Undrafted Free Agents: Bills Linked To Several Rookies
by Brian Galliford on Jul 26, 2011 9:30 AM EDT
in 2011 NFL Draft
Email
PrintUnsurprisingly, the first thing that the NFL allowed its teams to do under their post-lockout timeline was negotiate contracts with rookies that were not selected in the 2011 NFL Draft. As such, last night was a bit crazy, as reports of undrafted free agent signings came quickly and furiously.
Every year, we reference the great work done at NEPatriotsDraft.com in regard to undrafted free agents, as those folks are superb at keeping track of the madness as 32 teams spring to sign these players. Right now, those guys have the Buffalo Bills down for eight agreements last night, none of which can become official until 10AM - so please treat this post as speculation, for the moment.
The biggest name on the list was that of linebacker Mario Harvey, a 5'11", 257-pound kid with huge production (420 tackles, 36.5 tackles for loss, 21 sacks, eight PBU, and an interception) and 4.46-second speed out of Marshall. Recent reports, however, indicate that he may spurn the Bills for an opportunity with the Steelers.
Other names on the list: Florida running back Emmanuel Moody, Nevada running back Vai Taua, Central Florida wide receiver Kamar Aiken, North Carolina tight end Zach Pianalto, Houston lineman Isaiah Thompson, Boston College lineman Rich Lapham, Alabama defensive end Luther Davis, Ball State pass rusher Robert Eddins, Texas Tech linebacker Brian Duncan, Nevada cornerback Doyle Miller, Buffalo safety Domonic Cook, West Virginia safety Sidney Glover, Utah State safety Rajric Coleman, Virginia Tech kicker Chris Hazley, Washington State punter Reid Forrest, and Virginia long snapper Danny Aiken. Again, none of these signings are official.

The top couple of guys
are probably having their phones rung off the hook. When Tyler Thigpen and Drew Stanton do the most damage to my heart rate, the veteran FA class isn’t exaclty worth doing handstands over.
Weber, Froman, Tolzein and them probably have a bunch of options.

It was good to see them bring in Cook. UB’s secondary has been very good for the past few years, and Cook was probably the second best player on the unit after Davonte Shannon. He was productive last year with 6 picks, which seems to be a recurring theme among our signings.
They can kill you, but the legalities of eating you are quite a bit dicier.
Buffalobillsdraft.com
says that it was reported that they’d agreed with Adam Weber QB, but apparently that is no longer the case. They seem to be trying to land a QB but nothing so far.

Try him at OLB?
I’m wondering if the Bills will give this guy a try at OLB. He played inside in college, but with his 4.46 speed and his obvious pass rushing success he might actually do better outside. And of course we are very well-stocked with ILB (assuming that Poz re-signs) while we could be very thin at OLB if Merriman doesn’t hold up and some of the younger guys don’t make progress.
i suppose we’ll see…i feel like inside linebackers or more apt to shooting open gaps while blitzing rather than using an array of pass rushing moves coming from the outside. I havent personally seen him play, so im not sure what kind of pass rush moves he has in his arsenal
by bizarro bills on Jul 26, 2011 10:37 AM EDT up reply actions
Not so sure about that...
An OLB listed at 5’11"? Unless his name is Elvis Dumervil (or maybe James Harrison counts at 6’ even) there haven’t been too many success stories of pass rushers of that stature. And I’m not so sure I’d say we’re “well-stocked” with talent at ILB. Aside from Poz, who might not be back, Sheppard is the most talented ILB I see – and he’s a rookie! Ayodele, Davis, and Torbor don’t exactly scream GAME-CHANGER! when you see their names on the roster. I’d love to put a 4.46 ’backer with a knack for getting around the ball in the middle.

He Played Some OLB in College
While he mostly lined up at ILB for Marshall, he also played OLB and even DE (hand in the dirt) a little bit each game. So, it wouldn’t be completely new to him. Though it seems we already have some developmental guys at OLB (Moats, Batten, Coleman…maybe even Maybin) to compete with Merriman and Kelsay for playing time. At ILB only 2 young guys: rookies Shepard and White.

So why...
with 4.46 speed, decent pass rushing stats, and from the look at his stats, decent coverage skills, did Harvey slip out of the draft?
Size
Its almost unheard of fopr a LB to be under 6 foot.
Very few guys in the league (unless your amazing are under 6 foot)
Size is everything in the pros apparently, but this why guys like London Fletcher and Lwrence Timmons fall through the cracks. I hope Buddy got this right.

