26CornerBlitz Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) The draft is done! CBS Sports: Dezmin Lewis Draft Profile STRENGTHS: Sports an athletic frame with good muscular development in his upper body. Savvy route-runner who varies his release and gait to create slivers of separation. Soft, natural hands to pluck the ball outside of his frame. Good awareness to avoid the first defender after the catch, showing some wiggle and a burst. Good recognition of the sideline to get a foot down in bounds. Smooth accelerator, though his top-end speed is a question. Good awareness as a downfield blocker, though he could show greater physicality in this area. WEAKNESSES: Lacks explosiveness as a runner and leaper. Relies on deception to sneak deep rather than possessing the top-end speed to challenge over the top. Doesn't consistently use his size to his advantage, mistiming his leaps and pestering rather than controlling opponents as a downfield blocker. Lacks the shiftiness and acceleration to generate much yardage after the catch and does not have the speed to pull away. @buffalobills With their 7th round pick, the Bills select WR Dezmin Lewis! #BillsDraft Edited May 2, 2015 by 26CornerBlitz
Mopreme Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Ironically their last pick saves this draft from a incomplete grade Ironically their last pick saves this draft from an incomplete grade
Nitro Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Big kid. Not a speed guy. 3rd down possession WR? Special teams talent.

Mopreme Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Could be a similar type player who Pitt drafted last year late, forgot his name but the tall guy who scored a crap load of td's.
NoSaint Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Big kid. Not a speed guy. 3rd down possession WR? Special teams talent. Practice squad
YoloinOhio Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 @RyanTalbotBills: Dezmin Lewis is a pretty solid pick. I know a few people had a 4th round grade on him. #Bills
PromoTheRobot Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) KC picks Da'Ron Brown ahead of us. Maybe they'll sign Da'Rick Rogers and have Da'Rick and Da'Ron. Edited May 2, 2015 by PromoTheRobot
Lurker Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 "Plenty of teams will surely be interested in picking him late on Day 3 (Rounds 4-7) of the draft (or earlier) due to his 6-foot-4 frame alone, but he'll have to round out his game further in order to become a complete NFL receiver. Still, his upside is tantalizing and it's easy to see why he could have a big impact early in his career." http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000480465/article/dezmin-lewis-zach-zenner-could-be-cinderellas-of-nfl-draft
YoloinOhio Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Big kid. Not a speed guy. 3rd down possession WR? Special teams talent. not a speed guy? He's 6'4 214 and ran a 4.46 @ChrisTrapasso: Lewis could certainly be a PS stash for #Bills. But his size and high-pointing skills are intriguing.
Clemson Bills Fan Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) Could be a similar type player who Pitt drafted last year late, forgot his name but the tall guy who scored a crap load of td's. Martavis Bryant. Have to say though he is a tad faster and also had some great plays against much better competition. Still a good comparison. I think it was a great way to end the draft. saw a lot of fourth to fifth round projections Edited May 2, 2015 by Clemson Bills Fan
YoloinOhio Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 @JaySkurski: #Bills 7th-round pick Dez Lewis brings size to the team's WR room. He's 6-4, 214. http://t.co/FtonCPvAcvprojected him as a fourth-rounder.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Very unimpressive draft IMO yep. it's like they don't know how to pick for their systems. Last year we pick big guys for Marrone's zone and this year we get small guys when we want to power run. Don't see O'Leary drive blocking anyone.
NoSaint Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 KC picks Da'Ron Brown ahead of us. Maybe they'll sign Da'Rick Rogers and have Da'Rick and Da'Ron. They already did sign him this offseason
Fan in San Diego Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Thought they should have taken a flyer on that Collins Tackle
