Has anyone actually confirmed Conklin visited? Joe B only has 19 and I think he would be pretty up to date on visits to the team

he was seen at the airport, I think. Let's hope he didn't make it to OBD :lol:

pretty much my thoughts on Ragland. Would he immediately improve the starting LB core on day 1? Yes. Would there be other players with a higher ceiling long term that we'd be passing on in favor of Ragland if selected at 19? Yes, most likely.

It's a wrap. The pick is Ragland #19 goes @ pick #19 to the Bills......... Channeling my inner Crayonz here ;)

So for something like the last 10 years running, the Bills have selected someone in the first round that has made the visit. By visit, I don't mean met at the combine or saw him at his pro day, but one of the actual 30 visits allowed to the team. By WGR's account (if they're right), there have been or as been scheduled 19 visits. Of those 19, there's only 7 that are on most boards that would be good first round value for the Bills, assuming that they stay at #19.

 

3 Linebackers - Darron Lee, Reggie Ragland, Leonard Floyd

2 Defensive Linemen - Shelden Rankins, Jarran Lee

1 Cornerback - Eli Apple

1 Offensive Lineman - Taylor Decker

 

I'll be interested who else they may add between now and draft day that grades out as first round value. I'm a bit surprised that we didn't see A'Shawn Robinson or Robert Nkemdiche on the list yet. Apple and Decker both appear to me at least, to be serious fall back picks if too many of the key positions of need are gone already. None the less, I've been saying it will be Jarran Lee for a long time now.

 

Interestingly, they've only scheduled visits with 5 guys that grade out where they pick in the second round, with two of their visitors kind of tweeners on the draft board.

 

Vernon Butler and Connor Cook should both be gone 15-20 picks before them in the second round. Butler would be a reach in the first to say the least.

 

The other three guys sitting right their on boards around their pick are Emmanuel Ogbah, Su'a Cravens, and Vonn Bell. This draft is shaping up to be defense-defense in the first two rounds, IMO. Regardless of what happens, I always look closely at the first round value visitors based on history.

Now that, boys and girls, is a vertical threat. Fully healthy, he's possibly sub 4.3.

 

Ran somewhere between 4.35 & 4.39 with a slight groin injury.

His hands are TINY though. 8 1/4" hands are usually a big no-no for a WR.

Yeah but as Bon Scott said he has BIG BAAAAAHHHHHHHHHhhlls!

 

9 1/4" isn't bad. At least that's what the ladies tell me!

LOL :w00t:
