    According to NFL Draft Diamonds, the Buffalo Bills will host a fast rising small school product prior to the draft in Youngstown State’s pass rushing phenom Derek Rivers.

    Add UCLA, North Carolina, Louisiana Tech, Missouri USC, Ohio State, and Michigan to pro days attended as well.

    Whaley was spotted representing the Bills at the UCLA Pro Day.

    Rivers is an interesting project, he was a producing machine at Youngstown State collecting 173 tackles, 56.5 TFL, 41 sacks, and 48 QB Hurries in his career.

    His combine was a little mixed:
    Ht - 6035 (14th)
    Wt - 248 lbs. (33rd)
    Arm - 32 3/4" (30th)
    Hand - 9 3/8" (34th)
    40 - 4.61 (4th)
    10 Yd Split - 1.61 (6th)
    Bench - 30 Reps (3rd)
    BJ - 10'3" (4th)
    VJ - 35" (6th)
    SS - 4.40 (16th)
    60S - 12.43 (7th)*
    3 Cone - 6.94 (3rd)

    *Only 8 DE's ran the 60 yard Shuttle

    Rivers athleticism is clear both in his measurements and on tape, my concern with him was always his size. He's a little light in the behind and he has shorter arms. However, his bench number is really impressive and that tells me that he has the ability to over come his length limitations and add some weight. As a 3rd or 4th Round option he would be ideal, but he could go as early as Round 2.

    I don't think we need another Alabama D-lineman that has issues passing drug tests.

    If McDermott's plan is to go with a west coast offense, IMO Peterman would be the best pick to run it. In the WCO a QB has to be accurate, be able to throw with anticipation and go through progressions. Peterman's strengths include all three of those attributes, while the Bills current QB struggles in all three. I don't think Peterman will last past the 2nd round, I'm all for the Bills using their 2nd pick to grab him. Let Peterman sit a year learn the offense and speed of the game and start him in 2018.

    Jimmi's on to a better angle though that Anderson could never achieve.
