I’ve probably watched every snap of Carters PSU career. what stands out is his explosiveness and closing speed. Especially obvious from the second level. I think his best position is 3-4 OLB. Not that he can’t play a 4-3 DE (which is what he played last year), but he is a bit light for 4-3 DE, and his speed seems to fit best at 3-4 OLB. Like TJ Watt, no need to get tangled up with OT at LOS.

I think the Super Bowl showed us that press man coverage is better than elite pass rush. Mahomes was getting the ball out in less than 2.5 sec vs Bills. So he beat the pass rush with his quick throws against Bills zone. Eagles pressed KC WR so Mahomes had no one to throw to at 2.5 sec. Allowing Eagles rush to take him at 3+ sec. Even though I think Carter is better than Parsons — more explosive, better short area quickness—Take the elite man press CB.

I was listening to a couple Bills podcasts over the wknd. many podcasters and fans seem to think we should package a bunch of picks to move up in the top 5, because we need a “difference maker” on defense. off the top of my head, most impactful defense players are Chris Jones, TJ Watt, Maxx Crosby, and Miles Garrett. Watt was late 1, Jones was 2, and Crosby was 3. I don’t think you need to get into the top 5 for a difference maker. Given the draft selection is inherently imperfect with today’s technology, I think it’s smarter to take multiple picks in rounds 2 and 3.

.?? I would guess that half, or at least one third of 2025 actual first round picks were viewed as 3rd round or lesser picks prior to the season.

My memory is a bit hazy, it I’m pretty sure a MLB team sent a little person up to bat as a pinch hitter. Pitcher couldn’t find his strike zone and he walked. but after that it was ruled illegal; something about a MLB clause and “travesty of the game”

KJ Winston will be a 10 yr starter in the NFL. He’d be my pick. 6’2” Ran a 4.38 40 prior to ACL in September. 6 mos later he ran a 4.50 at PSU pro day. Had zero missed tackles in 2023 Hes projected as a late second because he missed all but one game in 2023 after ACL injury. Right now, Bills have three very average safeties, and Bishop, who is still learning. Even though safety isn’t a desperate need, I’d consider him if available at end of 2.

Followed by 20 yrs wondering in the wilderness. We weren't "right back" with Johnson/Flutie.

This guys is super talented. Could be the next Tyreek Hill.

I cant remember. Is he the one whos always injured, or is he the one whos always on X?

Good post. really think Ronde Moore could be a good fit. Also, some of those DL young busts sound intriguing. Would you have any pictures?

I think you have it reversed. He came in at 310 lbs, now has lost weight and is 267 lbs. Sorta like Lorenzo Alexander.

Agree that Slayton is the best fit for Bills now.

Great site! I really like the list, although some of them are reaching pretty high.
