CEN-CAL17

This kid is going top 40 no doubt.... he was a high school track star, he’s gonna run a 4.6 40 yard dash. His 3 cone will be faster than a lot of WRs. 12.5 sacks, smart kid, can play in any scheme. He’s just a football player.

Uche is a great Edge guy. He rarely drops in coverage if at all, that’s not his role. I see him being a 3-4 OLB that just always keeps the edge or rushes the passer. I watch Uche at the Senior Practices in person and felt he’s more of a speed rusher only but not the fastest. Nowhere near as slippery as Baun. Uche will be limited. I’m really curious to see these 2 guys stacked next to each after the combine is done, numbers wise. Cause Baun is going round 1, guaranteed. Uche I feel is a round 3 guy with maybe a chance to get to round 2. He doesn’t offer anything but a speed rush. We will see. I was excited to see Terrell Lewis from Alabama. After watching him in drills, seeing how stiff he is in movement. How long and lanky he is. I’d just take him off my board to never be enticed. He’s a bust, bet on it...

Like any rookie, he’s gonna have growing pains. Lorax was listed at 6’1” 245. This kid is just as big as Lorax with easy potential to gain 5-10 lbs of muscle under a NFL team. When it’s all said and done, because of his ability to put him in many schemes from all over the field and his ability to rush the passer, he may not make it to 22. This kid is an NFL player and fits the Bills perfectly. A position we need, rely upon and could also be BPA.

I truly think a player to watch is Zack Baun. They call him Zack Sack, dude is 6’2” 240. I think an NFL club can easily get him closer to 250. Dude is quick off the ball, hard to block and is slippery. Wisconsin played him all over the field. Can drop back and stunt from a stand up edge rusher. 12.5 sacks senior year. Smart dude. I get it, everyone wants a WR. This FO has made it clear they don’t believe in a true #1 WR is necessary in this league to be successful, they’ve said it. But also this defense is the heart and sole of the organization. Losing Lorax is a big deal. He was a more dynamic player then most give him credit for. The guy would line up over the OG and rush. The right LBs and a heavy DL rotation is what makes this defense work. Vosean Joseph is not Lorax replacement, won’t happen. Unless they just stop running most to all packages Lorax ran. OLB/Edge type players are not deep in this draft, especially ones who are good in pass coverage. Zack Baun is that guy. He’s gonna run a 4.6 40 yard dash, be one of the quicker edge type guys and he will move up the boards. He’s already being talked about as a 25-32 late round 1 guy. Baun reminds me of a poor mans Von Miller but better than Miller in the pass game. Bills grab a legit WR at 54, maybe sneak up a couple spots (Ford) type move. Grab a CB in round 3. People should really start watching, keeping their eye on Zack Baun. Im all in on Baun. Edmunds, Milano and Baun as our LB Corp would be amazing. Grab a guy like Yannick Ngakoue. Scary. Id watch his highlights before replying. Dude flies around and makes plays. Of this style play, he’s by far the best in this draft.

Willekes is a effort kid, plays hard, showed fire at Senior Bowl practices. I see him as an average DE, not really an edge/OLB type guy. He won’t be dropping into coverage. I don’t think he has the length or speed to play DE at a high level. I see him being a round 4 type talent.

At 22... Possibly K’Lavin Chaisson LSU, some mock drafts have him going between 10-15, I personally think he goes closer to 20. Maybe Zach Baun LB Wisconsin. Been getting good write ups from the Senior Bowl. Solid player definitely a process guy. I think Wisconsin played him all over the defense, quick, great hands had 12.5 sacks this year. 6-2 240, may be able to get to 245-250. He’s more of a late first around 30, trade down perhaps. But after the senior bowl week, plus workouts, I could see this kid easily being our pick at 22. This guys has McD and his style defense written all over him! Julian Okwara. Definitely has the size. Almost used exactly how we use Lorax, he’s from Notre Dame. He’s a guy to keep an eye on. Pending workouts probably in April due to breaking his leg. But potential is high on this kid. Been Mocked in round 1, anywhere from 20-32. And Bradley Anea from Utah. At the Senior Bowl this kid had enthusiasm. Great build and size. Plays with intensity. Again, later round 1 potential, early round 2, could be a trade down scenario late round 1. Some May say Kenneth Murray from Oklahoma but I think he’s more of a true OLB vs edge/OLB.... but who knows. Realistically at 22, I think you’re looking at Baun and Okwara.

Yes, that’s correct.

I really see the Bills going defensive Playmaker round 1, OLB/Edge.... Theres 3 WRs I like Bryan Edwards South Carolina Brandon Aiyuk Arizona St Quartney Davis Texas A&M I think those 3 WRs will go between picks 50-75.

