I don’t think he’s Mahomes, but some of the flashes are similar and some of the flaws are similar coming out. But Rattler was probably way overrated coming in and probably a little underrated coming out. We shall see! That’s fun of the draft and looking back at these things!

I guess my thing is that perhaps he was not ready for that at the time. But I hear you guys and you guys are 100%. I just think there is a lot of talent there and a good chance he winds up having a better career than some of the other guys at the top.

Spencer Rattler...put him on Washington, or LSU, or Oregon, or Michigan or Florida State or whatever and I just wonder if the results are different. There is something about him...I'm not typically a small quarterback guy, but I find him interesting in terms of the arm talent and athleticism. The wrist flick on some of his deep throws are just different. His college film isn't much different than Patrick Mahomes' was. I think if Rattler gets in the right situation he will make it.

I like comps. Do you have a comp for Thomas in your mind? What about Leggette? Walterfootball compares Thomas to MVS and Leggette to Breshad Perriman. I would be pretty disappointed in both of those outcomes. ESPN compared Thomas to Tee Higgins and Leggette to AJ Brown.

Packers, Eagles, Lions

Gotcha! Yes totally. Failed prospect who is more expensive and would cost capital. Same idea.

I mean they are both failed prospects but Isabella is 3 years older. They are completely different players. Burks is big and slow and Isabella is tiny and fast. They both suck. Burks' change of direction scores in the 3 cone and shuttle etc are just awful, no explosion either. Neither's game translated to the NFL so far.

Nice work everyone! Thank you @Virgil

It tracks that the messenger of the gods would be busy

I like her back. I’ll have it anytime!

I agree. I really like Shorter and was happy we drafted him at the time. As much as I like him, expecting anything at all from him is pointless. We have absolutely no idea what he can do and for all we know he is Vosean Joseph…redshirt a year then out of the league.

I just hope they don't fall I love with some guy they know they can get. Like a Tez Walker. Now, I really like Walker, but I could see them reaching for him because he is a guy they like and they know they can get him. That's what the Kaiir Elam thing felt like to me. Some guy that a lot of people had in round two and they took him in round 1 and traded up for him. To me, that is the only way they blow it. They should be in position to get a pretty good player in the 20s.

This is all I found: https://www.syracuse.com/buffalo-bills/2024/03/nfl-draft-2024-buffalo-bills-top-30-visitors-zoom-meetings-and-private-workout-tracker.html And this is from Walter Football: Braelon Allen, Running Back, Wisconsin (COM) Graham Barton, Offensive Guard, Duke (COM) Trey Benson, Running Back, Florida State (T30) Khristian Boyd, Defensive Tackle, Northern Iowa (T30) Javon Bullard, Cornerback, Georgia (COM) Calen Bullock, Safety, USC (COM) Stefan Cobbs, Wide Receiver, Boise State (PRO) Keon Coleman, Wide Receiver, Florida State (COM) Cooper DeJean, Safety, Iowa (COM) Marlon Devonshire^, Cornerback, Pittsburgh (PRO, WOR) Audric Estime, Running Back, Notre Dame (COM) Braden Fiske, Defensive Tackle, Florida State (COM) Troy Franklin^, Wide Receiver, Oregon (COM, WOR) Frank Gore Jr., Running Back, Southern Miss (COM) Jalyx Hunt, Outside Linebacker, Houston Baptist (COM) Curtis Jacobs, Inside Linebacker, Penn State (COM) Kamren Kinchens, Safety, Miami (COM) Marshawn Kneeland, Defensive End, Western Michigan (T30) Kamari Lassiter, Cornerback, Georgia (COM) Xavier Legette, Wide Receiver, South Carolina (COM) Jalen McMillan, Wide Receiver, Washington (COM) Adonai Mitchell, Wide Receiver, Texas (COM) Byron Murphy II, Defensive Tackle, Texas (COM) Bo Nix, Quarterback, Oregon (COM) Patrick Paul, Offensive Tackle, Houston (COM) Javon Solomon^, 3-4 Outside Linebacker, Troy (COM, VIR) Brian Thomas Jr., Wide Receiver, LSU (COM) Edefuan Ulofoshio, Inside Linebacker, Washington (VIR) Devontez Walker, Wide Receiver, North Carolina (T30) Tez Walker^, Wide Receiver, North Carolina (COM, PRO) Johnny Wilson, Wide Receiver, Florida State (COM) Payton Wilson, Linebacker, N.C.

He's a 79 in Madden!

What is journalism anymore anyways. Lazy and unprofessional. You get fired at any other job for that type of mishap. This is not serious, kind of tongue in cheek, but this is a bad look.

This is literally gold New Era. Nice work.

Ruggs still probably thinks he didn’t do anything wrong.

I wonder how much it takes for that dude to get drunk.

Yeah I’m down with Coleman. The 4.6 is a little scary, but so many guys the board clamors for the last couple of are “slow guys.” Davante Adams, Deandre Hopkins, Tyler Boyd, Mike Evans, Cooper Kupp, Allen Robinson…with a guy his size I am not sure the long speed matters all the much. I still prefer Brian Thomas, and after that Mitchell is my guy, but Coleman to me is in that same tier and I’d be good with him.

For the people who want him, Tyler Boyd is just a pure slot guy. Way more than Samuel or even Shakir. He is also going to be too expensive for what he provides. I like the idea of versatile guys like Samuel. Boyd is not that. Good player, doesn’t complement the room.

He makes sense. They have been pursuing for awhile now and he provides a little stopgap, takes some pressure off the young guys and whoever we draft. Plus we have Adam Henry here. I would do it and still draft a guy round 1.

I mentioned in the other WR thread, go grab Terrance Marshall from the Panthers. He’s big, fast and still just 23 years old. He played for Brady at LSU and was drafted for Brady’s offense in Carolina. He was given permission to seek a trade in the fall and that was before the Panthers added Diontae Johnson and David Moore. He is just buried down there for whatever reason and needs a change of scenery. I get it that he isn’t the number 1 or whatever, but he knows the offense, he is big and fast and can catch the football and there is a pedigree there. He is an outside receiver. He should also be very cheap and Dan Morgan obviously is connected to the front office here. Sometimes these guys just get buried. These trades for aging veterans on huge deals just isn’t going to happen. Anyone think of any other young guys buried from regime changes or trades? The only other young guys who are buried that I could think of are Texans John Metchie and the Browns Cedric Tillman. Whatever happens and whoever we add, I am still taking a 1st round receiver and I think the mid trade up for Brian Thomas makes the most sense.

Jefferson, Lamb, Chase won’t ever make it to free agency. But I do wonder about Nico Collins…I’d take him over all those other guys.

Man Thomas is perfect for this team. Hopefully he drops since he is a quiet guy like Smith says. He’s a perfect fit.

Dawson is overpaid for sure and that is the biggest issue with his spot on the roster. But he protects Kincaid and kind of allows Kincaid to be more of the finesse slot receiver as Knox can handle some of the dirty work. They already paid him and I think he is here the next two years because of the dead cap. But I haven’t moved on yet. For so many years we have been searching for tight ends and now we have two. I’m clinging hard to those guys. I do think we are at our best in 12 personnel, so I think he still has a role.
