Fingon Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 http://www.profootballtalk.com/2009/03/18/...visiting-bills/ As pre-draft visits continue, some agents are realizing that the best way to get the word out to the various teams about their guys is to share it with us. And, of course, I’ve just guaranteed receiving at least an extra 100 e-mails per day through late April. For today, we’ve been advised by the folks at Goal Line Football Management that Wake Forest safety Chip Vaughn will be meeting with the Bills on Wednesday and Thursday at the team’s facility. Each NFL franchise is permitted to host up to 30 players before the draft, excluding players who went to college or grew up in the immediate vicinity of the team. In trying to find out more information about Vaughn, we found this highlight video. It would be wise for more agents to put these on YouTube, frankly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sgbGgTFZ6k...visiting-bills/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fingon Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 Per NFL draft scout, he ran a 4.42 and is considered a late 2nd/early 3rd rounder. This might be our SS next year. http://www.nfldraftscout.com/ratings/dspro...9&genpos=SS hes 6-2 221 lbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingon Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 Per the drug store list "Tough run defender- sure tackler- effective coverage- good reads and speed" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bills_red Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Scouts Inc. Player Evaluations Overall Rank: 77 (3rd Round) Position Rank: 5 Overall Football Traits Production 2 Wake Forest red-shirted Vaughn and moved him from receiver to safety in 2004. He started two of the 11 games he played in during the 2005 season finishing with 25 total tackles, 16 unassisted tackles, .5 tackles-for-loss and one forced fumble. Vaughn started one of the 14 games he played in during the 2006 season finishing with 41 total tackles, 33 unassisted tackles, one tackle-for-loss, two pass breakups and one blocked kick. He also returned one kickoff for nine yards that year. Vaughn played in all 13 games in 2007 finishing with 105 total tackles, 62 unassisted tackles, 4.5 tackles-for-loss, one interception, 14 pass breakups and two fumble recoveries. Height-Weight-Speed 3 Vaughn has just adequate range but his height and weight are prototypical for the safety position. Durability 2 Durability doesn't appear to be a concern at this point. Character 0 N/A Defensive Safety specific Traits Recognition Skills/Toughness 2 Aggressive and can jump underneath routes. Very physical and flashes a violent punch. Sells out and makes ball carriers pay for trying to tightrope the sideline. Can lose track of receiver trying to read the quarterback's eyes and can get caught out of position. Closing Burst 3 Shows average to above-average closing speed coming out of backpedal but isn't as explosive coming out of cuts. Fluidity 3 Does an adequate job of opening hips when asked to cover the deep half of the field but lacks prototypical hip fluidity and is going to struggle if asked to turn and run with slot receivers Ball Skills 3 Tries to rip the ball out of the ball carrier's hands when teammates stand up the ball carrier. Shows just adequate ball skills and isn't much of a playmaker in coverage Run Support 2 Fills hard when he reads run and flashes the ability to shed fullbacks/tight ends/receivers. Plays a little too high and can get engulfed by offensive linemen. Relentless and prevented a touchdown-run because of effort in the third quarter of the 2007 Nebraska game. Shows above-average body control in space and reliable open field tackler that wraps up Trait Scale 1 = Exceptional 2 = Above average 3 = Average 4 = Below average 5 = Marginal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yasin's BILLS Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 looked pretty solid, although the ACC is a weaker conference now, in college football. But We'll see, I like Kevin Ellison, Keith Ellison's little bro, but I don't know the likely hood, of having both of the ellison brothers, on the team.

Bill from NYC Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 And so begins what sadly might be the idiocy of 09. Seriously, Dick Levy probably won't be able to resist Vontae Davis in round 1. Maybe he will do that and grab this guy in the second round? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsVet Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Another converted receiver. We've got the market cornered on receivers turned safeties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
