/dev/null Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I know we want a TE, but that OT from South Carolina is still there a Cook went to Tennessee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I don't think they'll draft Casey even if he is available. The Bills value blocking ability at TE and Casey, for all his ability as a receiver, isn't considered much of a blocker at all. The Bills really liked Pettigrew, that's for sure. But, they also supposedly liked Coffman if it came to Rd 3. So, I don't know what their criteria is for a 4th Round TE. They may be willing to take good receiving TE with questionable blocking ability. I think they take a guy who is at least a "willing" blocker, if not a good one.

The Bills value blocking ability at TE and Casey, for all his ability as a receiver, isn't considered much of a blocker at all. They should... "No team throws the ball more than Rice, which helps explain Casey's 111 receptions for 1,329 yards and 13 touchdowns in 2008. Casey was too busy catching the ball to block in the Owls' spread offense. Turns out he's not alone. Most of the top tight end prospects in this year's draft class didn't block out of a three-point stance and won't necessarily have to do so at the next level."

I think they take a guy who is at least a "willing" blocker, if not a good one. I agree, they do value blocking TEs, but with Fine and Schouman capable of handling blocking duties, maybe they'd consider Casey as a receiving TE they can rotate in with the other two guys. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they take a guy who is at least a "willing" blocker, if not a good one. I agree, but if they draft a TE here, I think it'll be Shawn Nelson and not Casey. He's not a particularly great blocker, but he will make the effort. That said, at the rate its going, I expect them to draft either a LB or DT.

Virgil Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Michaelfromgermany, I just have to say that I laugh whenever I see your location. When most people live somewhere that they think most people don't know where it is, they instead say they live near somewhere that is easily recognized. In your case, you picked Heidelberg, and I have absolutely NO IDEA where that is. Never heard of it. I laugh at myself and my ignorance of other countries more than anything else, but still funny to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heitz Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 If they don't draft an OT, I think that Jaime Dukes' head will explode - he's been yammering on about how crazy the Bills are because they didn't replace Peters for two days now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not a particularly great blocker, but he will make the effort. That said, at the rate its going, I expect them to draft either a LB or DT. According to Mayock... Outside of Oklahoma State's Brandon Petigrew, who's the No. 1 tight end in the country, none of the top prospects have shown they can block." Casey falls into a group of catch-first tight ends that includes South Carolina's Jared Cook, Southern Miss' Shawn Nelson, Florida's Cornelius Ingram, Missouri's Chase Coffman and Wisconsin's Travis Beckham. They all project as "move" tight ends or H-backs, who can line up in various places in the offense to create mismatches. None of them came close to matching Casey's numbers at Rice. "Casey might have the best ball skills of anyone at his position," Mayock says. link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying that *I* wouldn't be happy if the Bills drafted him here. I just don't think it'll happen. To me, the Bills have one average TE in Derek Fine who does nothing well, and one Shouman, who does nothing at all. We will probably need two of them. I think it would be very reasonable to draft Nelson or even Casey (who can't block) because he does a LOT of stuff well, and also sign a veteran FA TE who is known as a blocker. Those can be found anywhere. I still think Scheffler must be on the block though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
