NewEra Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 how about TJ Watt in the 2nd, is he a DE or OLB at the next level? Wish I could chime in on this one. Watt is one of the players I've looked at the least in this years draft. Looks like a LB for sure, just not sure which position. He's a bit tall for OLB in a 4-3 but if his athleticism matches up, might be a good fit. Blokes or Bandit care to chime in? Mocks are showing him going before our 2nd rd pick but who knows what can happen on draft day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 (edited) who ever does shy away from him, will lose out. he is nfl ready and comes from a program that was the best defense in the country. personally, I believe it will be a non issue? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lg4Faukmn1o Edited March 4, 2017 by DaBillsFanSince1973 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddo Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 From articles I've read in the past, it seems as though the very worst part of the combine, for the guys involved, is all the medical assessments, which apparently do take pretty much most of the day to complete, including large amounts of time, spent waiting to be seen, by the next person who is going to poke and prod you about. It's probably more of a surprise that something like this hasn't occurred before, in some respects. That isn't to condone it, merely to put some perspective on it. I find it somewhat amusing tbh, as it could be said that it's a salutary lesson, in what life could be like in the big, wide world, where not everybody gives a darn if you can play football, or not. While I know nothing about the kid, he is probably going to end up being a stud in the NFL, from all accounts, but you are going to have to get some serious psycho-evaluations done on him, to decide if, or how, you need to handle him. Might just be a classic case of getting to a TC, and a vet sticks him on his butt, with a 'welcome to the NFL' sticker attached, or he might be a Burfict type nutter.

Rolando McClain? Alabama LBs are hard to rate because they play behind great d lines and get to run free. If anyone's stock rose today, it's the hospital employee. Do it!

DriveFor1Outta5 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 So the NFL sends guys to the hospital? They can't afford to have doctors come to the combine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purple haze Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 So the NFL sends guys to the hospital? They can't afford to have doctors come to the combine? Of course. But they aren't just seeing a doctor. They get tests, such as MRI's and other things. Does it make sense to bring all of that equipment and doctors to a stadium or hotel? No reason to not send them to the hospital. Everything is already there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More douchey than 'roid ragey but still not a great look. What a POS. I hate people like this. He's the same kind of a--hole who ends up screaming at airline employees when a flight is delayed.

Let's not make Foster into Rae Carruth just yet.22 year old kid making a mistake, no big deal. The surprise would have been if the hospital worker replied "you're the Butkus award winning first team all American who won the national championship two years ago" Of course this kid has an ego, I would be worried if he didn't.

That's the important thing to remember - this is just one mistake. It's not like others that show a pattern of behavioural issues. It's a stupid thing for Reuben to do. This is THE job interview, it's a 4-day ordeal, you're getting stressed a lot physically and mentally. You can't snap because the microscope is on you. If he suffers consequences from this, it's his own fault. Not putting me off from taking him at 10 though, unless more details emerge than have currently done so.

I agree with your point but there have been some good players that have come out of alabama. based on your handle, you're aware of that.

cd1 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 So he's a young man who thinks he's entitled to anything&everything. ..sounds about par for today's youth.That don't diminish his skills tho,and shouldn't drop him out of a top 15 pick. I don't know why,but I always saw Ray Lewis in the same light. Confidence, or entitlement? Either way,he plays angry. A shot of attitude might go a long way on this roster,imo Playing with a lot of heart is one thing playing angry is NOT playing smart. I relish the days when the Bills play without flags on EVERY play. A player with talent does not need to be angry to succeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have him playing outside or inside in this scheme? I'm having a hard time fitting anyone in right now, Davis and Kuechly were just too damn good.

I don't care if this guy is high character or not. The Bills just spent 3 picks last year on linebacker. If we spend a top ten pick on linebacker he better be a top 2 in the NFL at his position because you can find linebackers later in the draft.
