Why do i have to watch Brad Paisley on NFLN, if youre going to cover the draft, cover the draft. Save this crap for good morning football.
Yup for the first time this weekend I switched off NFL Network they gave up on the picks so ESPN came on.

As a Canadian I got to ask- Where do you value Kurtis Rourke?
I wonder if he goes undrafted. He had a lot of success at Indiana obviously but he wasn't a good thrower of the football when he was at Ohio where I saw him play a couple of times. At the same rate though I mean Riley Leonard went a round ago and he can't throw either.

Either my contacts don't work or NFL Network had him listed as QB
He was a QB in College but he has zero shot of being an NFL QB. Worked out at his pro day as a WR and will be a WR in the NFL

Now Cam Miller on the other hand is an actual QB and is a very interesting late round prospect as well.

I can’t believe how much money Quinn Ewers has made in college for a QB who hasn’t even been drafted yet.
Should have stayed for that last year and collected more of that NIL even if it wasn't at Texas

@gonzo1105 - your guys Mellott has gone!
Right around where I thought he'd go. Amazing athlete. Worth a shot this late but he would take a couple of years to be a WR. Could probably be a KR/PR in year one and have a package like a Taysom Hill in year 1 if a team wants him on the 53

Let me just say the questions to Beane and to T.J. Sanders were annoying as hell yesterday constantly asking about the weight and whether Sanders could play the 1T like they were trying to egg on Beane and the player in a nice way about the need for it.
I can only imagine what its going to be like when he gets up there about Day 3 after not taking a WR. I would have liked a WR too but it was clear that the Bills said we really struggled in these two areas of football last year and used the strength of the draft to attack those weaknesses.
.........And there goes my boy Tommy Mellott

My dude, it's pick two hunded and six. I simply can't wrap my head around throwing a multi post hissy fit over a glorified UDFA selection.
No one we're taking here is the kind of talent that you want to rely on for a roster spot. The WR's that are the Best Available are guys who are listed as Priority Free Agents on their Draft profile.
You'd prefer one of them over a veteran who is on the market now or may become available after the Draft? I don't.
Lundt has way way better feet than Luke Tenuta did and its not even close

One more pick then we get to decide who is going to be our next hall of famer in the UDFA process. -5000 odds on the favorite being a WR UDFA

Don't you guys think he can either beat out Van Demark or be similar to him (and thus more valuable due to his rookie contract) so Beane can deal RVD to a 5th round pick or so?
I mean the thought either has to be he can play some guard or he is in direct competition with RVD for that last spot.

I'm not going to hate on Lundt over Williams type debate. Lundt looks like a Spencer Brown clone like same body type and has pretty good feet for such a large guy.

Lundt was a Gunner sleeper. Mountain of a man I just don't know where the guy fits

To further my point on the possibility of Tommy Mellott as a WR I'm not joking. He's a developmental WR for sure and wont play immediately but the long term payoff could be large. FCS player of the year as a QB, Supposedly ran a 4.39 and jumped 41 inches in the vertical jump at his pro day. He is not a QB at the NFL level but I have seen him play and he's tough, durable, and is pretty good with the ball in his hands in the open field. I don't know if he can catch but he did do his pro day as a Wide Receiver prospect so NFL teams have seen him run routes and catch passes.
RAS Score Calculator as a WR is a 9.68

It’s so sad that this is where we’re at. Shavers the eternal PS king is still able to make out sorry WR corps. We have to be dead last if you looked at every teams WRs. Shakir is the only receiver who is consistent and would crap the top 3 of most other teams WR room
I mean if you think about it it kind of makes sense. The #5 WR has to be a guy who plays special teams more than being on the field as a WR and Shavers specialty is Special Teams.
Alright Boys, if you want a WR I have an intriguing option for you but your probably not going to like it haha. I would like for the Bills to select QB Tommy Mellotte from Montana State and convert him into a WR. If you dont at least know the player please watch him. Ran a 4.4 flat at his pro day and is the reigning FCS Player of the year.

