What's with the baby sized LB's

[Figster]

Milano is going to a safety LB hybrid

My thoughts also,

 

MCDermott wants some big bodies roaming the secondary

I hope so. I also hope they are not too slow or don't have the instinct for the secondary. It would be nice to see our D round back into 2014 pre-Rex form. !@#$in Rex really did a number on us.

If they put 10-15 pounds of muscle on these guys will the still be under sized?

[John from Riverside]

 

We just drafted two undersized LB's. Kind of strange? Are they going to convert to safety or does McD want to play small.

 

Bills (From Patriots through Broncos)

Milano, Matt LB 6'0" 223 Boston College 5.3

 

Bills

Vallejo, Tanner LB 6'1" 228 Boise St. 5.1

 

Dion Jones?

Who cares. They hit very hard and dont miss tackles.

 

Perfect WLB prospects

Exactly

I love this post

Two words that make me cringe at draft time.. "tweener" and "undersized". Probably because the Bills used to make those picks earlier in the draft when they thought they were outsmarting everyone.

not if they put on 15 lbs and keep the speed, but that may be a year away.

They snagged Vallejo before the Panthers. Remember reading somewhere that Vallejo was scouted by the Panthers.

Haven't you read anything about McDs defense?? We need athletic LBs that can cover in zone.

Milano has played and may transition to safety, according to McD.

Sweet we could use a safety with some size.

[BuffaloFan68]

Can we switch Logan Thomas over to LB to cover Gronk. Lol

Go Buffalo!

These linebackers are better fits in a Tampa 2. Maybe Frazier will run it...

[Mike in Syracuse]

It's almost as if people don't realize we play Brady twice a year and the league is running 3,4 and 5 WR sets routinely.

[Saxum]

mcd cares about two things: character and cuteness.

At least he does not prefer dirtbags and there are a lot of them in college.

He was only LB who visited the Panthers and Panthers told his agent there were planning on drafting him.

Dion Jones....6'2 220 pounds

 

What is so hard to understand about these picks?

[dave mcbride]

ST is important. Carolina arguably lost the SB because of a badly blown tackle on ST.

[CEN-CAL17]

Thomas Davis was a Safety size LB his rookie year. A Safety out of Georgia...

 

In a few years these guys may be playing at 230-235 lbs.

 

Kiko is 230-235....

 

So many arm chair QBs here

[Coach Tuesday]

Echoes of the Jauron years.

[JoeF]

We have three bigger slower guys in Lorax, Ragland and Brown. We desperately need a coverage LB.

Yes. Bills need the underneath coverage LBs who can tackle and not be overwhelmed by the occasional run or screen when in the nickel. Plus these are both core special teams players.

[Rjmarkin]

Thomas Davis was 230 when he entered the nfl....