Im a fan.... thing is, I think he goes early 3rd. Kid is a stud

Watch his highlight video... it’s nice. And from what I saw of him this week I’m sold. I’d compare him to Jarvis Landry.

One guy nobody is talking about in Quartney Davis WR Texas A&M. This kid is impressive. I went to the practices. Strong lower body, thicker looking kid, great speed and route runner. Great hands and muscles through defenders to fight for the ball. 6’2 200 lbs. His build is what sets him apart. Had a solid game today too.... he’s in the third round talk, but I think he may be a steal. He’s legit.

You think Phillips is gonna get 5 yr $50M? Point is Star has a tough contract to get out of until next year. It’s what, $8M dead money if he’s released? You think Star is worth $10M per? If so, we can agree to disagree.

Dudes legit.... Also I Watched Joshua Kelley RB UCLA at the senior bowl. IMO the best RB there. Highlight video is pretty nice too.

Just looked it up... Wishnowsky and Charlton both averaged 47.7 yards a punt there senior years.

I watched Wishnowsky from San Fran punt last year at the Senior Bowl.... I think Charlton May have a bigger leg!!! I didn’t measure 1 of his punts during live drills but if I had to guess, it went from his 20 to the opposite 10-15... a few times may 15 to the opposite 15....

The punter from South Carolina, tall lanky kid in the North Squad, Joseph Charlton was booming kicks.... talking 65 yards.

I went to the practice today... IMO Van Jefferson is the best WR at the senior Bowl. Great hands, quick in and out of his routes. Someone mentioned his setup causes trouble. I can see that, I did see that. But 4 out of 5 routes he was abusing the CB. Soft hands. My Senior Bowl WR ranking: 1. Van Jefferson 2. Quartney Davis 3. Michael Pittman Jr 4. James Proche 5. Denzel Mims Claypool and Collin Johnson are probably fighting for that next spot...

If he was I didn’t see him. But who knows, there’s a lot going on. But last year he was easy to spot.

I sat right between the Dallas Scouts and the Falcons Scouts and they were both talking him up...

