They will be able to get certain positions. Like I don’t think getting a QB will be a problem. Hey you’ll be 3 on the PS, Keenum leaves and your the # 2 guy if you develop. 
 

should be able to convince a TE and Guard fairly easy. Maybe a LB as well but beyond that yea it will be tough. 


 

Except he will be QB#4 behind Keenum and Barkley - and Barkley may be PS bound.

 

They also drafted 2 LBs and at TE they still have their UDFA from last year - so they have 4 - with a young guy already.

 

They will pick up a few cut guys also before TC.

Yea I’ll be honest I completely forgot about Barkley

I joked in the Benford thread about teams poaching our practice squad. The UDFA signings are usually fun but we’re kinda just coaching them up for some other teams to grab now which makes it less fun for me anyways 

This is why NFL Europe was great. Teams could let their prospects get real game experience and give them time to develop.

 

Fred Jackson played for the Rhein Fire and probably wouldn't have had an NFL career without having that opportunity after going undrafted.

Yeah a UDFA outside WR will be competing against the likes of Jake Kumerow and Isaiah Hodgins. That's an easy pitch to an agent trying to advise their client on the best destination. We haven't replaced Emmanuel Sanders' spot yet. There is possibly a space available there.

 

Similarly we should have our pick of the UDFA TEs. In fact I'm shocked we didn't draft one after meeting with seemingly every one of them.

 

Slow the roll.

Sanders failed to record a TD in his last 9 regular season games in Buffalo.

His last regular season TD was on October 10th.

How does that happen with JA as your QB?

He had 3 weeks recording 0 catches for 0 yards last year.

He had 1 TD in the post season on 1/15/21

 

Gabe Davis won the spot.

Davis set the all time NFL record in a playoff game for yards and TDs

He helped win the Indy playoff game the year before.

Gabe Davis is the replacement

 

Buffalo added Crowder to replace Beasley and kept McKenzie for the slot.

 

Buffalo drafted Kalil Shakir in the 5th.

He is 6'0" 196

4.43 40, 4.21 20 yd shuttle

He is the outside WR depth

 

He will be given every chance to unseat Kumerow and Hodgins.

Shakir and Stevenson can both play outside 

 

Everything I've read says that Shakir is slot only. Stevenson probably won't make the roster...

Gabe Davis.

 

Then Davis' spot as the 3rd outside WR has not been filled. They need to get a UDFA or veteran in the building to make sure Kumerow isn't handed that job. Maybe Dorsey plans on running more 2 TE and/or 2 RB sets that will make a 3rd starting caliber outside WR less of a need, I don't know.

Always a chance…and they certainly

have a good shot to stick on the practice squad, if they have a good camp. 

 

   I kinda like the standards are so high to make the team and really any UFDA that has the confidence to compete with the talent we have probably means they are pretty decent and the lessor athletes weed themselves out by signing elsewhere.

Did you honestly watch that game and think Davis' play on the field matched the statistical output? I don't want to downplay it too much, he had a great game. But his record setting performance was more a function of Allen putting on one of the greatest displays of QBing in playoff history and Diggs taking attention away, not to mention an awful CB performance from Mike Hughes. I guess they are just going to hand the 2nd WR job to Davis at this point which I can settle for. But who is going to be the next guy on the depth chart?

Just curious why?

Rambo 2 first blood. The one in Vietnam not Afghanistan. 

Rambo while he played well at Miami, doesn't do anything for the Bills offense. He's not overly explosive, he has okay hands, he definitely was able to take advantage of coverage when Miami went tempo, but he was inconsistent (sounds weird to say when you talk about the guy who just set a bunch of records). When he played against above average CB he was a non factor. Miami has two really good TEs who may come next year plus they have a good younger WR in Keyshawn Smith, but Rambo is one of those college guys who plays well but won't be a guy who makes a living on Sunday. Most likely a deep depth guy.

So you did mean #2 WR.  That's what I thought (and Davis has earned the right to be pencilled-in at the #2 spot)  But yes, I agree that more depth would be a good thing.  There are a few unsigned veteran WRs who could fit the bill, and probably more to come.

There is upside there. Has to beat out Sweeney. 

 

He already has...

Davis is the new Edmunds.

ok just cause you read a report isn’t true . I’m sure they have the intentions of playing Shakir at both. Not gonna have 3 slot only guys. Their gonna try him outside

Last year the #2 spot was split between Davis and Sanders. Personally I think Davis fits better in this offense when he isn't a full time #2 and can take advantage of more favorable matchups created for him. It may be that the Bills have decided he's going to be the full time #2 and they're fine with Kumerow backing him up. That's not what I would do though.

Justyn Ross is a really boom or bust kid, he was going to be a stud prior to the neck injury, it's one of those things that if Buffalo can get him in, our medical staff would be the few I trust to give him a pass medically. IMO better than Mike Williams at Clemson and was an absolute monster that National Championship year

He’s an unathletic receiving TE. Like a Lee Smith who can’t block lol

 

Seemed to be open deep on a lot fo plays.  Good hands and fast enough to get open and get YAC.  

 

Looks pretty good.  We will see how he pans out.

I'll be surprised if McDermott gives a day 3 rookie two roles on offense. He likes bringing rookies along slowly. Let him compete for the slot job, that's where his skill set fits. Maybe he'll develop into an outside WR at some point.

Yeah I think McKenzie's roster spot is possibly in danger, or maybe Crowder's.

Davis is going to be a breakout star this year, just wait.
