Punching Bag Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 1 hour ago, CommonCents said: That’s my one problem with the draft. Why draft Singletary who is by all accounts a low ceiling borderline contributor? That’s easy to find in the UDFA pile. They could have taken Butler, a high upside monster. Goodluck finding that in UDFA. I know a common reply will be well a lot of teams passed on him. What’s that matter? A lot of teams pass on plenty of good players. I’m pissed, not only because I like the player but because that type of thinking is flawed. A limited RB is about as valuable as a one legged punter. Evidently they do not agree with your assessment. You and 100dollars should start a scouting service and see how many subscribers you got. Lots of people with more reputation and media history thought Singletary was in top remaining RBs so it is not by "all accounts". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 100 dollar part time scouting service said Nate Peterman needed a pitching mound long before he was drafted by the Bills. The million dollar decision makers took two years to get that one fixed.

A lot of people here questioned Peterman long before he threw 5 picks, and even more afterwards. 11 minutes ago, ColeB said: Interesting that Vanderbilt QB Kyle Shurmur signed with the Chiefs instead of with his dad with the Giants. Well, he virtually has to go elsewhere, doesn't he? If he's playing for his dad, whatever he gets the assumption will be that he got it by nepotism not talent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus it'll be awkward when his dad gets fired as they wait for Daniel Jones to develop in 3 years. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right but that’s the kind of answer one gets when they go to the land of make believe where GMs do everything better because they cash bigger checks. The draft was fine. The Singletary pick was flawed. The same folks had the same responses when posters like myself bagged on Ragland on draft day. It’s the off-season, everyone is excited, I get it. We all want the Bills to be good. That doesn’t mean everything has to be sunshine and rainbows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LabattBlue Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Maybe I’ve been staring at my phone to long today, but I looked at a couple of prospect rankings and didn’t see Easley listed. Anyone find him ranked in a list somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChasBB Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 6’ 7” and 249 pounds 40-yard dash: 4.59 Hand Size: 10 1/4” Maybe Buffalo found its "Gronk" in Tyree Jackson - would love to see him switch to TE and see what he can do there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s with this? Nothing against you, but I’m tired of ppl seeing measurables and hoping for the next Antonio Gates. Am I the only person that got tired of the Logan Thomas experiment even before it began? Now, who wants to watch another 3 years of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, the guy has such impressive speed and size and Buffalo really needs a TE with these kinds of measurables. If his hands aren't made of stone and if he can block and run routes, a guy with his measurables could be a perennial pro-bowler at TE - yes, way too early to speculate on that. I just would like to see what he can do there - seems worth a look, to me, at least. If Buffalo wants to develop him at QB, great - no problem with that.

Logan Thomas had a great deal more potential at TE than Jackson. Jackson has really only ever been a QB. Thomas was a top recruit as a TE and is just a much more physical player and even then he wasn't physical enough for the position at the NFL level. I suspect Jackson will go to Canada to play QB if the NFL doesn't work out for him. If Drew Willey could carve out a career up there so could Jackson. And then maybe after some time up there he'd get another shot at the NFL because unlike most QB's up there he doesn't lack the physical tools to be an NFL QB. If he plays it right he's got about a decade to develop himself into an NFL QB. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
