    Which Bills Rookie Will Have The Biggest Impact In 2016?

    Shaq Lawson, even though he'll miss 5-6 games?

    Reggie Ragland?

    Adolphus Washington?

    Cardale Jones!!? That would be crazy fun.

    I gotta' go with Reggie Ragland, a 6'1 250 lb missile.

    This guy makes Brandon Spikes look soft.

    Well considering Ragland is probably the only rookie who'll make an impact this season, he wins by default.

    Even if they were all healthy starters, I'd still say Ragland. If he doesn't suffer a stupid injury, he'll be the best LB we've experienced here in a long time.

    Just for ****s and giggles I'll say Kolby Listenbee.

    I've got Mace's back here...Ragland, even if Lawson were healthy.

    Ragland will be the biggest impact because he'll be on the field the most.

    I think Listenbee could be the biggest playmaker though.

    The coaches are going to have to school him. Run-stopping missiles are ripe for exploitation by savvy play-callers.

    Whichever UDFA they sign to play RT is going to have a pretty big impact.

    Coming from the SEC, the AFC East will be a bit of a let down for Ragland. ;-)
    Lehner's history. He just doesn't know it yet.

    I'd be surprised if it's Listenbee. I like his potential, but I expect him to take a similar route as Dez Lewis did last year, practice squad and maybe some snaps at the end of the year.


    They've been raving about Seymour. Ragland is the safest bet for the rookie with the biggest impact, but I think Seymour could be the biggest surprise by getting a good amount of snaps as a 6th rounder.

    Ragland obviously

    Who the F knows if Shaq will even play and the rest of the guys aren't starting.

    Seems like the obvious choice.

    Dunno. He has wheels, but we will see if he can defeat getting chucked near the LOS. I don't see him adding much in run support. I'm not aware of him doing middle duty with the TCU's style of offense.

    If he gets off the LOS clean, I can see him drawing coverage away from others.

    I think he will have to have some wow-wee pre-season performances to make it past the final cuts...which he might, given the Watkins uncertainty. It's generally tough for a 6th round WR to catch on.

    BUF has drafted speedsters, but they have been dealt with by our competitors.

    Plus, he will have to impress on special teams - I don't know if he is rugged enough for that either. I think that the competition at wide receiver will be the most interesting battle for roster spots this pre-season.
