Reed83HOF Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 (edited) I also saw yesterday that Fant was an unannounced visit and he is not on this list so he would be #30. No Hock visit ^^This seems to be incorrect on my part. I couldn't fully remember, but that is what I thought I saw LOL Edited April 25, 2019 by Reed83HOF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Yea they have had Fant in so that is the list. Still think depending on Sweat's health we are between him, Burns and DK. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They went to Iowa to work him out. 8 minutes ago, Reed83HOF said: I also saw yesterday that Fant was an unannounced visit and he is not on this list so he would be #30.

BuffaloBillies Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 By NOT have TJ in for a visit, is that a clear sign that they are very unlikely to pick him in 1st round and didn't want to waste their time with him? OR... is there a gamesmanship component where you don't want other teams to know who you might be targeting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you end up with 29, the guess would be the missing one would be him - which still applies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: I just found the link and he did score a 25...actually higher than Hock at 22! I wonder why teams don't like him...

TOboy Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Strikes me as interesting how few DT's they brought in. Many of us (myself included) feel we'd be thrilled to pick up Williams or Oliver, or any top 3 technique. Does this mean they aren't so set on adding a DT? Or does this mean they are all in on one of those top 2 guys? Or am I just trying to read into something because it's the day of the draft and I can't wait any longer...

Makes me feel like we are big game hunting if the value is right and we find a partner to move up. What's surprising is we don't have Jonah,Dillard or Wilkins on that list and lately we have been linked to them. There isn't enough history with Beane to know if no visit means no pick in RD1 or not, we only have 1 draft to look back at.

I can see the Giants wanting to drop a few spots and get their QB Haskins, Lock. We trade a 2nd and a 3rd next year. 1. Kyler Murray 2. Nick Bosa 3. Quinnen Williams 4. Ed Oliver 5. Devin White 6. Josh Allen (Buffalo Bills) That would be nice! Then find a DT late 1st or 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne Cubed Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I know people love Hockenson but the Bills only sent one scout to his Iowa game, and he fumbled that game. Fant got a private workout and Sternberger, Knox and Wesco all got 30 visits. Now it's possible Hockenson is that 30th visit, I'm just not sure. Anyways, I think people will be surprised when Hockeson doesn't go top 10, I think he'll go in the teens, like Oj Howard. Howard was also suppose to be a top 10 pick and some had him going as high as 4 to Jacksonville in 2017. And like Hockenson, Oj Howard was said to be the "safe pick" and the best TE prospect in the last 10 years etc. We will know soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
