YoloinOhio Posted March 6, 2019 Posted March 6, 2019 (edited) Just found this cool tidbit - local kid from St Francis After an injury almost threw his NFL dream away, Jake Dolegala is ready to show he has ‘the best arm in the draft Edited March 6, 2019 by YoloinOhio 1
TigerJ Posted March 6, 2019 Posted March 6, 2019 As far as Buffalo is concerned, the team is set at QB. That said, they may want a 4th QB arm at training camp. It's conceivable they might try to stash a guy away on the PS (or IR) for the time when Derek Anderson retires. A tall big armed QB might not be the worst choice when your starter is Josh Allen. 7
wppete Posted March 6, 2019 Posted March 6, 2019 We need a QB for rookie mini camp. Important position, especially to evaluate UDFA WR, RB, TE and OL. 1 1

MiltonWaddams Posted March 6, 2019 Posted March 6, 2019 If nothing else, his is a great story of perseverance. Seems like a good kid. Hope he fulfills his dream. 2
PromoTheRobot Posted March 6, 2019 Posted March 6, 2019 They should take a look at Gus Ragland from Miami OH. He was impressive, great arm with accuracy plus mobile. 3
JESSEFEFFER Posted March 6, 2019 Posted March 6, 2019 UB Pro Day should be more interesting this year. Tyree throws to his guys, Anthony Johnson's 40, Hodge w/o the combine invite and something to prove and c James O'Hagen looks to be in line for an NFL shot. Probably some others I did not mention. I wonder if it will be at Ad Pro per usual or if it will be in the new fieldhouse on campus. I would think the latter could accommodate it but their may still be advantages to One Bills Drive hosting. It's a week away on 3/13 and I hope we get some better coverage of it than we usually see. 3

I really hate this thought process. We literally saw the best game of Barkley’s career. Both him and Anderson have career qb ratings worse than EJ Manuel. And Allen still has a long way to go. It’s would be so stupid (and Bills like) to just say we’re set at QBs. Now obviously, you’re not spending a high pick on a guy but this team should never stop searching. It’s only like the most important position in sports. But hey, we got Matt Barkley and Derek Anderson. Can’t improve on that! 35 minutes ago, Doc said: I could see them cutting Anderson in the final cuts and making him a coach. Has a player ever been cut and immediately become a coach? Honest question. And would they get their player salary or a coaching one? 3

I think this is DA's last year, so having a QB for the PS is a good idea 1

Is the new field house done? It’s been about a month since I last saw it and it didn’t look close to being done.

The video I saw showed the team walking into a fieldhouse for their first practice and I thought it was their new one as they looked to be checking it out for the first time. Their first practice was at AdPro though. Edited March 7, 2019 by JESSEFEFFER
zow2 Posted March 6, 2019 Posted March 6, 2019 Just remember this will be a UB Pro Day not an audition for the Bills practice squad. Typically I think the UB Pro day attracts anywhere from 7-10 NFL scouts. I would hope this year most of the NFL teams will be represented since we have some sure fire Bulls draft picks this April.

I’m aware, just thought it was interesting that he is going to meet with Bills

Yup, this is maybe the deepest nfl player pool in UB history. Jackson alone will bring more nfl teams. 1

With the 2 or 3 guys on the board that want Buf. to take a QB hopefully this meeting will send a message to them that this is the probable road to a QB. 6 or 7th round or UDFA.

Well, if Dolegala came in and set the team on fire, that could change Buffalo's thinking, but Buffalo has plenty of holes to draw the focus of their attention. I'm sure the personnel department continuously does research on all positions, but the more obvious needs are going to draw the bulk of their attention. Edited March 6, 2019 by TigerJ