Senior Bowl 2020 Senior Bowl notes... mostly based on players that have been brought up here on the board, positions highly talked about and players that just look the part or made plays. NORTH DEFENSE Jason Strowbridge-Edge UNC- Physical Specimen. Looks like an NFL player. Strong kid, quick off the line, fought through a few double teams. Good hands, grabs and pulls to get through. Doesn’t get pushed around and can anchor down to hold the edge. Got his hands up and batted a pass, showed some fire! Alton Robinson- DE Syracuse- played a lot of stand up End. Not the fastest or strongest. Shows decent ability overall not too impressed. Has good size. Bradley Anea-Edge Utah- Great size, quick off the edge. Edge rush is all he has. Plays the edge well. Vocal kid, shows intensity at times. Solid build, strong lower body. Lamar Jackson- CB Nebraska- big CB, physical kid, loves to press and use his size, popped Claypool off the line with no problem. Jalen Elliot- S Notre Dame- Thick build, not the tallest, maybe 5’11”. led all drills. Enthusiastic. Confident kid. Vocal. Pretty good range playing centerfield getting to the ball. Evan Weaver LB Cal- Skinny lower body, but the kid is a baller, intense. Flys around, made a few plays. Effort kid. I guess this kid was a tackling machine this year. JOSHUA Uche- OLB Michigan- Quick, too small to play DE. May be a 3-4 OLB. Very solid build, not to tall. Fast around the edge, another guy that’s just a speed rush off the edge. OFFENSE- Adam Troutman- TE Dayton- Solid looking TE, physically looks the most solid of all TEs on the North Squad. Good route runner, deceptively quick. Soft hands. James Proche- WR SMU- Quick, led all drills, smallest WR on North Squad, accelerates full speed quickly after catch. Good hands fighting off defenders, at times defenders get the best of him due to strength. #1 punt returner, catches the ball with ease. Went up and caught a ball in triple coverage. Denzel Mims- WR Baylor- Tall Lean kid, decent speed, stacks the DB well. Excels on the 9 route. Not very physical. Great at the 50/50 ball, went up over CB on an under thrown ball. Chase Claypool- WR Notre Dame- Biggest WR on North Squad, looks the part. Good size upper body. Good hands battling defenders. Not fast off the line, builds up speed gradually. Slow out of breaks, at times drags his toes. Michael Pittman JR- WR USC- Decent size, shorter legs compared to Claypool and Mims. Small lower torso. Seems to have a lot of wasted movement in and out of breaks. Quartney Davis WR Texas A&M- solid size, thick lower body, legs look strong. Great hands, watches the ball in. Good speed. Quick off the ball. Catches the ball even in draped coverage. Fights for the ball. KJ Hill - WR OSU- slightly bigger than Proche. Not as quick and polished. At times gets lazy with his route running. Looks as if Proche May be faster as well. Gandy- Golden- WR Liberty- Not the biggest, not the smallest. Not physical. Decent hands, double caught a few. Not super fast, route running is nothing special but not bad. Dropped a deep ball, beat his guy by 3 steps. Whole crowd felt let down on a perfect pass! JOSHUA Kelly -RB UCLA- Impressive, compact running back, looks a lot like Singletary. Hits the hole hard, runs hard, great vision and ran between the tackles untouched 2-3 times for big gains. Solid build, looks to have a strong lower body, quick too. Dude is good! Tyler Bass- K Georgia Southern- Huge leg!!! Made 6 straight FGs. Made a 54 yard FG that would have been good from maybe 65 yards. MVPs- North Squad Jason Strowbridge James Proche/Quartney Davis Joshua Kelly Intriguing Player- Khaleke Hudson S Michigan SOUTH SQUAD Offense Kalija Lipscomb- WR Vandy- Shifty kid, in the same mold as James Proche. Almost identical in size. No where as good as Proche. Routes are not as crisp, Proche seemed better at press coverage. Van Jefferson-WR Florida-Decent size, fluid runner, smooth. Soft hands. Looks like Robert Foster as far as build. Probably best WR at the senior bowl. Route running is great, no wasted effort and speed through his cuts. Calvin Throckmorton- OL Oregon- Good size, quick feet. Moves smoothly and looks athletic but big. Dominated Zuniga on first rep. Playing LT. Dominated Lewis from Alabama. Throckmorton is this years Risner but more athletic. John Simpson- OG Clemson- Big kid. Anchors like nobody’s business. Won’t budge. Dude is powerful and he’s making the most of this Bowl practice. Collin Johnson-WR Texas- tall, but skinny. Nowhere near the build of Claypool. Did not look good against press coverage. I was not really impressed. DEFENSE Javon Kinlaw- DT South Carolina - Beast. Terrell Lewis-Edge/OLB Alabama- Lower body is skinny but he’s long. Lewis runs stiff, can NOT cover. Kyle Dugger- S Lenior Rhyne- Looks solid, fast kid, back pedal and turns with fluidity in drills. Under control. I need to find more on him. Azur Kamara- OLB Kansas- looks like a big FS. But he’s got good size. Think he was a late addition. Not very powerful. Once OL locks on he’s done. Not very instinctive. Jonathan Greenard- Edge/OLB Florida. This kid is athletic, can get low and bend around the edge. More quick than strong. Got pancakes by a running back on blocking drills. Beat Throckmorton on an inside move 1 on 1. Trevis Gipson- Edge Tulsa- strong, good size. Probably the thickest out of the group. Not super athletic or fast but looks better at the run game. DJ Wonnum- Edge South Carolina- Strong lower body. Was driving the LT 4-5 yards back. Solid looking kid, built just like Gipson. Gets over his toes at times and shoved in the ground. Anfernee Jennings- LB Alabama- Shorter kid. But quick, thick and diagnoses plays quickly. Reminds me of Dre Greenlaw from last year. Let me say.... McD and the entire Buffalo staff were locked on the WR drills. Last year Bobby Johnson was here, not this year. No Daboll this year either.

Throw in possibly Michael Pittman or whoever the draft pick may be... Brown, Beasley, Pittman, Duke, Allison, McKenzie Hows that look? If you think this FO is going to go spend $8-10M per or draft a WR round 1, it ain’t gonna happen.

I don’t see the FO drafting 2 WRs.... Brown, Beasley, Duke, Foster, McKenzie (rookie could replace him), Roberts (don’t see him back) Im thinking add Geronimo Allison in FA, and draft a day 2 WR....

Yes... Uche from Michigan, Jason Strowbridge of UNC, bigger kid. Alton Robinson from Syracuse has potential. The players I want to see is Darrell Taylor Jr from Tennessee and Jonathan Greenard out of Florida....

I’ll be there for Wednesday’s practice. I’ll have a big write up on standouts and Pros and Cons on attendees. Im excited to see the WRs. Last year I went it was obvious Deebo Samuel and Terry McClaurin were studs. WRs there this year are Bryan Edwards, Michael Pittman, Denzel Mims, Brandon Aiyuk, Van Jefferson, James Proche and more....
