Astro’s Detailed Ranking of Players the Bills Covet Based on Time Invested

[ChevyVanMiller]

Great points ranking of who the Bills met with at the combine by Dean Kindig (Astro). It’s predicated on how many coaches/GM were present and how many times they scouted them or are having them in for a 30 visit.
 

Based on his research WR Roman Wilson and DL Kris Jenkins are two players to keep an eye on.

Based on that....Oh great, another mid round LB 😆

Brian Thomas Jr is also up there

First, I like any man whose name rhymes with "shindig." Second, I have no idea what "chartreuse" is.

If I'm reading this right,  this looks more like game attendance than individual meetings.   The numbers are always the same for players from the same school.  All three Texas players score 3.  The two Michigan players score 15.  The two Georgia players each score 7.   Florida State...both score 6. 

 

I'm not sure it means much.

I could not get passed that. Why not say "bright green"?

Both those 15 visit guys I would say are 2nd round possibilities.

Correct. It's based on how many times we scouted them in person/who was in attendance. It makes sense that a school like Michigan (played more games than everyone else, had more NFL talent than everyone else, played against top notch Big 10 schools, and is a shorter flight for us to get to) would be at the top. I'd like to know more about where the points are coming from in some of these cases. For example, did we go specifically to scout Iowa (in which case, you can probably deduce that DeJean is a target) or were they simply playing against Michigan?

Exactly. We're football fans. Not godd*** interior decorators.

[TheyCallMeAndy]

I might be wrong, but in years past I’m pretty sure who they visited with and had on a pre draft tour didn’t actually wind up being a good indicator as to who they’d draft.

 

Nice job for Astro all the same, though 👍🏼👍🏼

Because when you go trout fishing, you buy the chartreuse power bait, not the bright green one

Somebody needs to explain this to me

I think Astro's other write-ups and charts on that site are easier to follow. I am not sure how much correlation there is to the final picks but it is interesting. He puts a lot of time and effort into his "hobby".

Maybe this will help - my breath is chartreuse.

This chart looks like it was made by Butch from the East Side if people remember him from the old BBMB

The score doesn't make any sense.  They have no idea who the scouts, Beane, or Brady were there to see.  I would be more interested in seeing when they met with specific players one on one and how much time they got with said player.

 

Roman Wilson for example is not someone I think they Bills have over scouted to the degree his report suggests.  He isn't very physical, is fast, but not "special" fast, isn't great with YAC, has durability concerns, and is a mediocre route runner.  But yet he is supposedly the guy the Bills staff has scouted the most just because someone from our staff watched the National Champions play?  

 

This is a very flawed system.

Is that the whole of his excel sheet, or just a screen shot of part of it?

Yeah, I'm like angry at words.  There's like too many of them and stuff.
