Senior Bowl participant Deon Yelder, a player we noted last October as a Riser, finally got his opportunity to work out for scouts and looked good.

 

Yelder measured 6032 and 255 pounds, touched 33.5 inches in the vertical jump and 10-foot in the broad jump and ran 40s which timed as low as 4.72. He looked good in position drills, ran solid routes and caught the ball well.

 

Yelder met with Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter as well as theMinnesota Vikings, Buffalo Bills and Washington Redskins. His list of official predraft visits include the Kansas City Chiefs and Tennessee Titans.

I can't access Astro's file here at the office, but, if it hasn't been mentioned in this thread yet, Walter Football is showing that Roquan Smith had (or is going to have) a private visit with the Bills.

Would have to believe that Smith would be their target at 12, if they can't get a deal to move up to the top 5 or the 7 spot.

Leighton Vander Esch stood on his combine numbers but looked tremendous in position drills. He was fluid and explosive and once again showed no stiffness moving around the field.  For Vander Esch, today’s position drills were the perfect complement to his knockout testing at the combine.

 

He’ll be a busy man the next week, as Vander Esch boarded a plane for Texas after the workout and is making an official visit to see the Dallas Cowboys tomorrow. The Arizona Cardinals, Pittsburgh Steelers, Tennessee Titans, Detroit Lions and Buffalo Bills round out the linebacker's official visits over the next week.

Sources have told NYup.com that the Bills will hold a private workout with Arkansas center Frank Ragnow on Friday. The sources added that Ragnow had dinner with offensive line coach Juan Castillo on Thursday night.

 

Buffalo has shown prior interest in Ragnow. At the NFL Scouting Combine, the Bills had a formal workout scheduled with the center.

 

Ragnow was a three-year starter with the Razorbacks. Per his bio with the Razorbacks, Ragnow played 2,603 snaps in four-seasons without allowing a sack.

When I see names like that it makes me think they don't believe they can trade up. When we see Darnold or Allen visiting then get excited because then they know they have a shot at them in the top 5

 

Rosen and Mayfield are already scheduled to visit the Bills at OBD.

Yes I think Rosen already may have. I think those are players that have a shot at falling out of the top 5. I think Darnold and Allen are the 2 top guys right now so when I see them visiting I will get excited

I just think it's plan B just in case.

I wouldn't get your hopes up. I think they are going to wait to see if Rosen or Mayfield fall a bit then trade up. I think they are also fine with taking Rudolph at 22.
