The Buffalo Bills need a fast, athletic OLB. Jalen Reeves-Maybin is both of those things. He's quick to diagnose and fire towards the ball and our defense has a need for a player with his skill set. He's also a very good special teams player, where his tackling and speed are on full display.

 

If it weren't for injury concerns, I think JRB would be a late 2nd - 3rd round prospect, but the injury concerns are serious: He's an undersized LB at 6'0", 230 lbs. and he's already had 3 shoulder surgeries, his last to repair a torn labrum in October 2016. The Panthers, with McDermott as their DC, did happen to draft Shaq Thompson in the 1st Round a couple of years back. Shaq Thompson is 6'0", 228 lbs, almost the identical size of JRB. Both have similar skill sets, a skill set you would think Mcdermott covets as evidenced by the 1st round selection of Thompson. If Reeves-Maybin, and it's a big if, can get that shoulder healthy, he could be a steal in the 5th round range and I think there's a legit chance he'll be available at that point.

 

Any SEC or Tennessee fans care to chme in? I'm pretty impressed with this guys skill set, & think he could be a real nice find later in the draft.

Imagine if the Bills draft Mike Williams and Maybin.

 

That would be amazing.

Hilarious... yet disgusting at the same time..i think I could digest the Mike Williams drafting much, much easier than seeing the name Maybin on a Bills uni again. 👍🤢

We should've drafted Clay Mattews or Michael Oher or Jeremy Maclin or Brian Orakpo instead of Aaron Maybin. I remember saying Who is Aaron Maybin
