Bills Scout:Cyrus Kouandjio can say "goodbye" to round 1

Draft insider Tony Pauline heard from one Buffalo Bills scout that Alabama T Cyrus Kouandjio can say "goodbye" to the first-round.

Pauline called Koaundjio's workout "sluggish, slow and totally unprepared." The big left tackle posted an official forty time of 5.59 seconds and 10 yard splits of 1.79 and 1.87 seconds. Kouandjio also posted 21 bench press reps. There were some highs and lows to Kouandjio's game during his final season, but we still think he has talent.

Could be there for us...maybe even in round 2....Also see he's failing medicals.

got to admit i was interested in him.

 

not so much anymore.

 

he was one of the few 1st round OTs i thought would be available at 8. i don't think any would be right now. we might have to wait until the 2nd or third to get the next LT, but i think the guys who will be available then would still be really good.

 

i still think we can walk away with a starting quality LT and RT this year and not draft anay OL in the first. this is a really good deep class of tackles, imo. same with WRs and TEs....and CBs. man, what a great class to be stuck at the end of the rounds. i'm going to love this draft. so much talent and we can go so many ways the first few rounds and get good starters.

I like B Thomas, Bitonina, Billy Turner, and Mewhort in the 2nd. I just hope there's not some crazy run on O line. But yeah man, crazy all around talent this year; definitely wish we had 11 picks like the niners in this one

Am I the only one who prefers different threads for prospects this team might be interested in, instead of searching through one thread dedicated to the combine. Few pages in a thread like that, has observation and details about how the player performed at the combine. The majority of the thread is the huddlers opinion on if the player will be suitable or not. It's the off-season and almost every thread in the main forum has been on the first page for about a week now. It dulls this place down, have a combine section so we can have threads to evaluate each player, if you're worried about clutter in the main thread.

Kinda what I'm thinking.  I think we may be in no man's land right now at 28 in terms of OTs.  I think value will be there at WR or CB.  All of the legit 1st round talent OTs will be gone, so we'd likely be forced to reach if we wanted to go OT.  No thanks on reaching.  I'd rather take a better prospect at another position and wait until the 2nd or 3rd.

    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ    
    • I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
    • I think google is confusing signing bonus with guaranteed money. If you get a guarantee of say $10 million, it doesn’t matter if the signing bonus is $5 or $8 million, it’s the $10 million number that affects the cap, as the signing bonus is always just a portion of the guaranteed money anyways. And again, I’ll admit I’m not 100% sure about it, but I’m pretty sure it is the case.
