BringBackFergy Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Not confident Byrd is staying for next year?? Maybe they are looking at next Spring trade for picks?? Maybe Pettine is gonna play 3 safeties? Who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screwball Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 (edited) From Detroit Lions website: http://www.detroitli...b4-5c9e49b4adb0 “I definitely feel disrespected and that’s going to show when I get somewhere,” Meeks told Detroitlions.com. “Wherever I end up, they’re going to get as steal, whoever gets me." Meeks, who was not invited to the combine, measured 6-foot and 215 pounds at his Pro Day and ran the 40 in 4.5. He’s considered a raw strong safety prospect, who’ll need some time to develop with the right scheme, but he’s certainly motivated to prove the draft analysts wrong.

NoSaint Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 6' 200 lbs strong safety... 4.5 speed After dabo Sweeney got around buffalo last year it's possible they had some personal info on this kid. We knew safety would be important and if we hit on one of them it'd be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Cubed Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 (edited) This has absolutely nothing to do with Byrd. It's a 5th round player. It's depth and a special teams player. The Bills cut their 5th round pick last year... Edited April 27, 2013 by Wayne Cubed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackFergy Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Swope was there...understandably we have multiple WR's, but might as well add one more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Heavy hitter awful in coverage Think Landry, for play style I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KOKBILLS Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 (edited) I know of Meeks...He's from Rock Hill SC...Home of Jeff Burris and Stephon Gilmore...I lived 20 mins away in Charlotte for 20 years... Unfortunately, knowing of him makes this pick an even bigger mystery to me...He may factor well in ST's coverage...He's a very good athlete with good size...May be a player that Pettine feels can develop well with good coaching...He's going to need a lot of work though...Just not an instinctive College Safety at all...But tons of raw tools to work with...

Kelly the Dog Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Both of the safeties drafted are big hitters and SS types. He's a project, and Pettine likes to play three safeties. This should not at all be seen as having anything to do with Byrd staying or going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screwball Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 (edited) Buffalo News Blog: http://blogs.buffalo...s-not-invi.html Position: Safety School: Clemson Measurables: 6-foot-1, 209 pounds Combine numbers: Was not invited 2012 stats: 62 tackles, two interceptions, five pass breakups Draft projection: Undrafted free agent … Ran a reported 4.55-second 40-yard dash at Clemson’s pro day in March, and put up 23 repetitions on the 225-pound bench press. He also had a broad jump of 9 feet, 7 inches, a vertical of 33.5 inches and a 20-yard shuttle time of 4.72 seconds. … Considered a raw prospect who has a tendency to make too many mental errors.

Lurker Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 (edited) Curious they thought this was the place to pick Meeks. His bio reads like an UDFA.... Edited April 27, 2013 by Lurker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Special teams guy at this point...needs work on his tackling ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldTimer1960 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 He was a pre-draft visitor of the Bills. Big and strong (23 reps at 225), 4.55 (est), 33" vert. Apparently pretty smart as he graduated in December, which is saying something when playing major college football. Likely seen as a possible special teams contributor.
