Bills UDFA thread. Signings only. Listed on pg. 9


Message added by Hapless Bills Fan

This is a general message. Do not take it personally, unless it applies to you (then please, take it personally)

 

Just spent time I'll never get back cleaning a bunch of religious and political not football related schtuff out of this thread.  If you find that your post has gone AWOL, please take the hint and refrain from similar posts on TSW going forward.  A little joking around or off-topic is one thing but this was drowning the thread.

There are literally thousands of places to discuss your love of or your disdain for religion, politics etc etc - but only a few places to discuss Buffalo Bills football. 

Go Bills!

FAU OT Brandon Walton

UNC RB Antonio Williams

Appalachian State DB Josh Thomas
Auburn OL Marquel Harrell

Toledo FB/TE Reggie Gilliam

 

those all confirmed 

Antonio Williams is ok. App St Josh Thomas has a little more promise. He was a 5 year starter 4 year captain played in 5 bowl games and won 4 conference titles. Sounds like a winner and leader to me. Although over 5 years would think he could grab a couple more picks than 6 or 7. The only other person I've watched play (If you' watched Auburn at all you have too) on this list is Marquel Harrell. They could not get any gound game going against LSU, Bama, or Georgia.  But managed some what ok running days outside of that this year. And Bo Nix looked good enough.

None of them even have an NFL.com profile. Not the greatest sign.

 

Only Bills UDFA so far that I'd consider potentially more than just a camp body is Josh Thomas.

 

We will be a very unattractive place for UDFAs to sign this year. Despite a history of giving them a chance, its clear we have a loaded roster and it's one the toughest places to stick on a roster in the league at the moment.

Has he ever kicked in wind? I don’t know anything about him 


He’s a early draft entrant which doesn’t happen too often for punters, so he is young and a little raw. Out kicks his coverage from time to time. His uncle was a pinter for 17 years and his dad was a long snapper. He’s been doing it his entire life. He obviously punted in the wind on the road, averaged 48 at Utah this year, and he started his career at Lafayette in Pennsylvania, so he’s done the wind thing, albeit Buffalo takes some adjustment for any punter. He is so much better than what we have here, so I hope it works out. Arizona State wasn’t all that good, so him flipping the field kept them in a lot of games. Probably find out today where he signs.

What did he say? I’m honestly asking, because I didn’t listen. Thank you in advance.

They asked about Vedvik. He said he has three positions. 1st is Punter, Kick Off Guy and then Long FG Specialist. 
 

he sounds very High on him everytime he talks. I really think the Putin’s job is gonna be Vedvik’s to lose. They asked about kicker and such in draft and he said he wanted to get two punters and 2 kickers into camp this offseason. 
 

they now have that so I don’t think anything is happening there

Daboll can’t wait to send him deep at a critical time in the playoffs 


As long as he takes two defenders with him like DiMarco did, it will remain a good call on Daboll's part.

Someone just needs to tell Josh not to THROW it to the double-covered fullback.

Trey Adams hey?

 

Was in that first round mock from a year ago that got posted yesterday...

 

He was  a guy that I had in mind for the 6th/7th round...

 

Will watch with interest ?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes! I wanted us to take a late round (6th or 7th) on this guy!  Has a bunch of injury concerns, thrilled we got him without using a draft pick

I'd love to sit in when McDermott has his first meeting with one of these guys.  I'd be interested to hear what he says.   I suspect it includes:

 

1.  Compete.   It's about competition at every position.   Yes, there are guys ahead of you, but compete.

 

2.  Be a great teammate.

 

3.  Study.

 

4.  If you make our team, great.  If you don't, and you've done 1-3, you may be able to catch on with another team.   If you've done 1-3, and if we see a future for you, we will want you on our practice squad, where you can compete, be a great teammate and study.  

 

5.  Remember, you're here because we think you can have a career in the NFL.
