Meet Bijan Robinson, a generational NFL draft talent in the wrong generation

 

ESPN "It's late March, one month until the 2023 NFL draft, and Bijan Robinson is in South Philadelphia, tucked into an office in the Eagles' practice facility with one of his potential future bosses: Howie Roseman, the team's general manager. Robinson is the best running back in..." April 20

Bring me an offensive playmaker and a LB with the first two picks, and I'll be a happy guy. 

(Flowers/Robinson/JNS/Addison + Campbell/Sanders)

 

Get it done, GMBB. 

 

* Almost all those offensive guys, minus maybe Addison, are not likely to be there at 27, I get it. Just laying out my dream first two picks.

[Crap Throwing Clavin]

Williams looks like pretty good depth, and if available would be a steal in the 4th.  Williams, Williams, and Williams, on the other hand...the Bills are already deep there, and while Williams, as a sophomore, might be a decent pick in the 5th, Williams and Williams aren't worth more than UDFAs and camp fodder.  And then Williams...I think he's selling insurance after graduation.

 

It's a sad day when there's not really a Williams worth taking.

[Spartacus]

Different take of value of top prospects.
Definitely has 'some' rated much higher/lower than most others.

NFL DRAFT

7 Players Who Will Go Higher Than You Think In 2023 NFL Draft

 

 

Luke Musgrave TE, Oregon State

A flex weapon that fits what teams want at tight end, although we saw Musgrave in just two games this fall, he dominated the Senior Bowl and will immediately become the focal point of an offense. A big man that stretches the seam, takes it the distance on a crossing route, and sticks his face in the mud in the ground game, don’t be surprised if you hear Musgrave’s name on night one of the 2023 NFL Draft.

 

Ricky Stromberg IOL, Arkansas

Stromberg is the second-ranked center for a handful of teams I’ve spoken to—get to know his name. An immovable force that didn’t allow a single sack in 398 snaps in pass pro this fall, his name is rising on draft boards. His strength coupled with an advanced ability to pick up stunts and blitzers showcases an athlete that could anchor a front five for a long time.

 

Tyler Scott WR, Cincinnati

A gifted route-runner that can threaten every level of the defense, throwing him back on special teams is another wrinkle to his game that separates him from projected day-two pass-catchers. His explosiveness and ball skills pop off the page and he’s still relatively new to the position. He’ll only get better with snaps and will thrive in an offense that utilizes his skill set at every depth.

 

BJ Ojulari EDGE, LSU

A twitched-up edge talent that won primarily off of athleticism in the SEC, his ceiling is truly immense. He’ll be just 21 years old for the entirety of his rookie campaign, and if he’s able to fine-tune the details of his pass-rush approach, look out. He’s got the burst, length, power, and flexibility to become an elite sack artist.

 

Israel Abanikanda RB, Pitt

A home-run hitter that rushed for more than 1,400 yards and totaled 20 trips to paydirt in 2022, Abanikanda has a unique blend of beef to run inside and the juice to press it east-west and kick into fifth gear before the secondary can clip his ankles on the way by. The most points wins, and Abanikanda is an athlete that understands how to reach the endzone no matter what yard line the ball is snapped at. He also won’t turn 21 until October.

BUFFALO BILLS: S JAMMIE ROBINSON, FLORIDA STATE

Robinson is an instinctive, physical safety. He’s a tremendous tackler, with 23 misses on 313 career attempts across four seasons as a starter. That’s the kind of player Sean McDermott has gravitated toward at safety.

Note that Jordan Battle and Jammie Robinson score top 5 in everything, and are two of my three pet cats for the Bills at Safety in the 2023 NFL Draft. The other is either Ronnie Hickman early, or DeMarcco Hellams on Day 3.

We are quite light on the Williamsez these days.

 

I also like the thought of drafting Jordan Battle S - Alabama in the top 3 rounds so our future safety duo could be a Rapp Battle

 

I'll let myself out
