My best interview thus far, and he was an extremely nice guy. I honestly hope Al may be a Buffalo Bill, if he is there in Round 3 or 4 Id give him a long look.

Good job DB

Walter Football rates him as 7th round or free agent prospect. I take it you think he's quite a bit better than that, draftboy.

I have it on good word from two different sources that Woods is rising and quickly. Both have intimate knowledge of NFL teams draft boards. On this guy Id say Walter is wrong.

Good interview DB. I think he could bring a lot to Buffalo, maybe playing the role of someone who can rotate in at DE and NT if he got up to 320 or so.

[methos4ever]

Thanks for the int DB. I think that he's going to be a solid player and would be a solid NT in the rotation!

It would be interesting to know Ross and Ivey's playing weight, if they would be comfortable being asked to handle two blockers almost every play, and what teams have shown interest.

With Ross its lower than you thought and he's spoken to every team but one particular AFC East team he thinks is clearly not interested.

That one team being us?

I was somewhat disappointed to see him only come in at 313 at the combine, does he play even lower?

That is info you'll have to wait for. They call it a tease for a reason! :db:

Sweet!! Can't wait to see it and hear your thoughts on him.

I know you don't like him, but all indications are that he's being seen as a really good 3-4 DE. Rumors are that Cleveland and New England really like him. Even a homer like me doesn't expect him to go as high as #7 though. Then again, I never thought Tyson Jackson would go #3 overall - man, what was KC thinking?

Its not that I dont like him its that he doesnt do anything at an elite level that bothers me. I agree though he's a 3-4 DE in the NFL.

I'm looking forward to the Arrelious Benn interview. I think he is a talented guy and am anxious to hear about what he's like in person. Keep up the good work DB!

Oooooo ask Price if he thinks he's better fir on the outside or in the slot, and if Buffalo has shown any interest. I think he could end up being one of the better WRs in this class, he suffered from bad QB play throughout his college career, it's going to be interesting to see what he can do in the league.

I can't ask about specific teams showing interest but I will ask him about if any teams have shown interest and if he chooses to share some specifics about who he has spoken with then I am happy to take that down.

Makes sense, thanks DB.
