Some undrafted free agents make more than 7th round picks Once you reach a certain slot where you think you're talents outweigh the draft price, sometimes it's better to go undrafted and pick your spot Peter's got Great development because he got to choose to come to Buffalo, where we had the time to develop him Who knows he could have not answered the phone for a team in the 7th round Edited July 14, 2020 by Buffalo716 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless he was a good blocker in college, and just needed a little bit of time to work on stunts and such And add some strength and some weight By the time he achieved that he was ready to play the unknown was if he could get to that weight while keeping his athletic ability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was well over a decade ago and I thought he was around 290-300 because that's where he played at It doesn't even matter anymore But he was given well over a year to acclimate. Not even starting at right tackle till about week five or six of his second Season. He is the epitome of a hard-working player where hard work pays off Edited July 15, 2020 by Buffalo716 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That fact had no impact on the Bills fortunes. A really good LT on a bad team is a wasted resource. See: Joe Thomas's entire career. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
