Blokestradamus Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Watching some of Northwestern's Dan Vitale (their wonderfully named Superback) and another Romanesque project player came to mind; Derek Carrier. Carrier was a UDFA from Beloit in Wisconsin that wound up on the 49ers roster in his 2nd season. Carrier's pro day numbers - 6' 3", 238lbs, 4.50 40 time, 15 reps @ 225, 38" vertical, 122" broad jump, 4.08 SS, 6.65 3-cone. Vitale's Combine numbers - 6' 1", 239lbs, 4.60 40 time, 30 reps @ 225, 38 1/2" vertical, 123" broad jump, 4.12 SS, 7.12 3-cone. With the obvious discrepancy between the 3-cone numbers and the bench reps, there's a lot of similar athletic traits. If Roman has a type, Vitale might be it.

YoloinOhio Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I have him going to LA in round 2 right now. his hometown... He would love that. I've heard he's the #1 WR on the Browns board, they could take him at 32. I think top of the 2nd, maybe bottom of the 1st is his range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 @JoeBuscaglia Ole Miss WR Laquon Treadwell is fun in theory, but would the #Bills actually pick him at 19? I cast my vote: https://t.co/4ivBIZYOlZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 @SiriusXMNFL Fmr. Auburn WR Duke Williams on being dismissed from school: "It hit me hard, but I couldn't cry. I knew I had to get back to work." Williams: "I had to own up to my mistakes. I don't fault the school. I went to counseling to learn how to correct my mistakes." Williams: "I was so loyal to the wrong people. I am big on loyalty. If they can't provide for me, I can't provide for them." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 German talent is coming to the NFL draft in 2016 Moritz Boehringer, a 6-foot-4, 227-pound WR who ran a 4.45 40-yard dash for scouts, has visits scheduled with NFL teams. The challenge is deciding what to make of German Football League tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 German talent is coming to the NFL draft in 2016 On Friday, Boehringer held another workout and this time the Buffalo Bills were in attendance.

If hes there in the 5th I think he would be a great pick but I'm worried he wont be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If hes there in the 5th I think he would be a great pick but I'm worried he wont be there. Only one WR ever had Boeringer's triangle numbers of 6'4, 225+, and sub 4.4 - Calvin Johnson. In a weak WR class and a passing league, someone will draft Boeringer early- day 2 I am guessing. There is a snowball's chance in hell he lasts until the 5th IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not entirely sure he's a great Bills fit but, if he's not facing any stiff punishments, can't argue with picking up a talented guy on Day 3. I'm beyond frustrated with these talented kids not having an ounce of damn sense. As a guy who lost his sporting career through injury, I'd love the chances they seem hellbent on throwing away.

One thing that drives me nutso, is the support system missing in these kids. I know it is not the colleges responsibility, nor the Coaches. But.....

I know it is not the colleges responsibility, nor the Coaches. But..... Someone that claims to have been at the bar on Saturday night with Higbee is making claims that it was a racially-motivated attack on a Muslim man. Obviously, take it with a huge grain of salt at this point. Information from legitimate sources is at the bare minimum thus far.

Eh, it's bad enough that he did not have enough self discipline to keep it level before the draft. When kids do this every year, i just feel disappointed for them .

When kids do this every year, i just feel disappointed for them . It's about being smart. In 3 weeks time, you get a 6 figure signing bonus and guaranteed money. I could pass on a night out with the lads for that. I wasn't perfect at that age. I'm 27 now and I'm still a bit of a screw-up. You just hope that it's a one-off they can learn from and not a sign of things to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
