BuffaloHokie13 Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 Am I the only one that wants us to put Glenn Gronk in at LB to cover Rob Gronk? You know he'll be able to get under Rob's skin by jawing.

How can you not want this -kid MAN to be successful?
YoloinOhio Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 @christrapasso Zimmer had 81 tckls, 26 TFLs, 13 scks, 5 pass deflections & 4 FFs in 2015. He's definitely my pick for the UDFA to make the #Bills roster.
Astrobot Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 O C Robert Kugler: Described as a "Lunch-Pail Center". I like him already. Needs NFL weight room but lateral quicks to pull, vital for G-Roman 29m29 minutes ago #Bills sign Purdue OC Rob Kugler, 6-3, 294, 2x team capt, ex-Bills coach Sean's son, 43 consecutive games, played TE, pulls well. Good sign. I've been tweeting about this signing. He's likely to end up on the PS, but he's a nice addition to the G-Ro Offense. You likely remember the name as Sean Kugler used to coach here, Lockport native now head coach of UTEP.

I routinely get a kick out of the hype, however. The legend of Da'Rick Rogers, for example. Edited May 1, 2016 by eball
eball Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 Striker is the guy I'm most intrigued by. Athletic guy who goes full effort 100% of the time and was very productive at a major college. Only knock is his size. Could be a demon on ST and a situational pass rusher, and they could try converting him to safety.
JM57 Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 I'm guessing maybe two. Striker probably has a role as a STer and coverage LB/box safety hybrid. That DL has some freakish workout numbers, but dspending how raw he is, might be a better PS candidate. Baby Gronk would have to do a TON to unseat Felton
Astrobot Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 UB QB Joe Licata's best traits are football IQ and composure under duress. Impressed #Bills enough to sign him UDFA. Here's the best article I found on Joe: http://www.ubbullrun.com/2016/4/30/11528420/nfl-draft-2016-joe-licata-signed-to-a-tryout-with-the-buffalo-bills
eball Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 Geez, I just watched Striker's speech to his family after he wasn't drafted. Holy crap, what a stand-up guy. Hard not to root for this kid.

UB never had a great O-line and protection would break down constantly. But Joe was cool as sh!t in that pocket and sometimes made some great throws. May not have an NFL arm but he's ice in the pocket.
thebandit27 Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 Striker and Zimmer will make this roster. Striker has pass rush skills and is a plus athlete; he can also play special teams. Zimmer is a MONSTER. Built low to the ground, country-strong, and good lateral quickness. Not sure why he went undrafted. http://www.hogshaven.com/2016/4/8/11351530/washington-redskins-2016-draft-profiles-justin-zimmer-dl
