JESSEFEFFER Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 (edited) Not a normal source of NFL talent but I really like David Montgomery and Hakeem Butler of ISU. Montgomery's style is the type I prefer as he constantly beats would be tacklers with quick cuts and outstanding power. He is nearly 220 lbs., his comp is Kareem Hunt and he might be an early 3rd round option. He was credited with over 100 broken tackles last year and is a chain moving, tackle breaking, bowling ball of a runner. David Montgomery Hakeem Butler is the biggest of the big WRs in this draft with just under a 7ft. wingspan and that's the body type missing from their WR group. The comps I've read on him are Brandon Marshall and Plaxico Burress. He's very good at using his size and reach advantage to adjust to poorly located throws and then transitioning to RAC yardage as he averaged 20+ ypc. Drops are an issue and may be more so as ISU QB seems to favor soft tosses down field, but he represents a win above the rim pass catcher and big play threat. He could be available early in the 2nd. Hakeem Butler One or both these guys would upgrade the skill positions for this offense for the next 4 or more years, imo. And it is fairly unlikley that my favorite WR and RB in this draft for the Bills roster would be from the same school and one like Iowa State at that.

CaptnCoke11 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Montgomery more appealing to me than the WR. I don’t think Beane will address WR until day 3 on a developmental guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DallasMac Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 I like Butler a lot but the drops are worrisome. Especially with the way Allen throws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't help but read this and immediately recall Travis Henry, our former "bowling ball of butcher knives." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JESSEFEFFER Posted April 8, 2019 Author Share Posted April 8, 2019 Travis was a very good player but was maybe the most ill-prepared for adulthood of any Bill of which I can think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he’s got 13 adults now.. Can’t imagine they’re prepared either.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a very good compilation of what he can do to beat defenders. Whether the Bills get him or not, I'll keep tabs on his career much like I do James Conner.
