Wonder what round the Bills think he is worth

 

 

 

CBF

good question but they seem to keep a good read on the Clemson guys, with Rexs son on the team. The word is he has 1st rd talent but a bit of a checkered career. He was very good at LT for them last year.

I'd stick a 4th round claimer on him is he is as good as they say. No higher.

 

That seems about right. Usually guys go a round or two less than they are generally regarded. Although, of course, we fans don't know how high these guys are actually regarded by the real scouts and GMs.

If the Bills do select him, it could eventually be curtains for Henderson in Buffalo.

Or Glenn. Or one of the backups. Or he transitions to guard and one of them gets cut. Or he sucks and gets cut. Guess it's pretty wide open.

6-7 but only 280 pounds? Might need some more muscle on his frame.

In comparison, Cordy was 2 inches shorted but 68 lbs heavier in college if the information is right.

A different site has Battle at 6-7, 290 pounds. Still lanky for a OT.

Sorry CB - missed your earlier link. Weird how different sites disagree so much about his weight.

 

If this rating is valid, it's very interesting. OT is a position of need for the Bills and look who declares for the supplemental - one of the top OTs in the country! Whaley and his guys must be studying game tape right now.

No problem at all. Does anyone know the rules for private workouts/team visits prior to the supplemental draft?

You should be more serious about rules. they are created for good reason. That was before my time. and i dont make them.

but we should adhere to them.

 

unless its inconvenient.

 

Then you dont have to.

but they certainly are not meant to be funny or have an negative odorous affect. i will gather a panel and then judge over it.

exactly. Can't have too much talent. You never know what happens. Hopefully they all play lights-out, and we have injury insurance and don't have to break the bank on Glenn.

Daniel jeremiah -

 

@MoveTheSticks: Studied Clemson OT Isaiah Battle. Ideal size (6'6 1/2 326) & length (35 1/4 inch arms). Quick feet & flashes power but plays too high/narrow

sounds like a technique issue. something that can be coached.

when is the supplemental draft?

Here he is in pass protection (#79):

I'm pretty impressed with that game tape. Doesn't get off the snap quickly, but assuming because he doesn't really care or have to work hard. Good feet, delivers good blows. SC at times didn't even line a player up over him. To me, that's a sign of respect. Maybe I'll have to look at a few more game tapes. Is there a game where he went against a top DE?