I hope they still take a shot on an outside receiver. Andrew Armstrong from Arkansas who I featured in my sleepers thread is still there and Will Sheppard out of Colorado who was one of my Shrine Bowl standouts and who the Bills have met with.... neither of them are all that fast - 4.51 and 4.59 respectively.... but they are legit outside receivers you can at least allow to compete in camp.
They did meet with Sheppard so there is a possibility there. I also wonder if the Bills wont draft one this late now because they will be able to attract more of them in the UDFA market by having a legit open roster spot or if they promote Shavers to the active roster, which I think is a legit possibility at this point, opens up a practice squad position.

Don’t disagree but outside of Hairston, everyone is defensive depth. Does that really improve our D much? Will Hairston as a rookie really be a significant upgrade over Rasul? For all the resources dedicated on the DL, McDermott loves his rotation so it’s difficult for anyone to really dominate. If an injury happens at LB, our backups outside of Williams are a significant liability and the tandem of Rapp and Bishop leave a lot to be desired.
Really hope I’m wrong and the Bills truly crushed this draft but at this point it’s very much wait and see and hoping vs. expecting.
I mean Jackson, Sanders, and Walker are probably not going to be starter this year but all 3 of them are going to be a large part of the defensive line rotation which you already talked about. It also allows them to finally put their monetary resources next year into something else. With Bosa, Epenesa, Jones, being free agents those guys no longer will cost us the X amount of dollars it took to fill a spot because they took these 3 guys. The secondary might not play a ton but it protects the Bills if one of their starting CB's goes down which unfortunately has happened two years in a row vs the Chiefs. Benford both years and Douglas was playing on one leg in 2023. The Bills are banking on their upgraded Dline and secondary being stout to shut teams down that they haven't typically done in the past.

You know NFL defenses do exactly that.. right? It will be something like the field-side corner (covering the lone receiver) to play man coverage on the #1 receiver (the outermost receiver on the weak side) while the boundary-side corner and nickel back to play zone on the three-receiver side, splitting the field into quarters. The strong safety plays a deep half zone on the three-receiver side and the free safety to play a deep quarter zone on the field side, providing help over the top of the man coverage.
Its called Cover 6 and yes I know about it. It was mostly a joke to you. The guys they drafted with the exception of Hairston probably aren't going to be on the field this year but hopefully next year. Still their depth is going to be impeccable compared to last year in the secondary. It was clear when Benford went down they were sunk last year.

This draft is actually really really solid if you can handle the face that we have drafted solely defense and I'm not sure we're done. We might need to hit up a LB with these last two picks.

I think they will play more man, but I think they want the flexibility to play both more than one or the other. Also, there's a lot more mixed coverage getting used these days where the defense is playing zone in one place and man in another.
Yes I get what your saying but its not like they can be like hey Benford, Tre, and Taron get out there and play zone and Hairston, Strong, and Hancock get out there and play me some man.

Haha another DB. They are making over that room. Bye Dane Jackson, bye Cam Lewis, by JaMarcus Ingram. Another guy who plays..........Man Coverage. I think its certain boys and maybe gals we are now converting to being a man football team.

Yup.The only thing that makes sense is if they are planning on taking Dolac here. There is no QB like Sanders out there. That would be the story and they want to show Dolac getting picked locally.

Hmmm waiting on the Bills 177th pick and not putting it on the ticker on NFL Network. Always makes me think a little something is up.

2025 NFL Draft Thread : Rounds 4-7
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
I think it would be a cool story for sure and they do need another LB in the room to compete. I just wonder if they know he's going undrafted and know he will sign as an undrafted free agent. I watched a documentary awhile ago about draft prospects and one of them was a 7th round/udfa and he basically told the team that if you dont take me here in the 7th round i'm not signing with you and then the team signed him. Didn't end up turning out as anything . Just wish I could remember what it was called.
