This guy (user name "Schmuggs") claims to be a bartender at The Black and Bleu restaurant. The other night, the entire Bills front office cam in and was rehashing the draft. He reports the following things as stuff he heard Bills staffers say:
"Russ wanted Connor but consensus was DE. Poz who played with him in college and did not get along with him (thought he was not a good athlete) and gave him the “thumbs down”. Wound up taking Ellis. One of two top DE in the ACC. The other of course was Long. They had Ellis graded just below Long.
Derek Fine was graded on the board as a third rounder. Was top three on their list of TE. Almost was drafted in the third until they called San Diego, Fine was not even on their draft board so they decided to wait till the forth.
If Mckelvin was not available at 11. A trade down deal was made with the Cardinals. In return for a third rounder. Then they would’ve picked Thomas. Three out of the five scouts had Hardy rated higher than Thomas. They think he will be a “beast” in the redzone. McKelvin wound up dropping to them so the Bills canceled the trade. Though they tried to make a move for thomas later in the first.
They think the sleepers are Omon they were very impressed with his college stats. He will definetley be the third RB. Also LB Bowen though a bit slow should be a special teams ace. “Stamers replacement”.
F. Davis wasn’t picked in the second because of a bum knee."
I don't know if you are allowed in if you're not a member there.
