Just looking ahead to round 2. Anybody know why TJ Sanders is in the late 90s of Daniel Jeremiah’s top 150? I really liked what I saw of him in a few games.

Ah a little surprised over Amos, but OK

Welp they have their pick now.

How serious are the injury concerns with Will Johnson?

I fear a run on corners starts about now.

Surprised they did not go CB

Still 11 picks before Bills

He might be, it’s the incomplete picture of his athleticism that is concerning. If they stick at 30 or trade up just a little and take him, I’d be happy. But to me to give up enough to go to 21 for him just seems too steep. You could be right though.

Ok, still similar point - little to no athletic testing and what little he did wasn’t stellar. I would take Johnson at 30 if available, but I would not give up too much to move up for him. My guess is he runs high 4.5 range if he wasn’t willing to run a 40. He also has had multiple injuries. Don’t get me wrong, I like Johnson but lacking his athletic testing scores is a little concerning for a CB.

How many guys who aren’t hurt were talked about as top 10 picks in January and now are not considered that highly? I agree that everyone thinks Revel is an elite athlete, but he hasn’t been subjected to the testing that others have and he didn’t play against top competition in college. If he is available at 30, I can understand taking Revel, but trading up for him with that uncertainty would be tough for me to justify.

Who is playing CB?

The league is also valuing DT who can collapse the pocket or penetrate on passing downs.

There are rumblings of injury concerns and he has declined to run the 40 all offseason, so questions about how fast and athletic he really is. Enough to make him fall out of round 1? I don’t know about that.

I understand what you’re saying, but I think I’d be satisfied with a 10 year starter who makes a few Pro Bowls. The argument that Emmanwori is more likely to be even better seems to be based purely on size-speed. We know that every year there are size speed guys who never do great things. I know it’s a philosophical discussion, but to my untrained eye, Starks is the better prospect. I also don’t think the Bills will pick either of them.

From Ourlad’s scouting service: “Red flag medicals are likely to bump down defensive tackles Deone Walker and Derrick Harmon along with offensive lineman Donovan Jackson and edge defender Nic Scourton, among others. “ They also think Kenneth Grant will go in the top 15.
