It's not like a tree where a Hyde and Poyer can be plucked every draft. You only get late round guys that pan out like that every so often. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosejob Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I really hope we get him, but guess his home is Utah, so my money is on SF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milano, Taron Johnson, Gabe Davis, Dane Jackson and Benford all ended up being productive to great starters drafted in rounds 4-7. They also found Wyatt Teller and Ray Ray McCloud both of whole went on to have good careers elsewhere. In addition to those players the Bills also found solid role players in Siran Neal, Tyler Bass and Hamlin. That being said there were about 15 misses in those rounds in that same time period. So it’s a total crap shoot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it’s a total crap shoot. Right. I mean I like our chances, but it absolutely is no sure thing. Well just like every round, you never know really. All I do know is I think landing a Blackmon and then Johnson at DT would really allow the draft to really just come to us and have no unnecessary reaches. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scuttlebutt was we offered something heavy in incentives. Which isn't surprising. He tore his ACL before he was Drafted. He tore his Achilles a couple years ago. And now he's coming off a Shoulder injury late in the season. Unlike White, both the ACL and Achilles happened early in his career and he's had years removed from both to show where he's at. But the fact remains, he's gone down a lot for such a short career. Regardless of what posters want you to believe, Blackmon and Edwards are close as far as prospective options in the market went. When we brought in Blackmon and then a day later brought in Edwards and signed him after that - that said to me Blackmon wasn't interested and we moved on. I don't think odds were great he was going to come back to our offer to begin with. Now that we've signed Edwards after re-signing Rapp, I see the odds of him coming back to our offer even less. He'll get a better deal elsewhere or the same deal with a team that has less of a competitive aspect. TL;DR It'd be cool if we landed him too - but I think the Bills and Blackmon have moved on. I don't see this as something you should be expecting or waiting for anymore. Edited March 21 by BillsFanForever19 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels like only 20% chance we do though And there’s really only a 10% chance of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warriorspikes51 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Well it appears he left SF without a deal. Perhaps he is weighing his options? Some talk he could also return to Indy still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
