If we're gonna draft a TE this year I say we

from Western Michigan.

He's 6'6" 250 pounds and last year had 57 receptions for 670 yards and 9 TD's. He was very impressive at the combine and will probably be available in the 3rd or 4th round, maybe even later.

Scheffler ran the second fastest 40 time at 4.54, had the third longest broad jump at 9 feet 7 inches, tied for the best time in the 3-cone drill at 6.81 seconds, posted the fastest time in the short shuttle as well as the second fastest in the long shuttle. What this does for his draft status is uncertain at this point, but it certainly has to help his cause in what is a very deep tight end draft class.

I really like Tony Scheffler, plus it's not everyday somebody recommends we draft a player from Kalamazoo, so I'll take it. Another guy from WMU to watch out for is WR Greg Jennings. Over the last three seasons Jennings has been the most productive DI receiver in the nation despite constant double teams the past two years. Over the last three years he’s AVERAGED 76 catches for 1134 yards and 13 TD’s. He’s undersized and I understand that we don’t need another small receiver, but if he drops to the 4th or 5th round he would have a lot of value.

I got an idea! Lets draft all sleepers from small schools and pass on all the players from big schools with proven records and a better chance of making it at the next level. Man that would be cool and we would really outsmart everybody else.

 

I can't stand crap like this. I know it sounds cool but really! Both these players have good potential but looking for them instead of bigger and better players from bigger schools cuts down the chance of falure.

We should be especially cautious of TE's from no-name schools like Wabash College. We know that NEVER works out.

I don´t know about drafting them but why not throw some names out there to get to know them

 

David Feliciano TE Harding

Class 2006

Height 604.0

Weight 250

Speed 4.49 (Unofficial)

Position TE

 

Stats

2005: 8 games: 35 catches for 423 yards, (12.1 ypc) 1 TD.

2004: Ranked #1 in the Gulf Coast Conference in receptions with 51 for 683 yards and 10 TDs.

Career: 134 receptions 1,391 yards and 14 TDs.

 

This talented pass catching Tight End transferred to Harding from Arkansas Tech after his freshman year. He has received almost every honor under the sun at his level, but because Harding played only an 8-game schedule his stats are not impressive as they might otherwise be. He may be the best TE prospect for the 2006 NFL draft who didn't play major college football. Decent size, but still projects more as an H-back in the NFL. David has become the primary target on a Bison passing offense that is one of the best in the Gulf South Conference. He may have thought he would become a weapon at receiver - where he played most of his career - but he has grown into the role of tight end, literally. He still has his speed, he is sixth fastest on the team with a 4.49 40-yard dash, but his increasingly large frame has taken him to the next level and made him an incredibly confident offensive weapon. "He's just a big 'ole target," Coach Tribble said. "He runs real well, can line up at tight end or split end and another play being the three-guy in Trips. We definitely know he is the guy we want to get the ball to." I doubt we hear his name called in the 2006 NFL Draft but with his speed and hands anything is possible.

Jonathan Williams TE New Hampshire

 

Class 2006

Height 603.0

Weight 235

Speed 4.65 (Unofficial)

Position TE

 

Stats

2005: 12 games: 50 catches for 535 yards (10.7) ypc), 5 TDs. Named first team all A-10 for the second year in a row.

2004: 43 catches for 520 yards and 3 TDs. (12.1 ypc) Named 1st team All-A10.

2003: 44 cacthes for 448 yards and 4 TDs. (10.1 ypc)

 

Jonathan is an undersized pass-catching specialist who has a little bit of Shannon Sharpe in his game. Shows great body control, leans away from defenders to catch balls in traffic and does a decent job picking up yardage after the catch. Is a willing and decent blocker at the IAA level. Is not an explosive downfield threat, but has enough speed to stretch the seams and must be accounted for on every play at his level. May never get big enough or strong enough to be a full-time TE at the next level, but may be converted to a slot receiver and is probably the best athlete and current pro prospect on his team--including IAA all-world QB (soph) Ricky Santos, and outstandingly productive junior recevier, David Ball.

If Jonathan gets a combine invite and runs better than 4.65 and benches more than 15 reps, expect him to have an outside shot to be drafted late as a project. He will definitely be in an NFL camp next summer, regardless of whether or not he hears his name called during the 2006 NFL draft.

And finally

Zach Alcorn TE Black Hills State

 

Class 2006

Height 604.0

Weight 255

Speed 4.60 (Unofficial)

Position TE

 

Stats

2005: 43 receptions for 689 yards (16 ypc) and 7 TDs.

Named to 2005 First Team All Dakota Athletic Conference Offense

 

Playing for tiny Black Hills University in South Dakota, Zach has a great combination of size, speed and catching ability that good tight ends at the next level possess. His fantastic numbers over his college career forced NFL scouts to travel out to the small town of Spearfish, South Dakota to watch Zach play in person at Black Hills. Zach was invited to play in the inaugural 2005 Magnolia Classic in Jackson, Mississippi and, if not drafted, should have an opportunity to be signed as a UDFA.

I heard there's some guy- I think his name is Everett out of U Miami- the Bills should give him a look.

Now I remember why I haven't been posting much, people are so quick to criticize and they usual do it by completely exaggerating posters intentions. Your post is a perfect example of that. One poster mentions we should take a look at Scheffler who is a small school LATE round prospect. I mention we should take a look at Jennings as a small school LATE round prospect. So from that your response is

Perhaps completely avoiding small school prospects would be a great draft strategy, after all we’ve hit on a ton of late round gems from big schools the last few years. Maybe the biggest mistake of all was wasting that 4th rounder on Terrance MaGee.

Agreed. I never said let's ignore the big name prospects, I simply stated that the TE position was relatively deep this year so insead of using the #8 pick in the first round on a TE, even a phenominally talented one, we should consider a late round TE who may develop into a great player. It is unrealistic to assume that successful teams are built soley on a strong first and second round draft. The Bills have to look for talent is the later rounds as well, especially in a position of lesser need such as TE.

Kzoo, I found this bigboard list on Billszone, not sure who put it together but it had both of the Western Michigan boys listed as players the Bills should consider in the later rounds. Did you create the list?
