Corner and Ellis on the practise squad?...

Sal Maiorana from the D&C thinks they could go on the practise squad.

Are the bills really that talented that we can afford to not play a 3rd round pick? I think he's crazy, both those guys will play this year imo.

 

Is there something I'm missing here?

I was amazed too after reading that article....WHo ever puts their 4th and 3rd rounder especially when these guys can contribute (at least Reggie Corner) in the practice squad....

 

They guys have really gone nuts......Practice squad is usually reserved for your 7th rounders and UDFA......

i agree...and i thought Eliis made some plays and looked pretty good for a guy just getting his feet wet.

I think (hope?) he's flat-out wrong about Ellis, based on his competition for that fourth DE spot. But Corner? I believe he's made the team, but if they decide to keep both James and Youboty ...

 

I also think there's no way in hell they can sneak Corner onto the practice squad if they do release him. Someone -- Cleveland, perhaps, which was desperate enough to trade for bust Travis Daniels -- would take a shot on him.

Pretty Lame article for a veteran reporter. Let's hope he at least got the starters right.

Remember this is a reporters conjecture at this point. The Bills haven't done anything like that yet.

Meh, Crhis Browns prediction looks solid though: http://www.buffalobills.com/blog/index.jsp?post_id=3932 allthough he keeps 6 WR over 5 CB.

Buggs and Costanzo over Spragan, Youboty over James. Those are keeping in line with the Bills' youth movement, although I think James could contribute here. Massaquoi over Courtney Anderson? That one I'm not sure about, but he's seen the team far more than I have. Neither one would be here without the injuries to Schouman and Fine.

 

And I'm in total agreement with him about keeping both Jenkins and Steve Johnson.

Don't they have to clear waivers first? There's no way they clear waivers.

 

Agreed. Reggie has shown too much this preseason that other teams would want, and Ellis, not so sure on him, but as a situational pass rusher, he'll be too good to pass up.

 

If anyone from this draft class, put Stevie J or Xavier Omon on the Practice Squad.

If you try to put corner and ellis on the PS, kiss them goodbye. They'll both be claimed on waivers before you can blink. I think Omon makes the team over Wright. One thing Wright has been good at is putting the ball on the turf, and that cant make jauron happy.

100% agreed...especially with not being able to sneak Corner onto the squad

Exactly.

 

Just out of curiosity, when was the last time that an NFL team cut a rookie 3rd round pick?

 

 

2007. The raiders cut Quentin Moses by accident, by placing him on waivers, with someone messing up paper work. He was claimed by the cards, then cut, then claimed by the dolphins. Moses was the 1st pick of the 3rd rd. Not a rookie, but the bears recently released Michael Okwo. A 3rd rd 07 pick lb out of Stanford. The odds of a rookie dend with the raw ability of a Chris Ellis. You can kiss him goodbye. The Bills are not set at dend by any stretch.
