Bills 2nd Rnd pick in 2025 Draft : TJ Sanders - DT South Carolina

[jahnyc]

Interesting stuff about his immaturity and attitude.  Doesn't really sound like a typical pick by the Bills.  Must think they can get him to do what is needed.

LOVE this pick! I had Sanders rated as a 1st round talent 

[MrEpsYtown]

Why does anyone here think McDermott is going to change his scheme? Like you have to get over that. I’m not a McDermott guy, but he ain’t changing. 
 

Anyway, they clearly really like the dude. I don’t love the trade, but Beane seems to like to pick in tiers. And he traded up and down in one trade. 
 

And there is nothing stopping them from moving up again. Less amo, but they still can move around. I like when they target guys they really want, regardless of how I feel about them. 
 

And like Gunner said, the 49ers were going to take him.

Not undersized... maybe bit under weight... at 6'4"... I was expecting a 6'1" guy when you said that... guy could easily put on another 20-40 lbs and yet he is athletic.. we will see if trade makes sense if Bean can use some of those lower pics to move up again.

He don't look like a 'bulk up' guy.  Looks like beat ya with speed, and too strong for you to do anything about it guy.  A clever DC could make it lethal, because Oliver can do the same.  If I thought Bobby could do this, I'd be super happy. Talking myself off the ledge.

Mel Kiper had Shadeur Sanders ranked fifth, too.

I'm thinking there's a CHANCE that Kiper's rankings aren't the be-all, end-all.

And there is a ChAnCe Beane didn’t read the room. You like him, fine! Find him at value.

It seems a did a fair bit of 1T work in college and has some success there, no? 

Are we judging him strictly on his weight?

 

Yes.

My brother told me who is a KC fan said this was a big target of theirs to develop into their eventual Jones replacement 

He is a Chris Jones body type, can play basically anywhere across the dline (except a wide 9)---  I'd say kudos to your bro on comparison!

 

Violent handwork, interior DL of year in SEC.  Had some great games against top notch competition.

 

He has that 1 shoulder/slice thru OL finesse move, just uses his body and hands well.  Gets out of position though because of it too.  Just my opinion from watching some kids.  Think he improved vs run in 2024, stronger shedding blocks. 

 

It's a 3rd down league/passing, and need to get to Mahomes up the middle.

We are literally never going to draft a big DT 

 

That said I trust the coach and GM. Maybe he'll be great

Not the worst but they could have traded that pick, gotten more and still be looking to hypothetically get either Shemar Turner or Darius Alexander. 
 

Weird. 

[Turbo44]

Love how everybody thinks they know more that Beane. Too funny. I wouldn’t have traded up for him, BUT, I’m not the GM of Buffalo and he is an athletic freak. So Beane is 2 for 2 drafting athletic freaks. 
 

a lot of people calling him “undersized.” Since when is 6’3 298 with 33” arms undersized 

 

T.J. SandersDTSouth Carolina

Height: 6 - 3 |Weight: 297 lbs |RAS: 9.38

 

In a pretty deep defensive tackle draft class, T.J. Sanders has managed to stand out as one of the more enticing players in the group. A powerful 3-technique defensive tackle who also brings some juice as a penetrating 1-technique, Sanders appears to have the strength and improving technique to hold his own in NFL trenches. With solid overall quickness and an improving arsenal of moves to shed blocks, Sanders was a true impact player for South Carolina in 2024. He’s an effective run defender who brings enough pressure as a pass-rusher to entice NFL teams.

It’s hard for me not to be a McD fan. I grew up with too many years of poor management and lack of player development.

They should.  We were 25th against the run and got man handled at the LOS last year.  

honestly, let KC and burrow run the ball as much as they can. Every snap out of the qbs hands is a win. 
 

also, we often play with a lead so

All out pass rush - generally means obvious passing down and you just get your four best pass rushers out there

That's true- But Beane also doesn't get the benefit of the doubt when it comes to D lineman

 

I get where you are coming from...but think about that for a second...by default of that statement, that essentially means no DT he picks is the right DT then, because he doesn't get the benefit when it comes to DT...so by default its gonna be the wrong pick just by the nature of being a DT

We are obsessed with the same type of DT. Get a guy that’s 340 lbs or don’t bother. We can never stop the run and we never win the LOS against physical point of attack teams. Stop wasting time rotating 290lb Dlineman. Get 2 monsters in there to occupy blocks and keep the LBs clean. Stop doing this FFS. How many of these guys do we need?

Has the issue really been people run the ball down Bills throat? Or that in big games they don’t get pressure?? I’m assuming Bills think he will get to the passer as well as be explosive against the run 🤷🏻‍♂️.. just not sure 🤔 

[Augie]

So, what was the deal and when do we pick again? Thanks

Sure thing. Just like Carter was last year when we DESPERATELY needed him in the third round, so much so we got out of the first.

 

Is Carter now the water boy?

 

We also signed the 3 from pitt. Plus hoecht will move around and play some 3. 

 

By my count, we just drafted a fourth string player.
