I posted in draft day thread: ESPN very positive almost effusive on Lundt - Mel - Run blocker, Love this kid, can get out and pull, get out on the perimeter, get the job done on the 2nd level, Love finisher mentality, As pass blocker the footwork and technique is good, Chase Lundt has talent, good athletic ability, Best is yet to come, showed what he can do this year as both a run and pass blocker, Josh Allen's gonna like Chase Lundt coming into the fold, Lot of skills and lot of potential moving forward Riddick: That's the prototype developmental OT, he has the athletic ability now just build around that frame, the movement skills, the understanding of how the position is to be played, the footwork, the angles, they may have really really hit on something there in the 6th rd

From Dane Brugler - The Athletic - Beast Draft Guide. A really good publication by the way...
A three-year starter at Kentucky, Walker was an interchangeable defensive lineman in defensive coordinator Brad White’s scheme (45.7 percent of his 2024 snaps came as a three-technique DT, 26.3 percent as a one-technique/nose, 25 percent head-up on or outside of the offensive tackle). After earning preliminary first-round grades from scouts as a sophomore, his junior season wasn’t nearly as dominant or consistent (pressures created dropped from 51 in 2023 to 21 in 2024), partly because of his back injury.
A passionate basketball player through high school, Walker certainly benefits from the “planet theory” — there are only so many humans walking the earth who have his combination of size, strength and sweet feet. Though he doesn’t play stiff, there are sloppy elements of his game that must improve to streamline his ability to stack, shed and finish. Overall, Walker is a unique athlete with impressive balance and movement skills for a 330-plus-pounder, but his technique and pad level must catch up with his physical talent for the flashes to become consistent. If he adapts to pro coaching, he has the skill set to become an NFL starter.
Note: Had him rated as a 4th rounder...Bills needed a space eater but a tough space eater. Hopefully the D coaching staff can develop him. Maybe having Ray Davis and Mad Max on the team will help.
"Walker certainly benefits from the “planet theory” — there are only so many humans walking the earth who have his combination of size, strength and sweet feet." - that's a great quote

From Bob McGinn:
Said one scout: “He’s as big as they come. In the trenches you’ve got to play with some type of leverage. He just stands up way too often and gets pushed around a little too much. It’s still a big man’s game and he has some ability when he wants to. He just needs the right environment. He’ll probably end up in Philly and be great.”
Funny bc we moved in front of Philly and they just drafter a DT

In his PC Beane said "it's harder to find inside rush than 2 down nose - those guys - you can go in free agency now and find those"

The Ravens are having a MUCH better draft than the Bills. This doesn't bode well for 2025 and beyond.
We have the MVP

This draft has been pretty boring. I don't mind the occasional crap talker to try and spice things up
It's better than marching out a girls flag football team

That's why we did it. Not to jump the Jets. To jump the 49ers. Sanders is a MUCH better scheme fit for Saleh than Alfred Collins.
People who say "he probably would have been there if we didn't trade down" don't understand that usually the team moving has reason to believe that player is targeted by another team in front

Thad Brown should at least know he is 192 lbs now not 183...
And apparently the shoulder was mostly due to an infected needle - not injury prone bc small

Didnt realize the missed time from shoulder "injury" was mostly because of an infected needle at the hospital - that's crazy

He needs to put on 10 lbs to weight the same as Tre at the combine.
I think he can be a difference maker, just hope he can put on a bit of muscle and start healthy.
At his PC Beane said he already has gained some weight and is "in the 190's" Was confident some time with Bills staff would add muscle without sacrificing speed

Did she just say "get ready in Buffalo for the greatest season of your lives??"
Ha - I heard Buffalo too - had to rewind - she said "Buckle-up"

Maybe Steelers will get Sanders after all

Serious question - one of the strikes against Buffalo hosting events like this is supposed to be lack of hotel space - surely it has more than Green Bay?

Thought McD's 'halftime adjustment' answer was interesting. Something that is always discussed during games - and Manning famously downplayed "I don't know if I ever made a halftime adjustment in my entire 18-year career. I think that's the biggest myth in football- the halftime adjustments. You go in, you use the restroom, you eat a couple of oranges, and then the head coach says, 'Alright, let's go!"
McD kind of echoed that - and said you need to start making adjustments in the 2nd quarter.

The first Bills team to play at Rich Stadium.
I'm sure I had this hanging in my bedroom when I was a kid - it might still be in the bedroom closet at my Dad's house lol
This is still in there (1971)

Random item: On Mcafee today Rodgers said Josh was one of his best friends in the league (context was how he had discussion w/ Daboll and enjoyed him)

I still remember the clip of Hard Knocks when the GM was telling a few guys they had made the pro bowl. The players are all high fiving and McDaniel starts talking and it was like Sgt Buzzkill killed the moment
Really smart guy, doesn't seem like a strong leader
In that hard knocks when he tried to "rally" the locker room by talking tough it was one of the cringiest things I've ever seen. You could almost hear the eye rolls. That hard knocks season is exhibit A how you first need to be a leader of men to be a good HC - 'quirkiness' and word salads don't win the locker room when things start getting tough

My timely hot non-Bills sports take is the Masters Butler cabin "ceremony" sucks. Nothing drains the fun/excitement/celebration out of a just-happened championship win like that does

If a magical genie came to you tomorrow and said:
I will grant a lifetime of winning the division, making the playoffs, and “contending” for a SB, but it’s guaranteed that you will never see a Bills Super Bowl win ever.
Would you take that deal?
Hypothetical has no relevance to my point. The only way to win a SB is to be good enough to contend for it. Enjoy having good teams year after year that have a real chance to win it.
Bills 4th Round Pick : Deone Walker - DT - Kentucky

In Beane's PC he said he'd play both - their approach to Dline is similar to OL where they are looking for versatility. As has been discussed in some threads - in the Bills scheme a 1 tech is not necessarily just a 400lb block of goo that can't be moved, they are looking for pass rush/penetration from all positions.
