“huh” Hell.

 

Google the current roster. 

I'm pretty sure the intention was for him to be the 4th WR, not the 10th.  I'm not sure if you are aware but you also tend to carry more WRs than RBs so a 4th WR has more impact than a 4th RB.

Neither. He is a Striped Bass, commonly found in Lake Lanier, Georgia. Is very fond of spinner baits and football headed jigs.

Or Lake Mead outside Las Vegas, where my pops caught a 24 pounder... Big Ol fish, just like Bass'es leg

mans who are the dummies that say he can’t hit over 50 yards? Please.  The guy could be the next Justin Tucker. Let’s face it, no one here has a clue. The only bad thing about kickers is that teams are forced to give up on them too soon.  You often see kickers stick when they are on their 2nd or 3rd team.

 

Former Bills kickers Dustin Hopkins and 23 year vet Gary Anderson called to agree with you. :beer:

I'm genuinely surprised by people being upset with getting a kicker. We've got a great roster and it's the sixth round ffs! Be happy, we're no longer having to convince ourselves that John McCargo and Aaron Maybin are smart picks as we try to pretend the rest of the league isn't laughing at us.

Only 4 attempts of 50+, made two ( must have been two 50 yarders)

 

 

Any idea how long the others were, game conditions, etc? I suppose I could just go look it up myself. I really thought Blankenship would be the first K off the board, but not even close. I don't think he has a particularly big leg either, though. 6th rounder?  Take it for what it is. I'm on board.

 

And yes, according to many, he  was the #1 PK this year.

What does this mean? Is Hauschka as good as gone? Or they can keep him based on camp competition and stash this guy on practice squad?

 

The same thing they have been preaching. Competition. If all Bass does is get Hauschka back to form then it's worth the pick.

You’re not the gm though right? They obviously have some familiarity with this kid and feel comfortable bringing him in. What qualifies you over Beane to say he can’t win the job? Cause you read an article? 
How about the senior bowl? Read about that? 

He is an official member of the gang of six,  that mighty group of permanently disgruntled supposed Bills fans, to get in to this club ya gotta complain about pretty much anything the Bills do as an organization, all the time, Great isn’t it... ??

I'm excited enough about this pick that I flew through this thread and didn't even register disappointment lol. Screw em. I'm gonna be happy.

I suspect 1 or 2 of them are actually fans of other AFC East teams.

People who keep quoting the 50 yard career long as a negative clearly haven't watched any of his highlights (many of which other have kindly posted in this thread, cheers guys!). Most of the field goals he made looked to be in the 40-45 yard range and could have easily cleared the bar from 50-55 yards out. Joe Marino also posted his Senior Bowl kick where he hits the left post halfway up from 58 yards out. It's also noticeable how much of a rainbow effect his kicks have, I'd say they'll be very difficult to block.

 

Sky isn't falling is my point, looks like we got a good one. 

the one clip of him nailing a 50 hit the top of the net behind the upright

Need a punter more than a kicker.  Also need someLBs

 

Wonder if the kid from Syracuse is a wink-wink priority UDFA

 

Bass is Kiper's K1? FWIW

so BU QB has small hands. Kicker has trouble kicking in weather.

 

when is that Downtown Dome going to be announced. ?

I read also the kicker has small hands and the BU QB has never hit a kick from 50 yds.  Doomed.

Waste of a pick

 

 

Of course. They should have picked a starting WR/CB/OT here!!!

 

Christ. It's the 6th round. A kicker has a better chance of helping this team than just about any other position.

Yeah. 

I hate drafting guys who will make the roster and might unseat a veteran starter with a 6th round pick.

I'm sure some WR or RB would have had a better chance at making the roster and contributing. ?

Hope his gramma can make it up to Buffalo to watch him play.

I can't believe ESPN missed the opportunity to put up a graphic highlighting that his Mee-maw had cancer

F Gary Anderson. He resented being drafted by the Bills and played himself off the team on purpose. Too bad we didn’t interview him beforehand instead of wasting a 7th round pick in a 12 round draft.
