Lucky Coleman fell back to him. Bishop was a good pick. Everything else besides the center was a disaster.

??? What are you talking about?

It's way too early for these predictions. I like the promise many of the draft picks have. Some had Carter as the 3rd best DT in the draft and some had Davis as the best RB in the draft. The 5th round DE led FBS in sacks last year. The C will be a starter sooner than later and anchored the UGA line the past 3 seasons (2 of them championship ones). Even the 6th and later picks have promise as 2 are 300#+ guys who run a sub-4.85 40. I didn't get the 5th round LB but I said the same thing about Bernard. I'm not saying they'll all or mostly hit, but it's not like they picked a bunch of scrubs.
As for WR, I never expected them to draft more than 1. And as for Rice, teams passed him over again and again. You could easily get what he'll produce this year from any of the FA WRs still out there (and I'm hoping they sign someone).
First of all, he used a 7th rounder, the vast majority of which don't make an NFL roster (like Rice probably won't) anyway. Second of all, he's 6'7" and 301# and ran a 4.79 40-yard dash. Third, he gives the Bills an extra PS spot. If Clayton had been a 6th or earlier rounder, or some guy without anything special about him, I'd agree with you.
As for Rice, I'd like to know why he fell to the 7th round?
This is a dollar lottery ticket with much greater odds of success.
I love it. This dude has what you can’t teach/learn in terms of his size/speed and athleticism (I’m sure he’s strong as a bull too).
He’s also going to learn a position that just isn’t that hard to learn. He won’t be running routes, swim moves, calling defenses, reading defenses etc. He’s going to stand up quickly shuffle his feet and try to keep the guy in front of him from getting around him for 3-4 seconds. Not rocket science.
Conversions happen all the time , OL to DL, DL to OL, QB to WR and this is in the NFL. It happens frequently in high school and college. The Bills themselves did it with a UDFA TE and turned him into an All Pro LT.
Just like the rest of the draft we’ll know in three years.
Jordan Mailata did it why can’t Travis? For the cost of a selection that rarely makes a roster much less become a difference maker it’s well worth the tiny expense.

Do we still get the ps roster exemption if the player is drafted?

This is what I have to say about that.
We killed this draft absolutely killed it.
Now have a nice day.
One of the biggest mistakes that NFL teams can make in the draft is to reach for a player because he fills a position of need, drafting him higher than his talent justifies in a desperate attempt to find a Day One impact player. That’s a mistake that Eagles General Manager Howie Roseman says he won’t make.
