    Well, I think we can forget about Chad Kelly being drafted...

    at least at a decent position in the NFL Draft.

    The Ole Miss QB was barred from the NFL Combine, but did have a pro day scheduled for today.

    Per many outlets(including the News), Kelly was slated to run 50 plays in front of scouts from every team-the Bills included. However, he didn't even get close to that mark; after about 5 minutes of throwing, Kelly was shut down due to a wrist injury. Considering that he's still recovering from a torn ACL, I wouldn't even sign him as a FA, never mind draft him.

    He'll still get drafted. If he's there past the fourth, I'll be surprised.

    Those things heal. There's no risk to signing him as a UDFA. Hell, I'd probably take him with our 7th if he's still available. I don't think he will be, though.

    I think the Bills will be able to take him with their first 5th rounder. I wouldn't wait any longer and that's a decent spot to take him since 5th rounders rarely make it anyway.

    For sure Bills will draft him .... they're drawn to injury-prone players like flies to **** ... especially in the early rounds:ie:- Shaq Lawson- Reggie Ragland- Sammy Watkins- Kiko Alonzo- M Goodwin- Aaron Williams- CJ Spiller- Eric Wood- etc...

    Yeah, because Watkins, Ragland, Wiiliams, and Woods were injury-prone in college.

    I would not be surprised if Kelly goes undrafted.

    He may. Or he may get drafted. No one can predict the future. I say for a 5th rounder, take a shot. How many 5th rounders actually make an NFL team?

    Prepared to be amazed, 5th Round at the earliest.

    If he had a different last name, would anyone here really want him? There are just so many warning signs here.

    Sounds right. Ultimately, the NFL is show biz, and the name recognition may sell enough local extra seats to pay for more than his rookie contract.

    Plus, they can get some PR mileage about trying to resurrect his lost soul, with Uncle Jim leading the charge.

    Re: Well, I think we can forget about Chad Kelly being drafted...

    I think he probably attempted throwing too soon after he was medically cleared to work out. Even though he was presumably healed, perhaps he hasn't had to get sufficiently conditioned to avoid injury. He does plan on working out again before the draft (April 22). If teams are interested enough, scouts will be there.
    I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.

    I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

    Yes. I think he is the best QB prospect in this draft, regardless of his name and lineage.
