Former Browns' DE Nate Orchard Visited the Bills - Was Not Signed

He's the guy who came clean up the middle on the Josh Allen TD throw to Streater in week preseason 2 against CLE.  Allen also got away from him after he beat Jordan Mills cleanly for a would be sack.  In preseason week 4 Orchard had a pick six against the Lions.

Different regime but he was here in 2015 on a pre-draft visit and I recall hearing that they had him targeted in round three but the Brownies took him in the second. 

 

Could be a solid rotational player. 

Upgrade from Deon Lacey for sure, and take his number too.

Seems like a 3-4 OLB fit to me.  Similar to Loraxs skill set.  Pass rushing with some ability to play the SAM, but probably not good enough in coverage to make that work in the 4-3.  4-3 Pass rushing specialist probably his best fit

He made our O Line look bad, so for that reason alone i say bring him in.

It also could just be that our O Line is bad lol

But at this point I'd be bringing in everyone & anyone i could to see if we could upgrade an area of need. As long as it doesnt hurt our cap situation, send out the wagons & bring em on home!

They like Lacey for special teams and his coverage ability. Haven't read up on Orchard recently but I think if he comes here he can be a versatile piece and we know McBeane love them that versatility. Orchard can play on the edge as well as some SAM. We'll see what they think of him by the end of the day.

Who hasn't beaten Jordan Mills cleanly?

He and his family were featured a good bit on Hard Knocks.

 

He's a total family man and has some cute daughters and a nice wife.

 

I can see him totally being a McBeane kind of guy as he is mature and settled in life and is not going to get in trouble.

Personally I'd bring him in.  Maybe he could spell Lorenzo Alexander's old ass once in a while.  He can play with his hand in the dirt and upright.  Definitely would be a youthful positional upgrade if he could take over for Lorax in a year

Exact Lorax mold... passing downs rush end and can be effective

Yeah I like that idea. Put him at SAM and let him rush the passer.
