Doc Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 gilmore is 6 foot 190. Could have a nice opportunity to trade gilmore after the year if this kid pans out. could get a nice first for him. Highly doubtful. They'd have to franchise him and teams rarely trade for franchised guys. Especially ones who have never made a Pro Bowl, much less All-Pro (which may change this year, who knows?). Height: 5' 11" Weight: 186 Arm Length: 30¾" Hand Size: 9" 10 Yard Dash: 1.55 40 Yard Dash: 4.39 Bench Press: 12 Vertical Jump: 35" Broad Jump: 124" 20 Yard Shuttle: 4.18 View all prospects from the 2016 draft class He's 5'11-1/2".

3rdand12 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 his technique had to be perfect to compensate for his eyesight I think this comes into play honestly. gilmore is 6 foot 190. Could have a nice opportunity to trade gilmore after the year if this kid pans out. could get a nice first for him. stop that I also read today the 170 report. forget whom. I am delighted about the DBs as a whole. We have at least 3 guys at safety who can play corner, and two of them actually started their careers there. A Williams sucked but he know the position, and Graham was decent till age caught him. Blanton has played every position. The knowledge base is what sets these guys apart i think. some posted Robey's 15 stats. Very off year for him. New system again ? I expect he will regain some footing this year. pun intended. Best thing Bills have going is they can match up man for man against Offenses. I think thats is some leverage for a good Coach. And yes i said that : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I'm not going to say it every time that Seymour is mentioned but I did call him winning the nickel job from Robey the moment we drafted him. He wasn't a player that I had broken down pre-draft but he was one of my sleepers having seen USC a couple of times last year and he having caught my eye both games. I have been impressed by his boundary work but for me we need to have our best 3 corners on the field in nickel and if that means Gilmore, Darby and Seymour then I think Seymour probably plays inside, though I respect Bandit's view that he'd shift Darby in. I think there might be a case for that in match up specific scenarios. Against New England, Darby in the slot on Edelman sounds good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 gilmore is 6 foot 190. Could have a nice opportunity to trade gilmore after the year if this kid pans out. could get a nice first for him. Why in the world would we do that? You have an opportunity to have THREE very good corners.....which is a really really nice thing to have....that means that when opponents go 3 or 4 wide......when they try to pick on your 3rd corner he makes you pay for it That can be the difference in willing and losing games.....as much as I like NR.....think of how many times teams put a receiver with size in his area and he lost because he frankly wasnt long enough..... He solves this problem. What I find kind of funny is Whaley got trashed with his "three starters out of this draft" thing before injuries.....but the latter round picks of Williams and and this kid makes it almost legit. Could you imagine if NOBODY ended up getting hurt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddenboy Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I don't think u lose or gain vs run betw he and Robey. Check the site I did a video breakdown but I am not allowed to post it. U will love it. The video on the site is very well done. I like how you describe what we are seeing, then show it, then roll it a 2nd time. Slo-mo really helps too. I had forgotten you were "dot net" until google helped me out. And the kid does look very very well trained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you imagine if NOBODY ended up getting hurt? because we would lose him for nothing the following year. i'm assuming darby plays high level this year and next thus getting a big deal starting in 2 years. if seymour becomes the next darby we can possibly grab a 1st for gilmore if he has a shut down year. i know trades are pretty rare in the nfl but perhaps it can be done. we could draft a replacement with the first or sign a FA who could fill the 3rd cb spot...maybe a 5 mil per guy. I'm just trying to to play a little asset management and cap management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not a diss you just adding my thoughts....I think that when you have top talent instead of trying to figure out how to parlay it into another talented player you actually KEEP those players....and continue to draft well That is actually what this is all about......Gilmore and Darby are players we drafted.....now we drafted another young talented kid...pay your own talented players that you spent all the time cultivating. Also Injuries....players get hurt/nicked up.....if our top CB talent suffers a hit wouldnt it be nice to have a talented guy in the bullpen ready to go? That depth thing.....hard to do...wonderful when you have it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwhit34 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I am hoping that he ends up replacing Robey-Coleman. Bigger, can handle the taller WRs. Robey-Coleman is a nice story but his height is a limiting factor, Seymour is better player in long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slo-mo really helps too. I had forgotten you were "dot net" until google helped me out. And the kid does look very very well trained. Thanks! I wanted to put out there details that we as fans take for granted. Every portion of the game is broken down into drills. Then the players r the ones to put it all together on the field..

purple haze Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 When I re-watched that game I texted my sons saying how great he looked. And on the very next play he got called for PI. I feel responsible for that. My bad.... It was an iffy call. He was looking back for the rock. Incidental contact for my money. I wouldn't have thrown the flag. All that said, not your fault. We are really good at drafting dbs and have been for a long lite.Anyone watch the Eagles Steelers last nite.Ron Brooks and Ross Cockrel are both starters for the steelers and Leodis Mcalvin is starting for the Eagles all players we got rid of.... Arthur Moats and Dustin what's his name our practice squad qb was playing..also the Eagles have Jason Peters and I think another ex bill player was playing in that game Jon Dorenbos, long snapper for the Eagles.

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I am hoping that he ends up replacing Robey-Coleman. Bigger, can handle the taller WRs. Robey-Coleman is a nice story but his height is a limiting factor, Seymour is better player in long run. RC is a playmaker and does as good a job as any on the Edelmens of the league.

I agree it would be amazing to see nobody throw at all on us...I mean we could set records if these guys are healthy and play well.

It's about $22M right now, and since neither Darby not Seymour are eligible for new deals until 2018, and at least one of Aaron and Corey will be gone next year, I can't envision $30M being in the picture even if they signed a FA to start at safety Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDIGGZ Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Corey White and Kevon Seymour look good. I think this will make it easier to let Gilmore walk. No way we pay him 15 mil per + Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
