I saw an interview a few days ago with claypool.
Seems like a great fit. The versatility is something the Bill's have to be looking at. 6 4' provides a matchup problem in the slot.
CBS has claypool at 82 overall. Around our current 3rd round position?

Lee should have been cut last year after the drops.

Sorry to step on your toes... 🤝

*Michael pittman jr. Also looks to be a 2nd-3rd rounder

ok, say 4 people in an 8 by 8 foot area


again more risk then 1 person handing out the body of christ at a church drive thru

I am not a religious man, I am just looking at how ironic it is


I mean these people are home a lot more then before, should have plenty of time to cook


tax money comes from fast food joints, not from milk and eggs at the super market

Can we also make it a law that no man of any age can wear sandals, slides, or anything else in public that will show their bare feet and toes? Nobody wants to see that poop.

EH! I paid $1200 exact for these sandals and I am going to show them off.

There are very few spots on the roster that are short on players even in a reserve roll. Edge, Safety, CB, RB. IF a player is available in the 2nd or 3rd rnd that falls or fits what Beane wants I would have no problem trading away later picks to move up to get them. Beane has done a very good job of setting up this roster.
- Buff36


A definitive #2 CB is probably the biggest need. If they can get a very good player there accccrosstttt from White, Beaner should run for President!

I know the video doesn’t do it justice but i was at the game. When stu scored it felt like a slow reaction from the crowd of it actual going in.
- Sabretooth9

What a great moment to witness live! The place went bonkers.
Stu was my favorite Panther player when he was here. Trading him away before having to re-sign him was one of the first signs of the poopshow the Panthers were soon to become (imo, it's still the worst trade in FL history). Watching this video from 96 playoffs gives me goosebumps, https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0_I9w5O4jfE
and then it pisses me off thinking of what could've been. How soon they let it fall apart, and never really tried to fix it until recently.
Three Sabres from the 99 Finals team were on FL's 96 team. Barnes, Woolley and Warrener. Martin Straka was too. All were let go for a whole lotta nothing in return.

Barnes, woolley and warrener were solid Sabres

Pretty tough to get into the teens. Would have to give up way to many picks in my opinion.

Look for chase claypool to be selected by the Bill's. Might go earlier than our pick in the second. Maybe add a 5th and get him.

Tall 6' 4
Versatility, could play wr or te
Nice guy that seems like a mcbeane pick
Smart

- Boss34



I wouldn't mind it. Seems like a direct competition to Knox in that he is a recieving TE but a project at blocking., yet big enough to be able to do it. A burning fast TE would create huge match up problems and probably draw a 2nd safety over the top

Good post ion

Supposedly there's some rumblings of trading for oj Howard. On paper, he would provide tough matchups as well.

He's a guy I mentioned earlier that also looks like a McBeaner pick...good test results too.

Yes, and they all were solid Panthers, too. It's a shame they wouldn't reward them with their next contacts. Instead trading them for cheaper alternatives 😠, in what would become sop for the SoP. standard operating procedure for the Same old Panthers.

Go to The Athletic, read the article from yesterday on WR's and TE's ...excellent.

Edit:
2. CHASE CLAYPOOL, Notre Dame (6-4, 238, 4.44, 1-2): Made 33 starts at WR over four seasons. Some teams are vociferous about him playing outside in the NFL. Others see him as a TE. “I think he’s big enough to be a tight end,” said one scout. “He’s every bit as big as Travis Kelce. He’s faster than Kelce. That’s who I saw.” His combine numbers were the best by a tight end. “I just don’t see the blocker at tight end,” a second scout said. “I don’t see how he holds up. People had the same conversation with Devin Funchess. You’re talking about the Jared Cook’s of the world. That’s just a different body type.” Finished with 150 catches for 2,159 (14.4) and 19 TDs. “The big ones that don’t make it, like Jonathan Baldwin, is because they’ve got a long ways to go because of (lack) of polish,” the second scout continued. “He’s not that far away. He’s fast, aggressive, has good hands. He was a dog on special teams. If you try to make him a multi-cut route runner, it’s going to be a problem. Let him be a big, fast, vertical, take-the-lid-off, contest-catch-winning guy. Mike Evans is a vertical route runner. I’m not calling this kid Mike Evans, but there are some comparable traits.” From Abbotsford, B.C., Claypool is the first Notre Dame signee from Canada since 1994. He posted a Wonderlic score of 27.

"Claypool is a guy that can play receiver, possibly play an H-back, tight end type of role as well. He's an interesting player with a lot of upside potential. Probably be a guy that gets picked sometime on the second day."

"As a result of his added bulk, many are beginning to question if the talented wide receiver is better suited to convert to the tight end position in the NFL. Some experts feel he represents a much more serious mismatch for defenses if he is moved to the tight end position."

"The Packers have needs at receiver and tight end, and Claypool has the size, athleticism and receiving ability to impact the game at both positions. Teams will see his speed and want to play him at receiver; smart teams will see his size and physicality and make him a tight end, with all the qualities required of a mismatch weapon in the passing game."
