NewEra Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 (edited) So this is where you do it. 6’4 238 32.5 arms 9 7/8 hands 80 wingspan 4.42 40 40.5 vert 126 broad jump 19 bench reps Do you want him at 22? If so, play him all over or mostly at WR or TE? Which position would be more dominant or have a better chance to make the HoF? He went from a possible target in rd 2 to if we want him, we have to snag him at 22, if he’s even there. Did that happen today? I was really impressed, although his gauntlet still just looked ok He’d be such a great fit with JA imo.

Franchiseneedsme Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 (edited) I want to see the web chart on him..... DK went end of 2nd, and this year is deep.

PIZ Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 I was thinking that he looked like Kelvin Benjamin, but KB ran a 4.61 40. I’m not sure what would be better.....a big fast guy like Claypool or a small super fast guy like Ruggs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerJ Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Another big guy who ran well is Denzel Mims, with 4.39 unofficial 40. He's not quite as big as Claypool, but was more productive at Baylor than Claypool was at Notre Dame. Jalen Raegor ran a disappointing 4.47 - not slow, but not the burner he was touted to be, and at 5'11" he doesn't have size and catch radius as bragging points. He did have a nice vertical though (42"). Claypool might be a boom/bust type player in the first round where the pressure to succeed is so high. He has off the charts measurables, but wasn't very productive in college. Part of that was having a crap QB and an offense that didn't feature a high powered passing attack. He's not reap twitchy, not real crisp in his route running, doesn't have short area quickness or burst out of his breaks. Some of that can be coached up, but there is potential for him to disappoint. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 I saw little of him this year, and didn’t realize he was that LARGE. He made an athletic play at the back of the end zone in the senior bowl that caught my eye. I think it was called OB, but I don’t care. It was a serious WR football play. Now, where is he a value pick? I have no idea, but at the right price I’d love a guy like that! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badassgixxer05 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 As a life long Irish fan, Ive watched every game. Claypool was a project guy when brought in from CA. He didn't buy into immediately and was one of Kellys doghouse guys early on. The size and speed was seen immediately in spring camp. He wasnt given significant playing time until junior year where he was still just the number 2 behind Boykin, but still put up decent numbers. This last season he was the true number one and took on that leadership role everyone was waiting all this time for. He got better and better every season and even every game Senior year. I think if he had eligibility to play another season he would put up ridiculous numbers like 1500+yards and 15+TDs. He completely owned in the Camping World Bowl. Hes a guy that is going to benefit from NFL coaching and is going to get even better. 6'4 with a 40" verticle, and this guy catches everything. I said way back he was going to put up great combine numbers and kill our chances of getting later rounds. Will prob have to spend a 2nd on him to get now. Mike Evans with a little more speed and wiggle, sign me up please! 5 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wppete Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 (edited) Really impressive size and numbers at the combine but he didn’t look very smooth running routes. Not great hands, double catches a lot. I like Antonio Gandy-Golden from Liberty. He is also 6’4 and 10 lbs lighter but a much smother athlete with very soft hands and can be had in the 3rd or 4th round.

TigerJ Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 It seems doubtful that Claypool will make it to Buffalo's second round pick. Maybe they could drop down a few picks in the first round. If he does hang around down into the second round, maybe Buffalo could package some of their late round picks with their second rounder to move up and get him.

With how deep this draft is he will likely be there in the third, and if he isn't another extremely talented wr will be like Mims , Gandy or Edwards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenorthremembers Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Dont love his film, but he did play with a noodle arm QB so that can be deceptive. That said, I think he made himself a whole ton of money yesterday. Originally I think he was a day 3 pick, but with the size and the speed combo you have to view him as a day 2 pick. I dont think he'll make it into the 1st round because again, his tape isn't first round tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is constantly improving. Plus, he’s gone through a lot and has been a model student athlete. https://strongofheart.nd.edu/profiles/chase-claypool-2017/ since the Bills never get players I want, I assume we won’t get him. But as someone who’s only Jersey Is andre reed, I will buy a Claypool Jersey. That’s a solid $50 Bills. Make it happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't question Beane and McDermott's draft or free agent choices anymore. Too many times they left my head scratching and going why! To make me look stupid. I'd drink the koolaid if we took him in the first. It'd just take me a week or so until I did. I'd rewatch his highlights and slowly lie / convince myself to eventually think okay I can see why..

947 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 The 40 time isn't enough to vault Claypool into Round 1, considering his route running & separation ability. To NFL teams, the tape speaks much louder than Combine results. I do however think he could go in Round 2 now, based on the Combine numbers. I have no doubt that draft turds like McShay will project him in the 1st, I just don't see it happening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
