Bills signed the guy myself, @Adipost and some others were wanting the Bears to draft in Trey Adams (OT Notre Dame)

Damn it Pace.

wagner has those clamps for hands like alshon, he looks like a slightly faster alshon



I saw the Kentucky one but first time i've seen that one handed catch while still in high school and can't believe he was that damn big in high school. Both impressive catches and i could see him playing some TE.

One thing is clear, Pace has his own system of rating players that has nothing to do with the general consensus.

Drafting Hambright and Simmons over a guy like Adam's for example.

Seems like we're slow in announcing these guys, several teams have released their list of 18-20 already. Who knows, maybe there will be a QB somewhere in there. Always more available at cut-downs after some preseason tape is out there too.

I was really hoping we could get AJ Killlins from UCF. He ended up with the Eagles. I would not be shocked if he makes their 53.

Adams has major injury red flags. If he could have come out two years ago he was a first rd pick. Since then he has been constantly injured, including back injuries that have severely limited his mobility. IMO he was worth a 7th rd flyer but I also understand why he wasn’t drafted.

i saw him listed as a 4.6 or a 4.5? so maybe not much different than alshon just taller and less experience

I think you're talking about who i've had as my sleeper TE since the combine, Dalton Keene (Virginia Tech) but i think they took two TE's in this draft.

He took Asiasi and Keene back to back.

Keene looks faster than other guys, possibly because he's slimmer but the dude looked like a WR out there

Yeah i remember one of the guys at the combine when talking about Deene said he was used all over the offense even at RB some. Definitely versatile.

Signed another RB from FIU.

Napoleon Maxwell, RB, FIU (link) In 4 seasons as a Panther the 6’, 215 pounder ran for 2,090 yards (5.3ypc), with 22 touchdowns, 30 receptions for 233 yards. He played as a true freshman in 2014, but missed the 2015 and 2016 seasons with an injury.

Pierce looks explosive at 4.44 speed at pro day. He was projected to be a 5th rd pick.
I thought so too but he stank against ohio state sadly so I think we need a vet especially since it's going to be a very short preseason with little to no minicamps . the league won't open until every team can open which pretty much means no minicamps. We will be lucky if we have a season at all

WOW!!!! My initial impression is that I am really impressed! This guy looks very promising on tape! Good signing! Should easily earn a spot on the 53!
Watch his play vs Ohio state, he stunk
