Apparently played baseball there too or D’arick?

Gotcha! I didn’t want to offend anyone

It’s a joke. Happens all the time here. Remember all the drama over Ed Egan who snubbed us for the Cowboys last minute? Brandon Reilly? David Sills? Message board legends.

Well I didn’t buy the whole Dodson has a chance to start deal. Now I kind of have to. He’s only 24 years old about to turn 25, been in the system 4 years now. He has good size and athleticism. He has hung around this long because McDermott loves him. Remember that he served a suspension coming into the league. There were red flags…yet the Bills held on to him, stood by him, and he worked to stay. If I am a betting type man, I would say it’s his job to lose. I feel like McDermott maybe wants to give Dodson a real shot at this. However, I do think Baylon Spector is going to give him a run for his money. He has instincts and athleticism. He is a few pounds lighter but more athletic. Spector is also 24 going on 25. So there isn’t any advantage there. Dodson has all that experience over Spector. What Spector was lacking in was functional strength and if he got after it this offseason, he truly has a shot. I just keep going back to how good he looked in preseason and he was a difference maker playing at a high level at Clemson. One other thing is that he played in the 4-2-5 as a stacked backer at Clemson, which essentially what the mike is asked to do here…though he spent most of his time as a will, I think he can play the mike. To me Bernard isn’t in this thing. He’s smaller than these guys, and I just didn’t see anything last year that told me he could step in and be a starter this year at mike. He also played in that 3-4 type front at Baylor so the job and run fits are quite different. I think he is still two years away and in my mind, Dorian Williams is already better. I dunno. To me Klein is the vet you have around as insurance if this all goes FUBAR, but I am not sure he is a truly a starter anymore. I like Dorian Williams and I think he can play mike. He played it for 3 years at Tulane. I think Beane’s apprehension about playing him inside is that he likely feels Williams will not be able to step in and be the green dot guy right away. IMO the only guy in this draft who could have done that was Campbell. Williams is only 21 goin on 22 and started at Tulane for 3 years. He is likely not ready but the upside is there. If I recall, McBean were super apprehensive about Tremaine being the guy calling the defense as a rookie. They had their doubts and said some of the same things they are saying about Williams now, but Tremaine picked it up quick. I could see the same thing happening here. So to me it is Dodson vs Spector (if he got stronger) with an outside chance Williams blows them both out of the water.

Any undersized white wide receivers guys can obsess over for a couple of weeks?

I believe that Ngakoue rumor someone posted a while back. He makes sense as a hired gun who can get you 10-12 sacks in a part time role.

This dude can ball. Really good feet. Quiet pass set. He’s a technician, but nasty and like Torrence trying to drive guys into the ground. He ran a really slow 40. Other than that his athletic testing is very good. You guys are going to love him, you can’t just look at fancy highlighted scores on websites when analyzing OL.

He worked out with Adam Henry. He must have liked what he saw. He knows more than me.

Just starting now?

He practiced some at center at the senior bowl.

Perhaps they will try to work D. Edwards at RT as we kind of discussed earlier in the off season.

Different type of player and athlete.

Iron sharpens iron. He’s better than Boettger/Mancz etc. He can also play center. He also gives you another guy who could probably get you out of a game at tackle (same way Bates can). He’s nasty. I like it.

He’s nasty and versatile. Kid will make it. He was a LT who moved inside. He can play center too. I love this pick.

I still want Nick Broecker, maybe a safety or Tucker.

Also trading with terrible teams, so these picks should be higher in the rounds.

Probably means they don’t have guys worth these picks so he is trading them in for next year

He wants to go home probably

Did they cover this on TV? ESPN seems to be chatting about each pick.

They got 230 and the texans 6th next year

Brandon Hill?

Well out of all those guys, Hallett is gone. Who knew?

He doesn’t seem to like to pick in clusters.

runs 4.39, explosive too

What if Shorter was who they wanted in the 5th and thought they could still get him if they traded back?
