Oh God yeah not sure I want endure that torture again. Maybe watch until McGee’s kickoff return. Then probably advisable to shut it off. Ole Dick Jauron bend but don’t break.

How high do you guys think Gabe Davis would have gone if this was not such a deep class?

It’s hard to tell. Gilliam looks to be a pretty good blocker from all accounts. Posted a combine video of himself running in the 4.5s but it is hard to say how accurate that is. I think out of our UDFA, Gilliam, Adams, and Williams seem most intriguing. Unless of course we decide to sign Turk.

It’s a good comp in terms of their style of play, but Justin Smith blew up the combine, so he was a ridiculous athlete at a large size. He ran faster than Zach Moss with a 4.64. Smith was a little smaller and had pretty short arms. But play style was similar, Smith just a bit smaller and more explosive.

I mean, I added Diggs on Madden and he’s really good.

One good thing is that Austin Jackson, the guy the Dolphins drafted can’t block him. So that helps Going forward.

I honestly don’t understand how they get this stuff under the cap

Blankenship went to the Colts. Will compete with our UDFA from last year Chase McGlaughlin.

I went back and watched the Senior Bowl on my DVR. Jackson looked okay. I think he was great in run support and coverage in the short/intermediate areas. Got burnt by deep speed from Denzel Mims a couple of times. But good tools for a 7th round pick. Seems like he should have went higher and he’s a guy, who at worst could eventually transition to a safety role. I do really like the way he tackles though. Maybe a core special teamer.

It really is silly when you think about it. For him I think the other issue was that without a pro day he wasn’t able to improve it. I went back to the DVR and watched his workout from the combine and after his second 40 DJ said “He’ll be able to get that down under 5 seconds at his pro day.” So everything just kind if feel for us.

My comp was like a longer Derek Wolfe, kind of a Aaron Smith of the Steelers a few years ago. I feel like Schobel was a bit smaller and not as long, but yeah Epenesa has a power game that I am excited to watch.

I think they have some similarities, but Watt is a slightly more athletic guy. Better 40 and 3 cone and just a bit more speed in his pass rush game.

Probably see a bunch of releases like this over the next few days, soI think we still look to free agency for depth in the secondary and Tedric Thompson and Daryl Worley are two guys that make a lot of sense to me. But I am interested to see who else gets released.

Agreed. He’s a good dude by all accounts but 29 now. In a tough spot to be a free agent now after the draft.

He did a bunch in pre-season in that video I posted on the previous page. I trust McBeane, but I’m not impressed with Vedvik. They must see something there. I really think passing on Turk, because we have this dude and Bojorquez is a missed opportunity, but I guess only time will tell us.

It’s a trap. Vedvik has got a number of shots and sucks when the lights are on. From what I saw he was rugby punting in college a lot as well which gives guys a running start.

Here’s some Turk:

Also did this, but rugby style with a running start:

meh. pretty much righty bojo. Very inconsistent. A lot of line drives.

Nah, Epenesa was the read there, some people call it power read or inverted veer. He was supposed to be unblocked but the qb should have pulled it way earlier. Its on the QB and the coaches for calling that.

This hurts the coverage team as well

https://mobile.twitter.com/michaelmpturk?lang=en Religious dude I think Turk is Pat McAfee without the schenanigans.

Havent seen an update on that. He and the South Carolina punter still out there. Maybe we should all start tweeting at Turk to get him to come to Buffalo?

I have no problem with the process. I just hope we got the right one. My problem with the Hopkins pick is that Brandon McManus and Jason Myers were UDFA that year and both better than Hopkins. Draft a kicker, fine, just make sure you are really getting the best one.

Chargers are a sleeper I think. I’m not a Tyrod fan, but that defense is stacked and added Chris Harris and Kenneth Murray. Really good secondary etc. They have offensive weapons and added Trai Turner and Bryan Bulaga to thier offensive line. With Tyrod’s ability to protect the football, and their ability to run the ball with Ekeler, I think they have a shot to be sneaky good. Biggest issue for them is that they have no left tackle. I’m guessing they sign a Jason Peters or something to hold down the fort. People have them way too far down on the docket imo.
