I would not take a tackle in the first few rounds. We have pretty solid tackles. The Guards are the big issue. Go get a big time TE and WR. You do realize Dawkins and McDermott are the only tackles on the roster right? 2 1

Could it be that ebron was stuck with an overrated QB and a revolving door at HC/OC and got out of there and proved his draft position in a better situation? Or not? You’re “smart” you tell me
Elite Poster Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 Noah Fant is shining in this combine. Absolutely shining. 1

The TDs weren't there but the yardage was pretty consistent especially with how much of a tire fire Detroit has been. 1 minute ago, Clyde Smith said: Any update on Irv Smith? He's doing well. In terms of the guys that are standing out it's him, Fant, Hockenson, and some guy named Kaharre something like that. Edited March 2, 2019 by Elite Poster 1

Alphadawg7 Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 6 hours ago, Buffalo Barbarian said: wouldn't mind seeing Hakeem Butler, kid really fights for balls ,makes tough catches and can fly, probably the closest thing To Calvin Johnson in a long time. Metcalf is the one who compares to Megatron and is drawing those comparisons. Butler is more lumbering with his long stride and drops too many passes. I’m worried a bit about Butler, more i read on him the more he sounds like James Hardy did coming out of college. Ill still I’ll be stoked if we got him in 2nd, but just some deja vu when I read about it him.
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 Rich just read some official 40 times on the air, I remembered these three: Fant 4.50, Irv Smith 4.63, Hock 4.70 1

I won’t be able to watch any of this live, only reports later on, so I caught a few of the agility test reps for Taylor and was truly impressed with his mobility and agility. Doing it while not at 100% is even more impressive. And I know the various team personnel love the idea that he wants to be out there competing with an injury. Havent seen Dillard, it will take your word that he’s impressive. I haven’t been impressed with Jonah Williams very much going back to Alabama’s season opener. He’s decent but not dominating. I think he will be better inside. I love Risner’s fire and versatility. But again, I think he’s best suited to an interior role. He worked out at center at the Senior Bowl so I think pro personnel folks maybe think the same way. I have both players slated at C. 2

Ertz was 4.76 but it would like to be a little more dynamic if top ten. I’d like to see the other quickness drills to see if he measures up in those areas. I think he will still find success in the NFL. I never thought of him as a 40 time burner, rather I always liked him as a well-rounded all-purpose TE that would be that team-first guy that fits the model the Bills are looking to fill. I thought his draft stock has been a bit inflated by his supplanting Fant as Iowa's go-to guy last season, but he is still a quality (high value/low risk) pick IMO. I am hoping his 40 does turn some teams off and that he drops - it would make him more of an option for teams looking to have someone step on the field and contribute pretty quickly. I also like a few of the other TEs available in this draft, but I think Hockenson is and will prove to be the best blocker of the bunch and he has good enough hands and speed to be a mismatch in coverage.

Interesting analysis
wppete Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 I’m sold on Hockenson. Hope we trade down a few spots and draft Hockenson.
N.Y. Orangeman Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 Sternberger and Knox are great options after round 2. Warring is intriguing as well 1
wppete Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 Anyone else notice a Buffalo Bills coach is running drills for TEs today at the combine.

He was a BEAST in the blocking drill. Looked like he wanted to drive the dude back into the tunnel and kept going a sec after they yelled break. Matched his tape Also some guy named Kahale Warring is a reeeally natural catcher of the football. I wonder if he can block at all 1
WideNine Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 16 minutes ago, Clyde Smith said: Any update on Irv Smith? He shocked folks that he came in as the smallest TE @ 6'2" and with the smallest hands. You are usually looking for a size mismatch and blocking ability, as well as the hands to find success with contested passes. Not sure why Irv Smith did not convert to a WR role in college - perhaps his 40 time was an issue... not sure, but there are plenty of WR's this year who are bigger than Irv Smith. 1

gonzo1105 Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 Fant drops the wheel route pass right in his hands. I want to research how many TE's that ran under a 4.55 have had success in the NFL. I know of Vernon Davis but there aren't many. Being a freak athlete at TE doesn't always translate.
whatdrought Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 Run on QB’s started by Murray going one leads to the Skins moving up to 9, we take hock at 15. 1 1 1
