Reed83HOF Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 Thad Brown @thadbrown7 19m19 minutes agoMore If Nate Peterman is as pro ready as everyone says he is, TJ Yates should be more nervous than Cardale. Tyrod doesn't need a vet babysitter. Greg Gabriel @greggabe 38m38 minutes ago Nate Peterman will become a starting QB in Buffalo. He's this years Kirk Cousins
Boatdrinks Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 No RB picked to replace Gillislee. Fire Whaley already. Lol... it's looking like they think more highly of J Wil than Rexy did

YoloinOhio Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 @salsports Bills final draft tally: 3 offense 3 defense ALL 4-year college players (rare for 1 class) Outside of QB, all versatile 4/6 can play ST
OldTimer1960 Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 STRENGTHS Team-first player who played through severe wrist pain for almost the entire season. Sophomore season proved how productive he could be when allowed to play in the middle. Instinctive and quick to anticipate play flow. Takes aggressive contain angle when needed. Has a good feel for most efficient path to the ball. Maintains run fits and looks to spill the ball wide whenever possible. Plays with reactive athleticism to break down and quickly redirect his weight into runners trying to cut back. Shows a willingness to take on lead blockers with a leveraged shoulder. Good play speed with range to chase from sideline to sideline. Athletic enough to handle deep Cover-2 drops if called on. WEAKNESSES Angular frame with very short arms and may not be able to carry much more functional mass. Has never matched production total from two seasons ago. Below average play strength. Will struggle to unlock from a strong punch and fight back into the play. Could have issues leveraging his gap in the NFL. Can be washed away if he doesn't trigger downhill and stay one step ahead of blockers. Lacks thud behind his pads as a hitter. Has had issues sliding off of tackles. Has had to deal with injuries over the last two seasons and had to shut it down this season due to worsening of his wrist injury suffered in September. SOURCES TELL US "You might as well throw out this year because the guy was in a ton of pain all year long. It was obvious that something was wrong early in the year. I hate going all the way back to his sophomore year but I think you have to at least look at that tape to get a feel for who he might be able to become." -- NFC regional scout NFL COMPARISON Dominique Alexander BOTTOM LINE Vallejo's outstanding production his sophomore season is one of the things keeping him alive in scouting circles. From a physical standpoint, he's an undersized inside linebacker who lacks the long levers needed to keep offensive linemen off of him. His instincts and third-down ability are plusses, but he'll need to find the right 3-4 fit or attempt to move to an outside linebacker role in a 4-3. Vallejo has NFL backup potential. Taking a shot on him getting healthy and hoping for what he flashed two years ago. This is the kind of pick that happens this late in the draft - players with some redeemable quality and hope they can be good special teamers and decent depth.
MAJBobby Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 This has been on of my favorite Bills drafts in a long time. Cant wait to see their UDFAs

Good draft in my opinion and getting a 1st next year helps..Filled some holes and got depth.. Go Bills
Captain Murica Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 Hodges picked by Vikes Still hoping for Phoah Brown to not get drafted I wanted Hodges or Kittle. The only thing I was disappointed in this draft, no safety or TE selected but maybe one of the undersized LBs will convert over. Other than that I'm pleased with the result seeing as we landed an extra 1st rounder.

Nitro Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 The Bills are working the phones contacting guys who might be undrafted. Hope they get 10-12 guys to bring to camp that have a shot at special teams.
PromoTheRobot Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 Jerry Sullivan @ByJerrySullivan 33s33 seconds ago More Vallejo was second-team all-Mountain West as sophomore, honorable mention last two seasons. Did he peak in 2014? Must...find....snark...
Nitro Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 maybe a Barnidge signing coming It would not be a bad idea to sign him
RaoulDuke79 Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 Not a good look for Chad Kelly. Zonked out on the couch.

OldTimer1960 Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 Must...find....snark... Sullivan is STEALING money getting paid for his mindless negative drivel. I won't even click his links anymore. Every article is: "this team <select Bills or Sabres> is hopeless. <GM or Coach> should be fired. Everything just sucks and nobody is competent. I don't need to research the situation to understand why certain decisions were made. My superior powers of extreme negativism will carry me over. My analysis is that they suck, but don't ask me to analyze why or how to improve the situation beyond firing whomever is currently in charge."
