HUGE numbers from Roberts!

 

Has to have pushed himself into the middle of day 3 with a total XP of 72 (better than any LB at the combine) and a 40 time in the low 4.5's

 

One of your guys for the Bills? If so, how would you deploy him in the Rex scheme?

I'd love him as competition for Preston Brown's role.

 

I think he's a Mike, but I'm not shutting down the idea that he can play the Will (I really want to see his shuttle and cone numbers).

 

His biggest assets are his effort and his nose for the ball. He's switched on all the time; he finds his way to the ball. Instincts are excellent in the run game.

 

Not sure how ready he is to play any kind of serious coverage role, but he did look okay at times dropping in Houston's defense.

Thanks for the breakdown. :thumbsup:

By Jared Dubin | CBS Sports Staff Writer

Howie Roseman keeps talking about the importance of an elite RB, something his team doesn't have. That's why Ezekiel Elliott makes perfect sense at No. 8.

For the third week in a row, we have the same top seven picks in our mock draft. The fun starts when we get to the Philadelphia Eagles at No. 8. We've had Philly filling a hole in the defensive backfield the last couple weeks, but GM Howie Roseman's comments this past week about the importance of an elite running back have us thinking differently. Doug Pederson's squad tabbing a running back at the top of the draft has a ripple effect up and down the rest of the board, ultimately impacting the Bears, Dolphins, Lions, Falcons, and Colts, as well as Washington and the Chiefs, Steelers, Cardinals, and Panthers. Are you ready? Let's get to it.

Kiper: Jared Goff is the top QB on the Big Board
It's the season of pro days, another part of the draft process that might not seem like a big deal, but still matters. Pro days don't typically shift evaluations a great deal, but they can't go unnoticed either. You have players who didn't complete all the workouts at the NFL combine (such as Laquon Treadwell, who skipped the 40 in Indy), and you also have guys who are out to prove they're completely healthy after finishing the college football season on the shelf. I don't have many changes on this updated Big Board, but once again I can't say pro days don't matter. As I say every year, it all matters.

@SalSports

It's 1:05am and I just posted my first mock draft of 2016. So, tear it apart and I'll catch ya when the sun rises: http://www.wgr550.com/CAPACCIO-Mock-Draft-1/22602256

19. Buffalo Bills - Darron Lee - LB, Ohio State

With the loss of Nigel Bradham, the Bills have a huge hole to fill next to Preston Brown. Bradham also took the only real speed the Bills had at the position to Philadelphia with him. Lee can step right in and play, something this team needs their first-round pick to do, and he’ll replace that lost speed with even more of it. Lee is a former high school QB and CB. He ran a 4.47 forty at the Combine (Bradham ran a 4.64). That speed and his experience playing cornerback will give the Bills a LB who can cover running backs and tight ends, as well. Something the Bills really need.

Buffalo Bills: Sinestro

It's no secret that Rex Ryan likes defenders who can intimidate opposing quarterbacks. What better fit for his defensive scheme than a man who feeds off the fear of other people? Sinestro comes with a number of red flags, namely his banishment from the Green Lantern Corps, but Ryan proved with his signing of Richie Incognito that he's not afraid of giving people second chances.
