I think he is a nice fit for some of that big nickel stuff McDermott likes. Quintin Morris makes sense too. I watched bits of him and thought he was a PUDFA type who would have a chance of making a PS somewhere and eventually finding his way onto a roster. I'm actually a bit surprised by the quality of this UDFA haul..........I didn't think the Bills would do well at all in UDFA..........but with the exception of McCloud these guys were all seen as likely-to-be-drafted back in January before all the gymnastics events pushed them down. Obviously, what these guys lack mostly is explosive traits. Glad we got your guy Thompson, maybe he will be an exception. 1

Gainwell went in the 5th and is a really good receiver with speed. Same goes for Carter who went in the 4th. We don’t have speed in the backfield unless you’re thinking of Breida, who’s never been able to win a job against avg competition. Breida has 4.38 speed. Carter is 4.55 which is slightly faster than what Singletary and Moss run. Gainwell ran a 4.44. Neither was considered a top prospect either, going in the 4th and 5th rounds. Maybe they'll surprise but most likely they'll fare no better than Breida. Edited May 2, 2021 by Doc 1
Milanos Milano Posted May 2, 2021 Posted May 2, 2021 Sucks that Darius Stills signed with LV. Wonder if we will sign a DL with the last remaining slots.

Turbo44 Posted May 2, 2021 Posted May 2, 2021 Still think we need a backup 1 technique behind Star. Whether that comes from UFA or UDFA is the question
BADOLBILZ Posted May 2, 2021 Posted May 2, 2021 5 hours ago, GunnerBill said: They didn't it as a "need" but they were open to a special player who could be a home run hitter. We know that because because Brandon Beane told us at his pre-draft presser. Special running backs with that talent do not make it to undrafted free agency. After the top 10 picks........ the results for teams picking RB's in the rest of the 1st round have been abysmal for the past decade+. Been some outstanding RB's in round 2 and 3 though so it would be interesting to see a deeper dive why picks 11-35 or so have been bad business for RB drafters.........I have my suspicions why. That said........while there might not be any Derrick Henry's in UDFA........VERY explosive RB's are found in UDFA.........Raheem Mostert, Matt Breida and Phillip Lindsey might be the 3 fastest RB's in the entire NFL. What matters is getting production from your running game.
Turbo44 Posted May 2, 2021 Posted May 2, 2021 With their current roster, Jacksonville drafting Ettiene was idiotic. 2

Whether that comes from UFA or UDFA is the question IMO it's only a 50/50 proposition that Star even actually plays this year. The Bills have had PLENTY of opportunities to upgrade their 1T with more of a stationary Star-type between last August and now and still haven't done it. I mentioned it earlier but Danny Shelton literally settled for a $1.1M deal with the Giants a couple weeks ago. He's younger and better than Star, simple as that. If the Bills were looking they could have had him with almost no impact on their cap. So I don't know what the gameplan is there either......... but with all of these outside/inside rushers that they've added maybe they actually are planning to play a lot less 1T. On paper they are looking like they might even go wide 9 up front........which would allow them to play both DT's in positions that make them more dangerous as pass rushers. Like double 3 tech's (which they used a little in the playoff game vs Baltimore). That invites teams to run up the middle. That wouldn't be Edmunds-friendly. Klein might be able to handle it though.

I think he probably really liked Toney given things urban likes ... would have been more palatable at 25 than 15 I guess. But it sure seems like he’s running the show down there. I don’t think we heard from their GM once.

Of course he's going to show up.......he's not going to walk away from that guaranteed money. The question is whether they deem him roster worthy at the end of August. I'd say that's a 50/50 chance for him or any other minimum salary level quality of player.
