BuffaloHokie13 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Am I the only one that wants us to put Glenn Gronk in at LB to cover Rob Gronk? You know he'll be able to get under Rob's skin by jawing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSBill Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Eric Striker's speech to his family after he went Undrafted Aired live on ESPN and my house is ahem, a little dusty  http://m.newsok.com/article/5495260  Just who just became the #1 fan favorite in Buffalo? How can you not want this -kid MAN to be successful? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 @christrapasso Zimmer had 81 tckls, 26 TFLs, 13 scks, 5 pass deflections & 4 FFs in 2015. He's definitely my pick for the UDFA to make the #Bills roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mead107 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 How many will make the team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrobot Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 O C Robert Kugler: Described as a "Lunch-Pail Center". I like him already. Needs NFL weight room but lateral quicks to pull, vital for G-Roman 29m29 minutes ago #Bills sign Purdue OC Rob Kugler, 6-3, 294, 2x team capt, ex-Bills coach Sean's son, 43 consecutive games, played TE, pulls well. Good sign. I've been tweeting about this signing. He's likely to end up on the PS, but he's a nice addition to the G-Ro Offense. You likely remember the name as Sean Kugler used to coach here, Lockport native now head coach of UTEP. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 (edited) How many will make the team? Â If more than one, maybe two make the roster it's considered a surprise. I routinely get a kick out of the hype, however. The legend of Da'Rick Rogers, for example. Edited May 1, 2016 by eball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I'd say at best 2 will make the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Striker is the guy I'm most intrigued by. Athletic guy who goes full effort 100% of the time and was very productive at a major college. Only knock is his size. Could be a demon on ST and a situational pass rusher, and they could try converting him to safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM57 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I'm guessing maybe two. Striker probably has a role as a STer and coverage LB/box safety hybrid. That DL has some freakish workout numbers, but dspending how raw he is, might be a better PS candidate. Baby Gronk would have to do a TON to unseat Felton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrobot Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 UB QB Joe Licata's best traits are football IQ and composure under duress. Impressed #Bills enough to sign him UDFA.

RobRyanFan Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I'd say 2. Glenn Gronk and Eric Striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UB never had a great O-line and protection would break down constantly. But Joe was cool as sh!t in that pocket and sometimes made some great throws. May not have an NFL arm but he's ice in the pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebandit27 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Striker and Zimmer will make this roster. Â Striker has pass rush skills and is a plus athlete; he can also play special teams. Â Zimmer is a MONSTER. Built low to the ground, country-strong, and good lateral quickness. Not sure why he went undrafted.
