CosmicBills Posted February 27, 2005 Posted February 27, 2005 I was watching the Combine on the NFL network and this guy really stood out. He is HUGE and fast. From what I saw he doesn't have the acceleration that the other WRs have, and the announcers were saying he is a possible 3rd or 4th rounder. I would love to see the Bills grab this guy and move him to TE. Anyone know anything more about him? http://uncbears.collegesports.com/sports/m..._vincent00.html
BF_in_Indiana Posted February 27, 2005 Posted February 27, 2005 If the Bills make the move to get Shelton I would like them to go after Bubba Franks instead. If they frontload the deal they can land him.
MadBuffaloDisease Posted February 27, 2005 Posted February 27, 2005 He's one. Another I really like is Matt Jones, who was the QB for the Razorbacks the past 3 years. He's 6'5" and 240#+ and runs a 4.48! He's also a great athlete and plays basketball. Sure he's raw, but if he can catch passes well, he'd be worth a shot early-on. Another guy is Jerome Collins from ND. He's 6'4" and 257#, and runs a 4.53 40-yard. And being from ND, you know he's a good blocker, but again the question is his hands.
BF_in_Indiana Posted February 27, 2005 Posted February 27, 2005 I will say this, he has put up some GREAT numbers in division 1AA. He might be worth a pick. I would still like us to go after a proven player like Bubba Franks though.

I don't know if he would want to switch to TE though, he could be a good No.3 WR... Of course, I have never seen him in a game, so I have no idea how good he really is....obviously I would want Franks, but I don't see it happening.
TigerJ Posted February 27, 2005 Posted February 27, 2005 I see guys like Jackson and Jones as TE/WR 'tweeners. I don't think you're going to get much in the way of blocking out of them, at least for a few years. You can use them in the slot, and maybe as TEs in double TE situations where ther is a good chance you would want to pass to them, but you don't want them as your #1 guy.

Dwight Drane Posted February 27, 2005 Posted February 27, 2005 Great Eye! Of all these guys out there, he looked like he has the most potential to improve of all..and is a physical beast....big, smooth, and nice hands. You could put 15lbs on him, move him to TE and roll. I bet he goes high. After Antonio Gates did what he did this year, there have to be a few GM's who would jump at him. From a movement standpoint, flawless.

DeeRay Posted February 27, 2005 Posted February 27, 2005 If the Bills make the move to get Shelton I would like them to go after Bubba Franks instead. If they frontload the deal they can land him. Franks is getting the "transition" tag slapped on him.
BuffBills#1 Posted February 27, 2005 Posted February 27, 2005 These type of guys usually don't make it in the NFL as a first down TE. Not big enough to block.
