That's No Moon

They do like their RAS champions.

If he's not starting one day one, whether he makes the team or not depends on his ability to play some amount of guard. They can't keep a #2 center only player. There's no roster space for it. This would be a reason he dropped. If you're taking this player you need to believe he's better than your current center. If he's not, or it's close, you are going in another direction. You want this kid to start and shove McGovern back to guard.

Maybe he just meant they were going out for Mexican later on.

Did anyone take that DB from the Argos who didn't play college football?

I wonder if he might convert to TE. Dude is huge and can run. Rather than beef him up and teach him to block (which rugby doesn't do) drop 15 pounds off him, get him even faster, and have a tank of a TE. He's used to running with the ball.

If he's center only, and doesn't long snap, it's hard to make the team unless he's starting. They aren't carrying a pure backup center.

Those smaller school guys are often able to transfer to bigger schools before they finish college football

Maybe they did the work and then concluded they didn't want him.

A question is, will the modern rules permit defenses to adapt to that style of play. Can't hit "defenseless" receivers, can't hit QBs really at all, more difficult to tackle people from behind at all since you can't grab anything near the neck or shoulders or land on people's legs, etc.

DeJean would be very good on this defense. Versatile guy, makes a lot of plays. Gives you a lot of options in coverage.

And also because he was relatively unproductive over 3 years at two different, very successful, college programs. He had one good year. He's far from a slam dunk choice.

It's pretty widely discussed. Other than the kid coming out and saying it IDK how to provide what you ask for.

You're right. It is easier to manage. That's why if it's currently poorly managed it begs the question why.

It's type 1.

If he's not managing that given what he does, with the resources of two different major football programs with all the resources a player could ask for that speaks to a lack of maturity as much as anything else. It's not about the Bills managing his diabetes, it's about him managing his diabetes. Could he start? Sure. Why would he begin now if he hasn't already?

I mean, we didn't get a ton, but it's more than zero and Beane clearly had a hardon for that 3rd the league boned us out of.

4 5ths, 1 6th, 1 7th.

This is ...not accurate.

We already own two second round picks now so, yes? I don't think that's what you meant though.

He did? "Shakir averaged 36 yards per game last year, so I wouldn't point to him as this major coup of a pick. Buffalo's best draft pick used on a WR in 6 drafts is a 4th on Davis. And he was so good they let him walk in UFA. McBeane have found most of their production from UFA or trades at the position in a league which prioritizes them in the draft."

Dude did say best pick used on a WR.

I know what they have. They have 3 more choices than the minimum and they didn't acquire any of the extras today. It's a deep draft in certain positions. WR being one of them. Overall it's not. I doubt they use all of those 5ths on players, I'd expect them to be packaged up to move up and I doubt they keep the 6th or especially 7th. They will try to flip them for picks next year or include them in other trades as in a 5th to get up into the 4th. Something like that.

I don't dislike the player. I have a Kevin Bacon style connection to him and it would be nice to have him. Backs are scary though.
