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

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.

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.

I could see them cutting Anderson in the final cuts and making him a coach.

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!

Has a player ever been cut and immediately become a coach? Honest question.  And would they get their player salary or a coaching one?

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

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.

I don’t know if it’s happened before but he’d be paid as a coach.

I think you are right.  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.

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.

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.
