LEBills

Would be a good day 3 addition to the CB room

Troy Franklin is my WR4 after the normal top 3 receivers i think if someone takes Byron Murphy ahead of Johnny Newton they are going to regret it. Payton Wilson is the most fun LB to watch in this draft but Nathaniel Watson will be the biggest bargain Chris Abrams-Draine is small but looked good in reps against Nabers and Legette Give me Mo Komara and Marcus Harris on day 3

Give me all the Troy Franklin and Brenden Rice stock One thing to keep in mind with McConkey - who is a great receiver - on this chart is he only had about 150 pass plays this year per @DCOrange Google doc which is less than half most the other top guys so the smaller sample size may affect it.

Hey @Virgil, can’t wait for the Mock. I’ll do the Position of Need to help out

guess nfl.com went off his senior bowl weigh in then.

cut his weight down to 207. Weighed in at 215 at the senior bowl and the combine

I think you are right that 28 is most likely a WR. Franklin is going to be an amazing pro so hoping it falls this way.

I agree Odunze is #2. Odunze’s game against Oregon State where he put the team on his back, on the road (Washington was an underdog in the game) in bad weather where Polk and McMillan were dropping everything. Best performance of any WR this year imo. I’m not sure I’m ready to give up future picks for him because I do like WR who will be there for us, but I think he would be amazing in Buffalo.

Elam actually had a pre draft visit too that got reported just before the draft like you said https://www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bills/2022/04/buffalo-bills-2022-nfl-draft-top-30-visitor-tracker-cb-andrew-booth-jr-rb-james-cook-among-recent-visits.html Kincaid is the only person we have drafted in the first round without a top 30 visit (outside of the Covid years). For Kincaid we were his last zoom visit. My head canon is that Beane wasnt expecting him to be available at our part of the draft, then as things got closer and he thought he may we squeezed a zoom visit in with him.

Im enamored with Burton as a deep threat. His character is the question mark so being around him would be the best way to see if he has matured

cornerback coming round 1

Will Harbaugh make him wear a Michigan uni instead of a Chargers one?

Teair Tart may be the most talented guy left but the Titans waived him last year for effort and attitude issues.

WR and IOL are definitely what I want the Bills to invest in. Give Josh weapons and protect him are top priority. McD can have the day 3 picks. prefer WR first round and IOL second round though

Yea I’ve watched a lot of Franklin and I didn’t come away feeling his hands were a problem. They aren’t as good as others in the class but his explosiveness - what I think many of us feel our offense lacks - sets him apart. Just an example of how consistently explosive Franklin was this season. He had a 30+ yard reception in 12 of 13 games. That 13th game he was hurt in the second quarter and gutted out the rest of that Pac12 championship game. Nabers and Odunze were tied for second at 10 games a piece. He also had 7 games with a 40+ yard receptions which was more than Nabers and tied with Odunze in 2 less games.

Agreed. Maybe it makes them recheck the tape if the times are out of sync with what they had seen on tape. But Rousseau was criticized because his agility and explosive scores were very poor at his pro day. https://twitter.com/MathBomb/status/1387977896178892801/photo/1 Kincaid couldn’t work out predraft because of an injury. We drafted both in the first round still.

He’s WR4 imo, would be great if we got him at 28

Just an example of how consistently explosive Franklin was on top of his huge yardage. He had a 30+ yard reception in 12 of 13 games. That 13th game he was hurt in the second quarter and gutted out the rest of that Pac12 championship game. Nabers and Odunze were tied for second at 10 games a piece. He also had 7 games with a 40+ yard receptions which was more than Nabers and tied with Odunze in 2 less games. Aka he’s a beast

supposedly sick at or just before, I’ll take his great season over the combine performance

Troy Franklin (WR4 imo) has a private workout with the Bills, per Tony Pauline: https://www.sportskeeda.com/nfl/news-insider-notes-2024-ucla-wisconsin-oregon-pro-day-braelon-allen-missing-troy-franklin-shines

I really wanted to add him in 2021 before he signed with Washington. He really balled out his last season in Carolina, leading the league in reception percentage that year and being a beast on third down. I’m excited they gave Joe Brady someone he had a lot of success with who will be good on those quick screens. My fear is that the Bills will see this as being good enough at the WR position and forego it early in the draft. We are one of two teams - the other being the Bucs who had Mike Evans and Godwin - who have not drafted a WR in the first three rounds in the past 5 years. I still really hope we draft a WR at 28. Whether the rook is WR2 and Samuel is WR 3 or 4 or vice versa this year, our WR room as a whole will be much more talented and prepared for next year when Diggs will likely be gone. So in short, love we got Josh this weapon and let’s keep it going in the draft Beane!!!!

Goes by Bub so that’s a positive right there. From the very little amount I can find of him on YouTube…day 3 X receiver. Not quick in the short and intermediate but once he picks up speed he can outrace corners deep so his forty time and below average 10 yard split makes sense on tape. Was not done many favors by his QB this year. See him as a player that if you miss out on the first two tiers of X receivers early, you can target late as someone who has the measurables to develop into that role for you.

Yea as a person who rostered Davante Adam’s on my fantasy team in 2022, I hated the sniper Mack Hollins lol he had a good year
