TBBills Fan Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Beane was on "moving the chains" on SXM. Didn't say anything new except that his intention it to have us under the cap by next week. Then it's looking at what they have, figuring out who they can bring back then looking at what's left over that can be used on free agents outside the org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In Summary Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 19 hours ago, BBFL said: Pairing all that in, maybe a trade up is inevitable? There is a lot of great talent in this draft @ WR. Though only a handful of guys who are seen as legitimate #1 dominant guys. I'd prefer not to trade up. Really hate seeing a rd 3-5 pick used for a trade-up when there is never really a "sure thing". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think as evidenced by the fact that he skipped the previous weigh in, there was fear he was going to weigh in significantly heavier than this lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this weight his testing results will probably be adversely affected. Players do all sorts of things to manage their combine weight - Maybin, Bryce Young- the fact that he's done nothing to get it down is a very bad look. He could drop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's his playing weight, which he played at a very high level, I see it as a plus. At least he didn't put on the Dawkins 40 during the offseason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe less of an issue for a team that relies heavily on a rotation but most teams would be looking for more from a highly drafted DT.

At least he didn't put on the Dawkins 40 during the offseason Lmao the Dawkins bashing is Soo stupid and old He's literally playing the toughest line position in the NFL and he's our most consistent lineman... Consistently left one-on-one There's not a lineman alive who doesn't carry 20 30+ extra pounds in the off season... That's why you have OTAs and minicamp and training camp... Multiple sessions to get into shape the correct way No lineman walk around their playing weight in the offseason because you are losing weight throughout TC and the season... That's a fact If you come into training camp 325 lb as a lineman... You're going to be leaving at 310 lb... Some lineman lose 30+ pounds Dawkins plays at around 320... And clearly carried a lot of water weight... I don't care if he's 355 lb in February He certainly wasn't 355 in August Just look at the way he moves on a football field... He's a freak athlete for a guy his size... As long as you can keep your athleticism having more mass will never hurt you especially on the line If he was moving in quicksand it could be a problem but Dion is a freak athlete.. I'd be more worried about his age than how he trains Edited February 29 by Buffalo716 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Turk Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 (edited) 2 hours ago, DCOrange said: Dude had to skip the Senior Bowl weigh in to make sure he could get down to 366 lol. I fear for his health. That is a lot of brisket, red beans and rice and cornbread...just for fun, I went and calculated his maintenance calories for him to maintain that weight and he needs to consume 5500 calories a day. That's craziness. Now I see why those NFL lineman lose so much weight when they retire...literally all you have to do is eat like a normal person and you can lose 60 lbs like nothing.

But it's very easy to lose 20-30 lb in a training camp as a big guy You obviously don't want a wide receiver coming in 30 lb heavy.. it's not the end of the world for a lineman who is a veteran and knows what he needs to do Edited February 29 by Buffalo716 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
