LEBills

Yea man, he is a really good WR. Him or Tez as like our WR6 would be a good back of roster player with a chance to develop. White has decent length for his size, if he can add enough weight he could hold up on the outside but his frame is pretty narrow

My personal 2025 WR rankings: #21 Tez Johnson WR Oregon (rd 4-6) - Lightest player at combine since Aaron Lockett in 2002 - Bo Nix’s adopted brother - Unguardable at Senior Bowl practice What does he do on film? Excellent crossing routes and speed slot - :01 you will see him kill people on crossing routes at all depths, very good at getting lost in the traffic - :19 seriously send him on crossing routes at all depths - 3:23 takes the contact from Denzel Burke and runs through it, stacking and burning for a long touchdown. YAC and missed tackles forced - 3:40 decent leg drive through contact, and a long strider - 3:48 when up to speed can maintain that high speed while adding ankle breaking cuts - 4:42 crafty in the open field. He is not big but you have to catch him first - 6:39 if you get a hand in him he goes down, but catching him is not easy Weaknesses: If he succeeds at his size he and speed, he will be an outlier of outliers Though he will run through shoestring tackles and juke defenders, he chooses not to fight for extra yards Slot only player who got most of his yards catching crossing patterns and with a lot of open space ahead of him Conclusion: One of my other favorite players in this draft, and one I’m nervous to rank this low. Last year when watching Troy Franklin I had to look up when he was coming out because he popped on film. Ultimately, if he is to have success it will be as a Tyler Lockett type starting as a punt returner and being a speed slot who preserves his body when threatened with contact

summer internship?

My personal 2025 WR Rankings: #22 Ricky White WR UNLV (Rd 5-7) -Transferred from MSU to UNLV -Above 3.0 YPRR vs zone (one of the more predictive metrics for future success) -Solid special teamer at UNLV What does he do on film? Three level threat - 8:30 quick pass to Ricky to allow him to use his blocks and creativity for an easy gain - 2:36 gets the quick pass, breaks a couple of tackles and good body control to extend to the EZ - 3:42 intermediate inward breaking route on an RPO, able to create easy separation for the catch then shows that yac ability Basically the same play at 10:42. Super effective. - 6:12 savy use of natural pick to create space and then run to his mark at back of endzone - 8:51 easy crossing route he turns up field for a big gain - 6:50 able to maintain space along sideline and have good body control on the back shoulder throw - 7:40 he just roasted Utah State over and over Excellent Zone WR - :20 does a great job following the QB along his passing windows and finding space between the linebacker and secondary - 3:30 again finds his zone and then shuffled along with the QBs movement to give the best throwing window Beautiful job in the red zone finding space against the zone for an Weaknesses: - Does not have NFL size or speed, he would be an outlier if he had success - Ambiguity about why he was not played and then transferred from MSU, especially since he helped them beat Michigan - Best fit is in the slot but not overly twitchy or physical Conclusion: It hurts me to have Ricky this low, especially because his 2023 tape was even better with a more explosive offense. One of my favorite watches of the class. Though he played boundary in college often, his best place would be in the slot where physical corners would not get into his body as easily. Should hang in the end of roster as a solid special teamer and savvy backup WR.

Ran anywhere between low 4.5 and 4.57 depending on the stopwatch is what I saw

My personal 2025 WR rankings: WR23 Jaylin Lane WR VT (Rd 6-UDFA) -Sub 5’10’’. Thick build with long arms and big hands. 9.53 RAS -YAC threat that has averaged above 8 YAC in each of his college seasons -Slot WR that was used on tunnel screens, crossers and end arounds -A capable punt returner What does he do on film? https://youtu.be/4lSTjB1raFc?si=ncysBxn5-Bo7OGmX -High end comp would be Khalil Shakir -The goal for the VT offense was to give him some room in space to let him create -As such most of his catches were near the line and so his route running is very lacking Conclusion: Team fit is going to be very important for Lane. A team that can scheme him touches may be able to use him in packages. Most likely path to a roster is at a punt returner and developmental WR.

