I remember something about Dawkins (which was a minor incident) and the Bills stating they liked how he learned from it and where Dawkins head was at. So, with that and other players pointed out in this thread....the Bills will evaluate each player individually which IMO is a good way to do things!

He had issues with the Bills http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/11286652/nigel-bradham-buffalo-bills-suspended-one-game And they continued with the Eagles...

If so, I think we are not interested. I don't think they would be interested in anything over 6 million. Even 6 million would be steep. I think McD would likely target him around 5 million per which would be right in line with his production level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEpsYtown Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 (edited) I wouldn't love it. I really like Matt Milano as a WILL. I think this team needs a MIKE and a SAM. I really like the idea of Christian Jones as a SAM backer. He has been kind of miscast as a 3-4 ILB in Chicago. In a 4-3 Under the SAM is a two down player, but Jones played some DE at FSU. He'd effectively replace Lorax. Jones also has super long arms, which helps when lining up over the tight end. At the MIKE I think you go after Tahir Whitehead or Avery Williamson. You look to see if the Pats release Shea McClellin. I'd also be willing to take a flyer on Brian Cushing. Outside of that, I think you have to find your MIKE in the draft whether it's Evans or Vander Esch or whatever. Preston Brown should be gone.

MrEpsYtown Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Another under the radar guy is Brock Coyle. He is a small school guy from Montana who runs a 4.6. Was an UDFA who bounced around. He started his career with the Seahawks, and just had a really nice year for the 49ers. Gritty small school player? Seems like a good fit. I could see McDermott liking him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommonCents Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 He plays with attitude. The Bills could use some of that upfront. Easy decision for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloRush Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 He’s a sure fit in this defense but probably has just 2-3 (at most) of playing at a high MLB level. The move would not surprise me, but as some point you have to think McDermott wants a “Luke Kuechly” for his defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I mentioned Brock Coyle above, but all of his pro day number were comparable to Kuechly. I think he could be a sleeper, under teh radar guy for our defense. Here is Coyle's pro day: Pre-draft measurables Ht Wt Arm length Hand size 40-yard dash 10-yd split 20-yd split 20-ss 3-cone Vert jump Broad BP 6 ft 1 in (1.85 m) 235 lb (107 kg) 32.5 in (0.83 m) 9.38 in (0.24 m) 4.60 s 1.60 s 4.28 s 6.74 s 37.0 in (0.94 m) 9 ft 7 in (2.92 m) 25 rep Here is Kuechly's combine: Pre-draft measurables Ht Wt Arm length Hand size 40-yard dash 10-yd split 20-yd split 20-ss 3-cone Vert jump Broad BP Wonderlic 6 ft 3 in (1.91 m) 242 lb (110 kg) 31 in (0.79 m) 9 3⁄4 in (0.25 m) 4.58 s 1.63 s 4.12 s 6.92 s 38.1 in (0.97 m) 10 ft 3 in (3.12 m) 27 reps 34 Avery Williamson is going to be expensive, but were are his numbers: Pre-draft measurables Ht Wt Arm length Hand size 40-yard dash 10-yd split 20-yd split 20-ss 3-cone Vert jump Broad BP 6 ft 1 in (1.85 m) 246 lb (112 kg) 32 3⁄4 in (0.83 m) 9 1⁄2 in (0.24 m) 4.66 s 4.07 s 7.11 s 30 1⁄2 in (0.77 m) 10 ft 0 in (3.05 m) 25 reps All values from NFL Combine[5] I know athletic ability isn't everything, but I found it interesting that Coyle had such impressive numbers, and again had a really nice year for the Niners. He is now listed at 6-1, 245 so he got bigger. Coyle could be the under the radar Poyer-Hyde type of signing that no one sees coming.

Do you sign Bradham or someone else and then have a guy fall in the draft and not take him because you signed Bradham? I think you'd still look to draft him if you liked the player enough. The linebacker group needs as much help as it can get. Beyond Milano having a good rookie season and still being a bit green i don't see much on the roster.
