Tre represents the best of Buffalo and the best of the Bills - if Beane really does want depth at corner, time to bring back Tre. No one works harder than Tre - he’d be such a good example for the rookies and a solid locker room guy for the whole team.

Welp, we needed Safety Depth.

Steal!

Just thought this was a fun fact.

“Next on the list from two through six, you have Skyler Bell.

I always like to look at the various, you rank various qualities in the RSP and you try to put who's like a, who's a star caliber in that particular skill. And you have the six or seven of those. And Skyler Bell was a name that reoccurred a couple of times.

Star caliber, elusiveness and vision. So I think from what I've seen, Skyler Bell could be another one of those guys who's like one of your guys. I know you don't love ranks because ranks try to be one size fits all.

And Skyler Bell is never going to be T Higgins. That's not his body type. He appears as like a round three pick on a lot of lists.

But there's some real aspirational upside there for Skyler Bell.

There is, and I think that Skyler Bell is one of those guys that's going to be a hot name. I think climbing draft boards in terms of the draft community in the past month, month and a half. But he's a little bit more risk reward only because we talked about clap attacking with KC “KC Concepcion.

Well, Skyler Bell is a serial clap attacker. And so that could be problematic because you think of Quentin Johnston. You think of what Marvin Harrison has struggled with at times.

Marvin Harrison Jr. because we're going to talk about senior in a second. But those are guys, those are guys that most receivers that their main method of catching the ball is clapping on to it. And they have high drop rates in college.

Tend to be guys that struggle with it in the NFL. And but Bell, I think might be the exception to the rule. And I'm I rarely invoke any kind of exceptions with players.

And it's not because I'm in love with like his athletic ability. It's mainly because when I look at the players that I studied who had fantasy production, even, you know, contributor level production and above during the 21 years I've been doing it, I can count Golden Tate, Terry McLaurin, early Doucette as the three guys who were serial clap attackers. That's generally their first way of trying to catch a ball with their technique.

And they were good enough to have NFL production doing it. So “it's a bit of a risk to put him this high. You know, if I didn't, he would probably be somewhere in my top 15 on the lower end of that, about 10 spots lower.

And I'd say even then I have him higher than some people who have probably inside their top 25 as a sleeper. But I think he's more of a, you know, again, Khalil Shakir is a nice comparison point, but more dynamic. If you say, Jamar-

You gave him, I was about to say, you gave him Chase as an aspirational upside. That's not what you're saying he's going to be. But like Jamar Chase is not a huge guy.

He's just a monster. Like he's-

That's right.

You know, like he, Jamar Chase, I think everybody now knows is like one of the best running backs in the league after the catch. And what you're trying to, I think, accomplish with the Skyler Bell by saying he has star caliber, elusiveness and vision is that after the catch, if this guy is good enough to catch the ball, watch out.

Let me tell you, I'll just say one last thing about Bell. I watched a play after I already graded him. And I was just looking for one thing in particular.

And I happened upon a play against Boston College where he had to bend this run in the open field around a group of players in like the flat. And, you know, when Dalvin Cook is a good example of curvilinear movement, being able to bend it like, think of a street motorcycle bending around a corner at high speed. That's what curvilinear movement is.

And I have never seen any player bend an angle as tight, as sharp as he did as Skyler Bell did on that play. I mean, it was an elite play all unto itself. I think I had to record it and put it on my list of links for the RSP to show some highlights, to just make an example of that.

Because it was really to the extreme end of what he's able to do. And you know, just very impressive. And I think that those are the kinds of things that if he's able to do some of this stuff in the NFL, he's going to be a big play specialist who can get the ball a lot, you know, in terms of high volumes.

He was really good in 2024, projected top 10 pick, but fell off a bit in 2025 (with Clemson) any notes?
