Sheesh, the Bills are turning over the rocks on the WR. Davonte Allen and Gary Chambers don't even seem to be listed on NFL Draft Tracker site.

Ed Eagan is there, sounds like a potential KR/PR prospect.

 

Here's some gouge on Allen and Chambers.

 

Davonte Allen, WR, Marshall

One of the best big-play receivers to suit up for Marshall since Randy Moss, Allen (6-2, 200) averaged 24.7 yards per catch in 2014. He missed four games with a collarbone injury, so he managed just 22 catches on the year (for 544 yards!) with four scores. But his ability to track the ball and win 50/50 situations with strong hands makes him an intriguing prospect.

 

Gary Chambers, WR, ASU

Team biography

  • Ranked fourth on the team in receiving yards and led the Devils with 18.7 yards per reception, good for second in the Pac-12

Adams to Seattle makes a ton of sense. They can clone their offense for him - the blocking angles and passing windows can remain exactly as-is, since he's the same height as RW. Plus they let Tavares Jackson go. It's a good fit.

He doesn't have a prayer. They signed Trevon Boykin as an UDFA, and Adams isn't even signed; he just gets a tryout. Edited by mannc

Wow. Zimmer looks like a monster. I will be keeping an eye on this kid FOR SURE.

 

Eric Striker I like a lot. I think he would be a perfect hybrid type player for Rex at the ILB position.

 

Also liking Devonte Allen and Gronk.

 

Heard that kicker has a leg.

As a side note to the rookie UDFAs we are bringing in, I noticed that one of our UDFAs from last year, WR Andre davis, was cut yesterday by Tampa. I thought he had a good camp and preseason last year and would like to see them bring him back.

Anybody want to put any comparison's on the talent levels of the two gronk brothers?

They aren't even close , short slow low football instincts , only possibility to make the team is if he beats out Felton and that won't happen. If he wasn't Baby Gronk no one would have even taken him as a UDFA.

I am a vernon adams fan myself.....think he would have an easier rode to travel here

 

The kid either got bad advice or he isn't listening to his advisor(s). An UDFA contract is virtually nothing to a team and I have no doubt some team would have offered him one to be a QB. Why he would choose to go to a tryout for a team with a QB who will likely be there for the next decade versus the Bills who run a similar system but don't have an entrenched starter (yet) is curious. But again, I can only surmise that he's content to just be a backup.

 

As for the UDFA's, Zimmer, Striker, and Lumpkin sound intriguing. The rest, not so much. Even Baby Gronk.
