Buffalo Bills Consensus Draft Grades
gonzo1105 replied to Victory Formation's topic in The Stadium Wall
I’m somewhere between an A- and a B+. Favorite pick: TJ Sanders Least: Deone Walker -
Elijah Moore Visiting the Bills today (Update: Signed!)
gonzo1105 replied to bills742's topic in The Stadium Wall
I just think that Brady is of the ilk of get me guys who can RAC and I’ll scheme them to get open. He does this well with guys particularly when it comes to the middle of the football field. I would feel better with Moore as well and because of his age you would hope he has some upside still or having a better QB allows for increased production -
I listened to it and it’s funny because I think both sides are correct. I do think that Jeremy wasn’t expecting that and the look on his face was a oh sh*t how do I calm this down.

Elijah Moore Visiting the Bills today (Update: Signed!)
gonzo1105 replied to bills742's topic in The Stadium Wall
I do think he would add the horizontal speed aspect that they talked about more than the vertical aspect for sure. I wonder if signing Palmer was their solution to the vertical aspect even though he doesn’t run particularly fast -
Elijah Moore Visiting the Bills today (Update: Signed!)

Year my first thought process is that this is like Josh Palmer but more the speed Josh Palmer. Legit NFL WR that has underachieved so far but has some really good traits that the Bills/Allen hope to elevate -
I would be too . Haven’t listened yet but the Buffalo media asked nothing but size questions on DT after Day 2 of the draft and pretty much did the same thing to TJ Sanders in his media availability asking him what his weight was and how much he thinks he can gain. Beane actually mentioned this at the Day 3 presser about DT than he gets hammered about not taking a WR earlier in the draft which I think we all wanted but it’s clear that myself and a lot of other people were off on Jalen Royals round projection etc. It’s clear that the Bills valued Deone Walker more than staying put and getting a WR at 132 and whoever the best 1T/DT was at pick 169 if they hadn’t traded up.

Totally get it but at the same time the Bucs defense is absolute garbage and the only reason they win that division every year is because the other teams are awful. It’s not an indication how good the Bucs are Everybody keeps talking about last years class because it was perceived as a great class but as it pertains to difference makers even in that strong class no one from the 3rd round on made really any type of contribution in their rookie year . Maybe future years will be different for that class but people acting as if if KeAndre Smith or others were going to come in and get reps in their rookie year as a difference making vertical threat are mistaken

How quick do we sign Shaun Dolac as a UFDA?
gonzo1105 replied to billrooter's topic in The Stadium Wall
He did a good job picking the Rams. They had a huge need at LB and only took Paul in the draft in round 5 -
I mean I don’t necessarily disagree with you. I just think that they believe the offense is set this year and the defense needed a complete overhaul and they were right in that sense. I always thought they would take 3 DL and 2 DBs in this class and I was wrong they took 3 so I understand the line of thinking that those two groupings needed an overhaul and they used the strength of the draft to hopefully achieve that goal. They need Coleman to take a leap and they need Kincaid to get back to form of his rookie season if not better or they’ll be spending another 3rd rounder week 6 for a weapon

I think their thought process is that we have our 4 WRS all locked up beyond this year. Samuel, Coleman, Shakir, and Palmer are basically all locks to make the roster for various reasons and the # 5 WR that they have kept over their tenure has been a STs guy. Well look no further than Shavers who has been here the last couple of years developing and his specialty is Special teams play. Then Shenault is here as a possible returner and 6th guy if they want to go in that Direction. In their minds they probably only had a PS opening available for a WR this year and that’s probably where Prather will end up unless he absolutely explodes onto the scene. I’m not saying it’s the right strategy I just am trying to get into their line of thinking on why

Bills 5th Round Pick (#2) : Jackson Hawes - TE - Georgia Tech
gonzo1105 replied to Simon's topic in The Stadium Wall
I will not accept Jackson Hawes slander. Haven’t even read a post on here about him and I already know what’s being talked about. Good tough ball player -
With the draft over it is time for the udfa thread
gonzo1105 replied to scuba guy's topic in The Stadium Wall
He is undersized and ran incredibly slow. Apparently word was he was a bad interview too for a lot of teams. Loved him early on but not surprised he went UDFA -
There was word that Kenneth Grant has a weird personality but man he couldn't have gone to a better situation for weird personalities cause Mike McDaniel is a weird mfer After taking 3 DL, we are not getting any high level DL UDFA's to come here.
-
He also has never gone pee while on set apparently during the draft. I find that hard to believe with his old age unless he keeps a bottle under the table.
-
Nobody is picking up Bond until his situation is resolved not even as a UDFA imo
-
Can't say I love the Rams draft.
-
I mean I watch the whole thing every year so I might as impart my wisdom/annoyance on everyone while i'm at it on this board haha
-
Beane probably took him so he doesn't have to field 90 questions about not taking a WR with the media in 10 minutes.
-
WR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOO For the Board lol
-
Da'Quan Felton still out there if you want a WR we met with, I like Jackson Woodard from UCLA, obviously Dolac , Clay Webb Jacksonville State. I still like some DB's that would be hilarious.
-
Yea he realized about 4 rounds ago he made a mistake and should have stayed in college and got that couple of million. Now he's making damn near minimum and is a backup i'd be pissed too lol.
-
Of course you #######s the Chiefs
-
Yea I have been a big Smith fan, wouldn't mind Lequint Allen either but he didn't run a 40 so i'm less on board with him. They honestly could take another OL at 240 as well because you typically like to have a lot of bodies for training camp so you dont wear the big guys down.
-
Florida State was so bad last year they can't even get their two best players their kicker and punter drafted lol.
-
This is how you know you know you watch too much of the draft. They probably took Lundt because they liked him but they know they have no shot at getting him as an UDFA because of the depth on the Bills offensive line. UDFA's look at depth charts. This is why I don't expect a WR with the last pick because they want to have the pick of the litter of whats left now with the WR's. You can take a shot on a Restrepo or a Tez Johnson without an actual investment. I could see them taking something like a RB in the 7th round solely because no RB will sign here as a UDFA. Just wanted to say it before everyone throws up their arms at a position that looks already filled.
