Alaska Darin Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 2 hours ago, Blessed Believer said: So, just curious, who has the best chance of making the team? I don’t watch college football so what do I know? The TE from Texas A&M. Before last season he was a projected Day 2 pick. He's big, fast, & athletic. He had a terrible pro day and it dropped him completely outta the draft. If he's healthy, he's an NFL player all day long. 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he doesn't make the Bills, some other team's likely to pick him up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His collegiate numbers are pretty good and he played in the SEC. I like him a lot more than Sweeney as long as he's willing to put in the work to be a pro. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taro T Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 So, back when the Bills were NYS's version of the Jests, we saw a lot of good UDFAs sign with them because they saw Buffalo as a great place to manage to land a job. Now that there isn't nearly the same level of opportunity, are the Bills now getting UDFAs signing with them because they really are guys that should've been drafted but didn't for "reasons" (a bad combine, injuries, a predilection to put every stupid 22 yo thought in their head on Instagram, etc.) hoping to be part of a winner even though it's a tougher slog to make the team, or are they guys that for the most part have no shot at all & were only available because even the Jests & JAGs don't see them as being worth signing, or something other? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoke with a buddy who follows college football in Texas very closely to get his take on some of our guys….. I laughed when he said he never watches Baylor and actively avoids watching them. He said no one from Baylor ever is really a pro prospect. If you look at their history he is mostly right with a few notable exceptions. He has no idea on our LB. The Texas OL that is a UDFA was very highly touted coming in and he emphasized that Texas has been a shitshow. He would not be surprised if this kid made a big leap. On the TE…..he really liked him coming into this year but he didn’t have a great season. He said it looked like there was something going on with him….not the same player. He didn’t know what to make of the combine but the guy doesn’t play slow. Edited May 4, 2022 by 4merper4mer 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many variables to say, probably. Each individual probably has a different reason for why they choose where to sign. I'm sure in years past the BILLS were a nice destination because the team was terrible so it up the odds some. I think right now the organization's reputation and world class facilities make guys wanna take a big swing and see if they can pick up something maybe they might not get someplace else - almost a cheat code to their next opportunity. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overpaying drastically helped too. I mean...Derrick Dockery? Langston Walker? You think their thought process in coming to Buffalo wasn't along the lines of "I can't believe how much these fools are offering to pay me!"

Blessed Believer Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 (edited) Anyone else, UDFA, besides the big slow TE, have a decent chance of making the 53? Edited May 4, 2022 by Blessed Believer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
