That's why he isn't Brandon Reilly either. Reilly had like 4 career touchdowns and I think we all liked the idea of Reilly, but it was a mirage. Sills is the real deal. Me and a few others were banging the table for him for the past few months and the last couple of days. The one thing that seems evident is that the dude is going to work his ass off, which is going to great for competition in the receiver room.

Nah im not saying that. I'm simply saying that he may have been in touch with the agent and may have had a feeling that Sills would make it through and took the chance. That's all. I think there is a pretty good chance that these guys have some idea of who will sign with them if they go undrafted. Like the Bills likely knew that Robert Foster was going to sign with them if he wasn't drafted, and that's why they drafted Proehl instead. JMO. I think there is a lot more communication like that than we think. Im guessing, and it is a complete guess, that Chad Hall is that guy. Terry Robiskie was the receivers coach and most of his attention would naturally be focused on the starters. The assistant receivers coach in Chad Hall would have been the guy working on Foster on the side imo. Robiskie would not have time for that. This may have had a lot to do with Hall's promotion.

This goes back to that old Sammy Watkins debate, but the cost of the trade was their second fourth. They traded from 112 to 96. The right to move up that many spots cost them 131, which is nothing. And they jumped the Patriots to grab him.

I tend to agree, it should be short and sweet. However I will say that if there were not guest announcers, the broadcast would not show any of the pics announced on day 2 and 3. They would just talk about the Patriots, Steelers, Cowboys, and Giants. I like the guest presenters becuase it forces them to actually show the picks and analyze a lot of them. Except for Taylor Rapp...when he got picked the Rosen news broke and they totally ignored his pick.

Ray was a RDE as Missouri and that is probably his best position. He is best with his hand in the ground and imo, he was was miscast in Denver's scheme. He's only 25 years old. While he only weights 245 lbs, his arms are long enough and he is very strong. He's about the same size as Eli Harold and I think he still has upside.

A couple of things. We will probably see a bunch of guys realeased in the next few days so that teams can add their draft classes and UDFAs to their 90 man rosters. That said, even now Ansah isn't the only guy around. Shane Ray, Nick Perry, Sam Acho, Josh Martin, Andre Branch are all names still out there. Personally, I'd take a shot on Shane Ray. But I would really wait to see what shakes free before signing Ansah.

Beane must have had pretty good intel that he would not be drafted and that he was likely to sign with them which allowed them to use picks on other guys.

Easley was MVP of the outback bowl vs Mississippi State. All of those stars in the game, Hockenson, Abram, Simmons, Sweat (Fant sat out) and Easley dominated the game and was the MVP. Interested to see what he brings to the table. I think he and Sills have realistic shots to make this squad.

Lance Zeirlein says his comp for David Sills is Josh Reynolds which makes a lot of sense. Had him as a 4-5 round pick. Btw, if anyone is a dork like me and still has the Senior Bowl on their DVR you can watch Sills, Jaquan Johnson, Tyree, and Tommy Sweeney just FYI.

In our scheme I would say yes. He understand route concepts really well because he thinks like a quarterback. With all the complimentary E-P routes in our offense, I think he has a great chane to succeed. He's probably not going to beat a ton of guys one on one, but he gives Allen a really big target and a guy who is going to go up and get it. Love the signing. Been banging the table for a while now.

Yes. But he actually produce and he had some real upside. He should have been drafted.

Sills! Let's go! That guy will surprise some people. He can go and get it and he's really smart. Super intrigued by Easley too.

McDermott does like wrestling

Nick Easley is the new Hogan-Reilly-Ed Eagan type hope.....But yeah he does look like a good get and seems like a great guy to play the slot behind Beasley.

The fact that we didn't draft any wide receivers actually makes us a good destination for WRs. . ill go: David Sills WR Anthony Johnson WR Andrew Wingard S Alec Ingold FB Blace Brown CB Hamp Cheevers CB Daniel Wise DT Some quarterback for rookie minicamp.

The Boston jokes are cute but he's from Jersey. Went to Don Bosco prep who dominates every year around these parts. ?‍♂️

Looks like he dominated his level. He's tall with long arms, big hands all that good stuff. So a projectable frame. It's a lotto ticket.

I'd go Alec Ingold and David Sills but that's me.

There used to be good info at nepatriotsdraft.com not sure if it's active anymore. Their last post was in June 2018

The will trade a bunch of them so they can get into position to draft Trevor Lawrence in 2021 ?

This is a special teams pick Imo. He will compete with Siran Neal who needs to take a step here this year.

Joseph will push Milano imo. Remember that Corey Thompson started a game last year and was terrible. So they are upgrading with a guy who can actually play, not just a special teams guy. Really nice pick and great value if you are into that kind of thing.

God I hate Trey wingo

They changed that rule like 2 years ago. I think the pick we acquired to take Knox was a comp pick.

Yeah I agree. Really highly recruited guy who has a had a weird journey, but he could be developed like a Jimmy G. Oh well.
