pretty quick. Makes quick reads and diagnoses plays well. Head on a swivel and doesn’t cover grass in zone. All around pretty solid, ILB, May be better WLB Milano type kid. I was impressed with this kid. Definitely high effort, super focused and very vocal talking in the field as far as alignment etc.
Byron Cowart Maryland DT-
quick, great hands that’s his strength. motor type guy, not powerful but strong enough. Good size. Pretty solid overall. A hustle guy.
Dexter Williams RB Notre Damn-
down hill runner. Big arms, solid lower body. Not a player who is gonna juke you. Not a lot of twitch, but hits the hole fast. A lot of his teams seemed to get fired up when he ran the ball.
Ben Banogu TCU OLB/Edge-
Not instinctual, hesitant. Good size, looks the part just nothing eye popping. Decent quickness. Definitely not a 3 down OLB. A Lorax type build. Kind of disappointed.
South Squad-
Montez Sweat DE Miss St-
Lower body very skinny/thin. Don’t know how much power he can generate. Definitely has length. Decent upper body. Jumpy you can tell he anticipates the snap, Hughes style. Can get low on speed rush but lack of lower body strength get him out off line. Try’s to Bull rush but was unsuccessful twice. He’s not the top 10 or even top 15 guy folks talk about. Maybe last 10 picks of round 1. Remember he’ll be play NFL Tackles every Sunday. He got buried once today.
Jonathan Ledbetter DE Georgia-
big arms, thick lower body, solid build. Bull rush guy has some power. Not the quickest off the ball. Decent athlete, he’s a hold the edge run contain DE like Shaq.
Ben Powers OG Oklahoma-
Biggest belly of Oline. More jiggle in the mid section but nothing to worry about. Good feet, looks quick. Held his own against Buggs of Alabama. Has a great base, stays squared up. Rotated between LG and RG never came off the field and looked great on both sides. Dude is solid. One of the better G at the Senior Bowl. Lindstrom is a little more athletic but Powers isn’t far behind.
Kingsley Keke DT Texas A&M-
good size, solid build, great hands. Quick for how big he is. Looks athletic. Thick lower body big butt, strong kid. Pretty impressive DE/DT tweener Says Hes 305 lbs But plays like he’s 280. This seems like a McD Dline Guy. Strong against the run, quick enough to rush the passer.
Andre Dillard LT WSU-
nice build looks like a LT, beat by DE Ferguson maybe a hold on Dillard, just speed rush. Beat Ferguson next chance. Small feet for whatever it’s worth. I say that cause some of these dudes have like size 15 feet, he’s got the Burger King hands of feet. But has Quick feet. Arm length looks suspect but good enough shorter than Risners. Not the strongest and looks suspect to the inside move, Granderson got him on his heels once, And he feel on his butt during team. Hard to beat on speed rush though. Not seeing him as the best LT, if so it’s a super weak LT class. Late first round if you ask me. Maybe early second.
Ross Pierschbacher C Alabama-
looks bigger than expected, that was a knock on him. Got over powered by Buggs his Bama teammate but stood him up next rep. Pretty solid play, Bradbury definitely has the edge at Center. But Pierschbacher is solid. Stays over pads, doesn’t reach, strength is there can anchor decently.
David Sills WR West Virginia-
skinny has good length, great hands, smooth runner. Not the fastest. I was expecting more due to all hype. Round 3-4 kid, may slip lower.
Deebo Samuels WR South Carolina-
thick kid, soft hands, lower body legs look strong. Ran bye Rock Ya on a go route, had 2-3 steps on him. Faster than he looks. Quick. Other WRs gravitated towards him. Pretty it’s his personality. Always had a smile. Seemed very focused when called upon. Very solid looking for being shorter.
Anthony Johnson WR Buffalo-
Good size, not quick. Not as big as he plays on tape. Decent route runner nothing special. Seems heavy footed. Lacks concentration, dropped an easy pass ok 75% drill. Just don’t think he’s a high effort guy. For those that want him in the second he may slip to the late 3rd early 4th. This draft has some talented WRs.
Tyre Brady WR Marshall-
good height long arms, soft hands. Skinny lower body. Fast straight line speed. Didn’t see much.
Dax Raymond TE Utah State-
best TE south squad. Smooth runner, got some twitch for a TE. Decent speed route runner. Kid is actually pretty good. Greg Kittle type. Great hands, soft and made it look easy. 6’5” 250 lbs definitely helped his stock.
Jaylon Ferguson DE La Tech-
is quick off the ball. Good size, thick kid. High effort motor kid. Hands are good. Put up a ton of sacks but I don’t see it happening in the NFL, another Shaq type, but the kid has a solid frame.
Granderson DE Wyoming-
looks more of a 3-4 OLB. Not very strong or twitchy. Decent athlete but will definitely have to play in a 3-4.
Oshane Ximines DE Old Dominion-
is quick, fast. Looks thin. 3-4 OLB, but can come off the edge, faster than Sweat off the edge. Kid can speed rush. But he needs to add 10 lbs to his frame regardless of what style defense he goes to.
So I sat behind McD, Daboll, Frazier and scouting crew. They left 1 hr early during the South practice and didn’t finish watch South Sq.
Dabolls sweat pants and dress leather jacket were an awesome combo. Maybe meeting with North Sq players? Or maybe they watched enough over the last few days.
My Day 3 MVP was Dalton Risner hands down. Dude plays with intensity. He’s vocal, gets excited, cheers on his teammates, he’s scrappy/nasty at times and doesn’t backdown. I’m telling you, he’s solid. Honestly I know he could play C or G as well. If he was Center he’d probably be the best center in the draft. Center is the spot you want a vocal leader, Captain type brawler. That’s Dalton. But he plays RT at a high level as well. Everyone afterwards wanted to talk to this kid. No way he makes it past 20. He’s got all the intangibles you look for that makes a winner
Dalton Risner sounds like a Frank Ragnow type player and if he can play like him im all in with him in 2nd rd.

I think this is possible. He has a hard time fighting the press and is limited route runner . I heard he also has basic straight line speed.
