Chaos Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 (edited) I want Darnell Washington for the Bills. Hard to see how we get him though. So looking through measurables and stats for TEs in the draft and came across Mason Fairchild TE. Besides his football accomplishments Fairchlid was a NATIONAL high jump champion in high school. Here is the tale of the Washing vs. Fairchild Tape: Stat Washington Fairchild Height 6' 7" 6' 5" Weight 267 261 40 time 4.64 4.85 Targets in 2022 43 ? Catches in 2022 28 35 Passer Rating when targeted 2022 111.2 148.3 TDs 2022 2 5 Sacks Allowed 0 0 Pressures Allowed 0 1 are two inches of height and 2/10's in the 40 the difference between early second rounder and UDFA?

BigAl2526 Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 He's likely an undrafted free agent when all is said and done. Drafting a promising tight end and signing a guy like Fairchild are not mutually exclusive, but you don't wan to fail to draft a guy because you're counting on a Fairchild type player to improve your team. Thinking like that will get a GM fired eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike in Horseheads Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Michael Mayer from ND would be a good pick if ya want a TE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sierra Foothills Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 If he's way way under the radar, does that mean he's on the sonar? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrags Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 I’d say the 2” in height isn’t that big of a deal as long as wingspan is about the same. But the .20 of a second is absolutely a huge deal in the 40. Side by side it would be like 5-10ft difference most likely. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santana Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Was Darnell Washington any good? I know his measurables are insane but is he actually a good TE? I watched a few Georgia games this past season and never even noticed him. All that I noticed was Brock Bowers lighting it up weekly.

Jonnu Smith always pops with athleticism, but it doesn't translate to the field. I was pleasantly surprised with Morris tbh, he looked better than sweeney ever did anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the general opinion on him is that he was underutilized as a pass catcher. He seems to have all kinds of potential both as a receiver and a blocker. He is potentially a Rob Gronkowski type tight end, but until he does it on the field potential means a gamble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC Knox was also underutilized at Ole Miss. As well as on this team. I’d be willing to take that gamble on Washington. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Says Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Bills have Knox so Washington doesn't make too much sense unless he falls into 3rd or 4rh round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only position where Buffalo doesn't have a player who could be labeled a starting caliber player is middle linebacker, and the value in the first round may not have a first round middle linebacker. People are hating on Gabe Davis, but it can be argued that he is a starting caliber WR, even though he disappointed in 2022. The same is true at right tackle in Spencer Brown and running back with James Cook. I wouldn't be opposed to the Bills making their first round pick at any of those positions including TE. If the pick were a tight end, I think it means the Bills tweak their offensive play calling a little to include more two tight end formations, sometimes lining a tight end up in the slot and maybe running the ball a little more.
