Let's not go overboard.

 

QBs faced:

 

McCown - Was Benched till Darnold injury

Bortles - Benched

Tannehill - Straight Trash

 

It would be nice if he plays well the next 4 games then we can move CB2 down the list of needs.

Also it is nice to see a staff actually develop players including PS guys. It’s nice to see players move from PS to the active roster and have success. Interested to see how Love plays.

Actually he is happy if not 1st round selection.

 

Thank you, and you are correct.

 

I would even want them in the first round if we could block and catch passes.

I’m pretty sure that isn’t accurate.  If you have been around here a while, you will know how Bill feels about CB’s

Actually I did post here several times about Wallace and was thrilled that we added him to the Bills.

 

I mentioned how Calvin Ridley heaped huge praise upon Levi, and he practiced against him every day for quite some time.

And before this season here I am slamming Alabama's players as being overrated and generally failing in the NFL (mostly true) because the system is more of the strength than the individual players.

 

Right now Foster is one of the best deep threats in the league, and if Wallace pans out it might take some pressure off Beane to draft a corner high.  Taron and Levi could both be excellent long term pieces here.   Would be huge.

I'm not sure he is there yet. He is really really fast, but his hands are still made of stone. Hopefully he gets over that though. I'm also not ready to pump up Levi because there is barely any data to go off of. Just because they didn't throw his way doesn't mean he is playing lock down. It could just mean that there are holes all over the defense.

As long as Levi doesn't have to tackle anyone, he's fine.

 

He shows almost as much desire against the run as Gilmore, and not quite as much as Deion Sanders

To me its not about his willingness to tackle......I think he does it is that he simply is not strong enough yet.

 

This can be fixed...he needs an offseason of strength training

Maybe he and Edmunds can go to weight room together!

Dying to find out what you think Edmunds problem is. Lack of heart? 

He is hesitating and relying on his athletism too much instead of being aggressive.

 

I dont think it is lack of heart so much as just being young and still learning the position....is he still a rookie and in the end....might be a outside linebacker instead of a inside one.....

 

I still think he is going to be a quality NFL player

Well that’s one way to look at it. I think he’s too tall and skinny to play MLB at this level. He looks like a kid being slammed by big waves at beach. Wave after wave.

Say what you all want about Beane and McDermott. They have brought in a lot of great young talent

 

...on defense.  Jury's still out on offense, let's hope they score like they did with Dawkins and Foster.  I think we have about a 66% chance of hitting on Allen too.

I like Wallace, a great signing. I hope he puts on some weight and gets stronger in the offseason. But we still need to add another legit CB to this roster. 

 

They have 3 really good ones. More would be nice but I wouldn’t spend a high pick on one.
