I already crossed him off my list lol. Half his 1 on 1 reps he'd get open and then turn around and run into the DB. The NFL Network guys were cracking up at how dumb his routes were.

Just inject all this Senior Bowl coverage directly into my veins. Ever since Madden first introduced franchise modes and drafts and offseason development (basically ever since football became more broadly appreciated as an advanced strategy game/RPG with playable breakout battles/melees) I've been hooked on the roster-building machinery of an NFL offseason. 

 

Just so happens to have corresponded perfectly with the Bills drought era, oddly enough.

Legette was a one year wonder in college.  That automatically makes him somewhat more of a gamble than a WR who had three years of productivity at a big name school.  When you get to the tail end of the first round, however, there are bound to be a few more risks than drafting in the top five.  If the Bills are interested, they will need to do their due diligence in order to assess his coachability and his ability to address the shortcomings in his college game.  I compared him to DK Metcalf, but I was only thinking about physical characteristics.  He was listed at 6'3" in college.  If he's shorter than that, it kind of negates that physical comparison.  He's still got speed and he's got some body mass that can translate to power.

the drought trained/forced many of us fans of this time of year!

Darius Robinson seems to be the guy really getting a lot of pop. Some of the clips of him rushing he looks faster than I thought he looked on his Mizzou film. If teams believe in his ability to win around the edge he is going to fly up boards because he has the power and violent hands.

Pearsall reminds me of Nacua.

A couple nice reps from Legette here:

 

 

For everyone who was trying to bury Leggette after one Senior Bowl practice

These are really great vertical reps though.

I could definitely see Robinson to the Bills @28

Seems like a McB type pick.  I want WR, but if he’s the guy, I don’t hate it as long as we can trade up into rd 2 and snag a WR (preferably Polk, he’s my rd 2 WR draft crush this year).  Maybe trade down a few spots and draft robinson and then teadr up for WR.  Easier said than done, I know
 

Robinson is impressive.

Yeah either really great reps for the WR or really terrible reps for the DBs, it wasn't even close.

Yeah, there's definitely a bit of that that you have to keep an eye on with these things. I think the first one at least is just good WR; really strong stutter step and explosion there to freeze the corner and leave him behind. The second one was maybe bad CB.

Bummer. Was really enjoying watching Pearsall and Wilson this week.

He officially measured 6 1

He stood out in the Missouri games I watched.   But not late first round type, IMO.   I was thinking more 3rd-4th round during the season.   But some guys move up and edge players who have good workouts always get overdrafted.

 

Not a very good DL class in general.   I see lot's of rotational players, not many guys you want on the field 70-80% of the snaps.   The people who would consider Sweat in round 1 probably would have been happy with Mazi Smith in round 1.    And then were unaware he was on the field for Dallas when the Bills ran for like 300 yards against that front.

Don't think any of the WRs looked awesome today, but Brenden Rice was probably the best of the bunch. Rice and my sleeper Javon Baker both got hurt at some point as well; Baker ended up not returning. Rice did return.
