I was thinking there's no way that there hasn't been some greats on there. I was wrong. It's bad. Like, real bad. So I guess according to the list Hopkins isn't considered good anymore? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Guys how many phenomenal players have we drafted from Wyoming. If I have to tell you the reference you’re not a bills fan. this morning there was a debate on the radio who is QB U? No one. They come from everywhere. If you want me to keep going on Coe College etc., I can. kts about the player. Have their been years ago more solid linemen from Oklahoma, Nebraska, Illinois, sure. That’s not a predictor though. I know people are on edge for the draft. My feeling is finish you’re working day, kiss the kids, have you’re dinner, have a beer and enjoy or go to bed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rico Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 (edited) If you’re a GM in the NFL, you really can’t not look a player cause he went to a certain school. If you’re a Bills fan on this board though playing GM (including all the serious GM wannabe’s), you live by your own rules. That’s why I won’t draft Ohio State QB’s, high-motor lunch-pail WR’s, or burn high draft picks on anyone from Clemson.

I'm sitting here trying to remember if we've ever drafted a decent player from Clemson. I can't think of any. Not one. Can you? Lawson, Spiller, Watkins, even going all the way to Perry Tuttle. All were high picks that did not work out. Would like to see the jinx broken if we take this kid. Based on the track record we're in trouble. No they aren't so no need to worry.

Eastport bills Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Clemson never won championships with teams that sent previous draft choices to the NFL. Etienne and Lawrence won on the biggest stage. They were proven stars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soylent Green Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 These players would walk into the Bills starting lineup today: Nuk Hopkins Tee Higgins Christian Wilkins Dexter Lawrence Grady Jarrett DJ Reader AJ Terrell Travis Etienne These players would be at least perfectly acceptable squad depth: Mike Williams Hunter Renfrow (younger Cole Beasley) Mitch Hyatt Isaiah Simmons (bags of potential, poorly handled last season) Clelin Ferrell John Simpson Trevor Lawrence (ahem) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, we drafted Lawson from that team and he was productive enough to get a nice offer from Miami after his rookie deal. The other draft choices never played on good clubs.

Mat68 Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Imo Spiller and Lawson became who many thought they would be. Spiller was a big play guy. Lawson is a strong edge setter who will get you hustle sacks. Watkins been injured and we didnt have a qb. Year 1 or 2 Watkins with Allen? He would have been an all pro.

Where does Williams enter into it. He's on the LA Chargers having a pretty good career as a WR, he went to Clemson & is another of Clemson's NFL success stories. I can think of at least 3 Mike Williams, unfortunately the 2 who were with the Bills underachieved when they were here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I mentioned mike Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
