Bills pre-draft visit tracker


Recommended Posts

  • YoloinOhio changed the title to Bills pre-draft visit tracker

I wonder if there's a limit to how many players teams can meet with this year since the meetings are on Zoom, and they can't talk to them at the combine?

 

Also, I like seeing some really fast players on this list. Anthony Schwartz might be faster than Tyreek. We need to add a burner or two!

Why would you conclude that ? Probably the first one they met with but that doesn't necessarily indicate any ranking or priority 

Unless I'm missing someone, I believe Jenkins is generally the highest ranked of all the players on this list. Stretch to get him at 30, impossible to get him in round 2. I'd just assume that since he's a fit in a potential area of need, and likely ready to play full time snaps immediately, that it would enable them to let Williams go and potentially get Milano back who is probably harder to replace.

I've been thinking a lot about a Tremble draft.  I think that would be a good get.

 

Agreed.

Based on this list it appears the Bills are okay with AJ Klein being a starter for the whole year.

Or, quite possibly, they may even sign a free agent? Could even be Milano?

Looks like you got on that jump to conclusions mat?

Agreed.

Exactly. Jenkins is the highest rated player on the list and likely the only one that is worth picking in the first.

A couple things on this list/the individual prospects:

  • More than ever, it'll be easier for teams to hide who they're meeting with this offseason since they're all virtual meetings. We'll only know who Buffalo is meeting with if they or the prospect want us to know.
  • Sounds like Jenkins is starting to be viewed similarly to Cody Ford when he came out. Really good college tackle that might need to move inside due to his arm length.
  • Jenkins, Rondale Moore, Ifeatu Melifonwu, and Levi Onwuzurike are all considered potential late 1st round picks, so this list doesn't necessarily mean Jenkins is our top target.

Tremble, Kylin hill, Anthony Schwartz, Melifonwu... all players I think fit our team and needs really well

trade back with our first pick if Zaven is not there

 

On a side note, I am not a great OL evaluator.... but if that Notre Dame OT is available when we pick in the first round, it may be a good replacement for Williams if he is too expensive.

So can we conclude that Teven Jenkins is their #1 target?

 

or Levi from Washington also projected about 30.  

 

I also think Bean has a history of not having official visits with top picks?   

 

The WR group after Moore is underwhelming, IMO.  

 

no Steewart, Cox at Lb?

in that case I amend my WR comment.  But would like to see the kid from Iowa and Ill on there also for speed.

It’s very early

I thought Klein came on strong towards the end of the year.. I mean, he had 5 sacks and he won DPOTW award twice I think. He was a very good free agent signing, good value for the money.

Given your name, I'm not sure if you're serious or not. But this is absolutely only a partial list, and we're a solid 8 calendar weeks away from the draft still. Add to that that both the draft and impending cuts look like they'll have a good amount of quality LBs, and I think (again, if serious) you're stretching that reading too far here...

Not sure how official this is but good way to start the visit thread 

 

 

 

I'm mostly intrigued that they have brought in 4WR.  You would think its currently a position of strength but to me this signals the possibility of the end for John Brown.

Also, not all players want their visits announced. Trey sermon for example said that he met with every team at the senior bowl but wanted to keep his team visits private, so I assume his agent won’t be telling reporters.

This to me smacks of combing a McKenzie & Roberts role into one. Hopefully you can add Taiwan Jones role into this one position too. Is that asking too much 🤔

Yes, because Jones is a gunner 

So a punt & kick returner and #5 or #6 receiver can’t be a gunner? I remember Easley returning kicks, being a receiver, and a gunner. Pretty sure he didn’t return punts though.

Technically yes but they are such specialized positions you likely won’t find someone out of college who has done both

Brown's a cut candidate and McKenzie and Davis are UFAs. I wouldn't be shocked if we get a kid on day 3.

Fairburn had a decent article a while back regarding the Bills draft and Beane's past strategies of trading picks to move up.

 

Beane is fairly aggressive as a GM and the quote of his in the article I think it captures some of his draft philosophy.

 

“When we want to acquire someone, seeing if there’s a guy that I think fits a need and the value, that’s probably where some people think maybe I get too aggressive in the draft,” Beane said last year. “But if there’s a guy that I think is a real sure fit, if I overpaid a little bit, so be it. It’s better than waiting, sitting on my hands and I’m not really fired up about a guy when my pick comes up. That’s just my viewpoint. That may not be for the 31 other GMs, but that’s how I see it.”
