YoloinOhio Posted August 7, 2019 Author Share Posted August 7, 2019 With so much young talent on the roster, it’s no surprise that the Bills skyrocketed up ESPN+ and Football Outsiders’ NFL under-25 talent roster ranking. After finishing 26th one season ago, Buffalo found themselves at No. 6 in this year’s ranking. Here is what Scott Spratt of Football Outsiders said about the Bills’ young talent in the ESPN+ article. 2018 ranking: 26 Blue-chip players: Tremaine Edmunds, ILB; Josh Allen, QB; Tre’Davious White, CB; Ed Oliver, DT Notable graduated players: Matt Milano, OLB; Dion Dawkins, LT; Shaq Lawson, DE; Robert Foster, WR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocket94 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 (edited) Nice endorsement from ESPN. I am glad they recognize the patience being exercised by Beane & Company as they build a competitive roster for the long haul. Outside of the obvious mentions of Allen, White, Edmunds and White, we see Dawkins! Good stuff! At least someone is paying attention.

Idk cuz i dont have ESPN+ But this is a quote from the article: The GM has also shown a knack for finding contributors after the draft as Levi Wallace and Robert Foster both stood out on the field for the Bills over their final season games last season.

It’s why he went undrafted, but if the Bills are able to get any production from him like they did 2nd half of last season after investing nothing in terms of money or draft picks, that’s a win. I don’t care how old he is. Now, his age could come into play when he goes for that next contract. Edited August 7, 2019 by YoloinOhio 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbRiddick Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Not surprised. They say the NFL is a copycat league and that works for the media too. Not many of the 'experts' have the time to thoroughly research every team, so a lot tend to read what other have said and sort of base their opinions on that. Quite a few 'experts' have predicted the Bills to do well this year, and that's beginning to filter down to others now. I think by the time the season kicks off we'll be getting picked as a lot of peoples' surprise team of the year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
