Why should you be punished for something you did when you were 15, and already paid a price? I think that was Simmons. But yes the NFL is full of it. Fergusons ban is even dumber. A simple battery at a McDonalds or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffaloboyinATL Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 I am really hoping WR Keelan Doss shows up on this list. He is a perfect fit for the Bills and this coaching staff in my opinion. He got injured benching at the combine which has helped keep him off the radar, but I would LOVE it if we could get him in the 4th round or so...

But the Bills don’t really benefit from telling anyone so its sporadic finding them out. Definitely. Totally opposite of when Whaley was here. I remember he was on WGR talking about who they'd met with and who was still coming in. I mean, I guess it's not bad if word leaks out about who you're visiting with but as you said, they don't really gain anything by it so why not just keep it all in-house. Also opposite of Whaley is how often this front office meets with/drafts small school prospects. Whaley was always drafting from Clemson, Bama, etc. because he figured those players were so accustomed to winning that it would carry over to the Bills. And so far McBeane has visited with players from Louisiana Tech, Eastern Michigan, Houston, and Charlotte. If you can play, they'll find you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with that. The only one that drafted last year who they brought in for a visit was Allen. But they brought in 2 1st round LB - Roquan Smith and Vander Esch. So even though it was obvious they were taking a QB first, they clearly were targeting a LB high too and got one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there any TE's 1st worthy in your opinion (I generally think there are not, this year seems different). Who would you target for TE? On the other hand, watch Kroft bust out.

He will go in the 1st. I would not take him, or any of the TEs in this draft, higher than the 2nd. Since I expect Hock to be gone by the 2nd, I would take Irv Smith in the 2nd or Sternberger in the 3rd. I would take Fant in the 3rd but he won’t be there. I think it’s very tough to project a rookie TE to immediately produce. They typically don’t come in and start and produce at a high level as rookies.

I didnt look look at their visits from 2017 & 2018, but how many of those guys that visited were actually drafted by McDermott (2017) and McBeane (2018)? Generally, their first round pick is going to be a guy they've met and talked with several times. I can't recall for sure but I believe they met with Tre' White at the Senior Bowl, Combine, Pro Day and then had him in for one of their 30 visits. Same with Dawkins that year, I think. In 2018, they had obviously scouted and met with all of the top QBs and came away liking Allen the most. Sometimes a pre-draft visit means they just haven't had the chance to learn more about the player until then. Maybe they missed out on meeting with a player at the Combine or his Pro Day or whatever so the visit gives them a chance to see what a certain player is all about. But in general, if they made a visit, there's a strong likelihood that those 30 players are under serious consideration to be picked. When Whaley was GM almost all of his picks had pre-draft visits. The only one that stood out that didn't visit was Kiko Alonso and that was because they were trying to hide their interest in him. That happens sometimes, too.
