HappyDays Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Everything about Spencer Brown screams long term Bills staple that is a perennial fan favorite. Think Eric Wood or Kyle Williams. I have a feeling 3 years from now we'll be thankful he fell so far. 3 1 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxcar Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 20 minutes ago, Dr.Mantis_Toboggan said: IDK why so many are doubting that Beane will address CB in some capacity. When has he just threw his hands up and said "oh well, let's hope this is good enough"? Every year he brings in proven vets to compete at spots that didn't get addressed through the draft to his liking, this year will be no different. Also, its not a given that Wallace has plateaued, and Johnson is more than solid in the Nickel role. Levi was a UDFA, Taron 5th round, stop sleeping on the mastermind and... trust the process. There are decent options still floating around in FA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffarukus Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 5 minutes ago, NoSaint said: ive always been the loudest advocate of getting young OTs reps in that role instead of carrying such a specialized tight end that’s 100% a blocker. he’s a great prospect for that role. Even if he never goes out on a route for real i agree. i think this is the plan. imagine a jump ball in the redzone to this guy. throw him in there while he develops it will get him good reps and be a pretty unique tool to use in situations.

Well... this means maybe he can be our swing tackle and learn from our newly resigned RT for a couple years and start in year 3 and become an excellent starter right away. As long as the rest of our OL is really good for the next 2 years.... I'm good with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorkScrewHill Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Off called him the most athletic OL in the draft https://www.pff.com/news/draft-2021-nfl-draft-ol-superlativesbest-feet-most-versatile-best-pass-sets “This one was hotly contested this draft season. Illinois’ Kendrick Green (36-inch vertical and 9-foot-11 broad jump) as well as Texas’ Sam Cosmi (4.87-second 40, 36 bench reps, and 7.35-second three-cone) both had all-time pro-day figures in their own right. But it was Brown who put up arguably the single freakiest offensive line testing figure we’ve ever seen. He ran a 6.96 three-cone at 311 pounds. That’s the fastest ever recorded for an offensive lineman. To put that into perspective, Antonio Brown only ran a 6.98 three-cone coming out of Central Michigan. Spencer Brown is a pure project at this point, but you won’t find better project tools.” 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read for three rounds running now how Beane is a fool, first for passing on Melifonwu in the 1st round, then for passing on him again in the 2nd round, then for passing on him again in the 3rd. Lo and behold, he didn't go until the late compensatory section of the 3rd round. People's refusal to back down from their draft crushes is weird sometimes. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreggTX Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Got this one right. I've thought all along that we are too soft in the trenches. We still need an upgrade at CB2, but at least we focused on the top priority. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 In reading about this guy's intensity, dedication, and loyalty, and learning of his absolutely insane athletic ability and physical prowess and watching clips of him in action.... I am quickly going from "Who? What? Why?!?!" to "this is my favorite pick of the draft". This dude is an absolute unit, and I predict that it will not be long at all before Bills fans are extremely thankful that he's on our team. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColoradoBills Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Just a comment on the Spencer Brown v Daryl Williams and his contract. Williams contract is essentially a 2 year deal. In 2023 (his last year) he has a $1.8M Dead Cap hit (actually has only a $3.6M in 2022). His leftover contract for the 2023 year is $7M. If healthy he is an easy trade at 31 years of age. Not saying that is how it will pan out but it is worth considering. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rc2catch Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 I like our draft so far. Similar to years past we may be sacrificing some production NOW for growth and long term sustainability. They seem to really enjoy project players who have ridiculously high potential. We haven’t seen them groom many of these yet but some of these guys have really elite athletic traits. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
