Virgil Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 As we see certain players drop, for whatever reason, I wonder if there are thresholds of when a team might reconsider drafting that player. Most draft boards I see rank players by position, then by round rank within that. So, if there’s an OT who ranked in interviews, but fairly productive in the league with a second round grade. Do the Bills take him off the board completely, or put an asterisk next to him that indicates “if he’s available in the 5th or UDFA, then sure” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But surely it happens for subsets on different less extreme issues 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Yep. They are. There are players who go on the backboard who if your front board is wiped out you'd consider. But there are players who are totally off the board too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigK14094 Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 I think the draft boards are kept and refered to when cuts occur in August. Might want to bring in somebody for a look see. there was one guy the Bears got in that category that the Bills liked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albany,n.y. Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Guys with criminal records often are classified as undraftable & unsignable by teams. Some teams had Richie Incognito on their blacklist due to all his problems in college, however all it takes is one team to draft a guy for him to get in the league. In the past teams like the Bengals & Seahawks were notorious for drafting guys with off the field problems. Lately the Chiefs have had some very questionable picks who they viewed as bargains because other teams wouldn't touch them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Yes, usually for character reasons or medical reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