I would be really happy with Hairston or Amos at 30. I’m not sure they would go first round if we don’t select them. Hairston is slender and missed half the year, Amos lacks top end speed despite how he timed in the 40. I don’t think the Bills will select Morrison due to his hip injury. Thomas I actually liked quite a bit more than I was expecting, though he had to grow on me. Seemed to get better as the games went along and got a feel for things and he totally beat WRs up by the end of games. Though you have seen more of him than me. Not sure if he fits the Bills defense great unless we do make a philosophy switch. My fear is we miss out on those guys though because the next tier of CBs is rough. If we don’t get one of those 4, I would just wait for Kone, Bryant or another day 3 prospect that makes it to our 4th round pick.

When I watch Farmer I see our old pal Jordan Phillips with his ability to knife into gaps. Some of the YouTube scouts think that some of his struggles in the run game and with inconsistency was with how he was coached at FSU. You certainly would be more familiar with that aspect of it, I know FSU was in tough shape this year.

Beane was at South Carolinas pro day. TJ Sanders, Kyle Kennard, Tonka Hemingway, Deandre Jules are all likely to be drafted from their DLine. Not to mention Demetrius Knight, Nick Emmanwori, and O’Donnell Fortune. (Dang writing those names out is like writing the transcript of that Key and Peele sketch). Bills took Landon Jackson out to dinner the night before his pro day. Bills met with Billy Bowman the night before his pro day And they met extensively with QB Taylor Elgersma at the UB pro day These are all per Tony Pauline: https://www.sportskeeda.com/author/tony-pauline-dda89

Yea I think the problem is Beane will overdraft for need. I think Hairston, Morrison (medical red flag), Amos and Thomas are early second rounders that may not make it to our pick.

Yea I think we basically have to go corner Rd1 because it’s a shallower draft there. Their will be good DL available day 2

My personal 2025 WR rankings: WR24 Andrew Armstrong WR Arkansas (Rd6 - UDFA) - Led the SEC in receiving yards this year (1140) - Is a hitch route merchant, catching 27 of these routes for 324 yards including 9 15+ yard explosive gains. -9.49 RAS, second in career yards per game behind Tet McMillan and a career Yprr of 2.57 What does he do on film? Very QB friendly -:17 large catch radius on errant throws -5:38 works his way back to QB on scramble drill Downfield ability -6:11 Does a nice job against the press to maintain good space between him and the sideline. Excellent ball tracking to come up with the over the shoulder catch. - 7:10 rinse and repeat - 11:42 ditto Toughness after the catch - 10:17 hit a lot of crossing routes throughout this season. When able to make the catch on the run has enough speed to get to the corner on underneath defenders - 10:30 a player who gains yac by running through defenders rather than away from them - 14:52 you see throughout the highlights Armstrong running slants against off coverage, giving his QB an easy target. Weaknesses: -Armstorng will be 25 in October, what you see is what you will get -Takes a long time to accelerate and does not have top end speed to run away from defenders -Lack of twitch means his best routes are the ones Arkansas ran him on - hitch, crossers, slants and 9s - where he can use his body to block off defenders and run through them after the catch Conclusion: Experienced WR with ability to make explosive plays but not home runs. Ball tracking skills are one of the things I look for as a baseline competency and he has it. Depth WR at best in NFL.

https://www.nfl.com/news/2025-nfl-mock-draft-daniel-jeremiah-3-0 Daniel Jeremiah’s recent mock: 30. Kenneth Grant

Some good talent evaluators are comparing him to Puka. Honestly I can see shades of it he just isn’t quite the athlete Puka is. Imagine he will go to a Shanahan protégé.

I’m going off this site, which could be wrong or not weighed for the missed game https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/buf/2024-snap-counts.htm I think even at 66% for Ed their is still probably space for TJ if that’s what Beane desired
