Locomark Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 22 hours ago, Brandon said: On paper, this seems like a really good pick. He's a four year starter in a major conference, is fairly athletic for an OG, and grades out well in pass protection. Everything I read said this guy was a hard worker who was basically lacking high athletic traits and that is why he was getting drafted where he was. So this is a guy you are basically hoping can overcome lack of immense talent with technique and anger... sound like Feliciano... no thanks. The “fairly athletic” is not what major scouting reports say. They say “sufficient” “durable” “ lacks footwork” so this guy likely doesn’t make the team. He might be lucky to even get in the practice squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might be lucky to even get in the practice squad. Well, he IS a 7th round pick. I'm not saying he's HOF material or anything, just that he seems like a nice developmental guard here in R7. As far as his athleticism is concerned, I'm basing that solely on a cursory look at his pro day numbers, which seem to lean much more positive than not. Now maybe that doesn't translate to the field, but at least it suggests there might be something there the Bills coaches can work with.

Strange take since he brought back the entire starting OL. Beane felt it was more of a scheme issue. Beane and McDermott just adding competition which makes everyone focus more on improving. Keep depth deep. OL camp will be an interesting one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys picked in rounds 6-7 are typically going to be niche role or depth players if they make the roster or PS developmental type players. I like the Anderson pick, I think he will make the PS and get called up if there is an injury. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not strange in the least, everyone knew/knows our preferred O line Starters didn’t play together the entire season do to injury, back ups were in use a lot and run game schemes were changed to accommodate the BU linemen’s skills, now we have the preferred O line guys all healthy, and we have substantial BUs / potential starters behind them.

It was more about adding weapons on offense and at 30 that was a good spot to take one of the RB'S. I never believed RB was our issue in the run game. I don't believe drafting 3 lineman was to fix our run game either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious, if it’s not the RBs, or having our preferred O line guys all healthy at once for the first time in over a season, plus with good BUs, and some with starting potential, what is it then? Scheme? coaching? Being that without our Preferred starters we still went 13-3, we should likely be all the better this upcoming season. I would add that our coaches learn and grow better with their learning experiences, I don’t see the issues that some want to make mountains out of mole hills about, no team since the Dolphins undefeated season have been perfect before or after so..., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were games they didn't run almost at all. Basically just called a run play just to call it. No rhythm. Run game is about rhythm. I think it was probably a little bit of scheme, commitment, and injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear ya, I think pretty much the same, the run game all in all was an afterthought as compared to the passing game, mostly because the passing game was kicking Azs throughout most of the season. Beane made it awfully darn clear he wants an effective run game this upcoming season, I am confident we will see exactly that as a compliment to the passing game.