Harvey
check out this video from you tube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5x9M0AAFPs
to me it looks like Harvey has a bit of trouble with gap responsibility, not too fluid with his hips, not the best acceleration, although he is fast, and he tackles a bit high. He does look like a bowling ball of muscle out there though. Most of these can be taught fairly easily though. Still think its a great UFA pickup
just to add
one thing i love to see is that hes always around the football

Usually your agent and you want you to go to a team that you can make the roster. Going to the steelers as a lb just was not the.smartest idea imo.

True, but anything can happen in camp. You can be an injury or two from at least making the practice squad. If he’s a solid tackler and a high end UDFA, why not shoot for the moon? Especially if the team wants you. Worst case scenario – you end up on the Bills practice squad anyway. Why not at least try to go to a better team?
Special Teams
Harvey will likely make Steelers roster as a special teams ace and as 5th ILB.

Gotta love any move along the lines of Offensive Lineman – Boston College. They have seven current NFL offensive lineman including big names like Chris Snee, Damian Woody and early picks like Anthony Costanzo, Gosder Cherilus and Marc Columbo.
Lapham is a classic smart mean BC offensive lineman. He’s exactly what you’d expect from an undrafted player from a program like that. The problem is that you’d expect him to struggle as an athlete which is exactly what he does. He’s too tall for his own good and lacks the coordination to be quick and fluid with his feet. Doesn’t bend well enough either. Intangibles could keep him on the roster though. If Buffalo thinks they can work with his feet, I can see them falling in love with the person and his combo of size and first punch power.

Little info on some of the players:
Emmanuel Moody – Underachiever at Florida (worked for the Bills last year though). After averaging 7.2 and 6.5 ypc in about 50-60 carries per season as a SO and JR, he was expected to be the workhorse back this year, but only averaged 4 yards a pop and saw his opportunities fall. If you take out his game against Appalachian St., he only averaged 3.4 yoc this past season. Still, he’s got good size (5’11, 215), is a older prospect due to his transferring from USC to Florida and looked like he was going to be a star early in his college career. He struggled to fit into Florida’s spread and I’d bet that he would have had a terrific career had he gone to a smaller school where he could have been a workhorse type back in a pro style offense.
Brian Duncan – Good size (6’1, 248) and brings versatility having started at OLB, MLB and DE at Texas Tech. Broke out to record 7 sacks this season. Mediocre athlete though. Isn’t really a great fit at any one position. 314 tackles and lots of experience is impressive, but I’m not sure where Duncan fits in the NFL, other than special teams.
Vai Taua – Very productive runner, but lacks speed or measurables of any kind. Taua has deceptive quickness and shiftiness though and runs with power. Top notch intangibles means he might translate over to a special teamer well which could give him bottom of the roster value as both a runner and ST player.
Luther Davis – buried on the depth chart most of his career and only made a contribution as a rotational guy. Never recorded a sack at Alabama. But still, he was a four star recruit who was heavily pursued by pretty much every major southern program (LSU, Auburn, Florida, Florida St., Oklahoma). He had twin boys a little while back and supposedly that really motivated him and he a big jump in attitude this past season. He should be a good fit as a camp body with loads of 3-4 experience and a relationship with Dareus. Maybe he’ll surprise a la David Nelson as an SEC guy who never really broke out. The one problem here is that Davis had his shot this year after some guys graduated last year and couldn’t make that jump to a draftable player.
Zach Pianalto – Would have been drafted this season had he not broken his fibula after six games. 30 catches for 311 yards in 6 games this season and 33 for 334 in 8 games in 2009. Good hands, good straight line speed and can be a legit zone buster in the NFL. Stiff hips will be tough for him to overcome in man coverage in the NFL though. He’s extremely injury prone and his compete has been questioned. Below average blocker, although he does show good smarts and sometimes hustle when asked to get to the 2nd level. Can he block well enough and contribute on special teams well enough to make a roster?

Yes, the FA's are Important!
What the hell, man! It’s like Bills’ fans forgot about Fred Jackson, Ryan Fitz, steve johnson, Demetrius Bell, pat williams, jason peters,
All 7th round or lower, all recent history. And that’s just Buffalo! Don’t say post-draft FA signings are meaningless, c’mon! Wake-up Bills’ Fans!
Or is everyone just playing it down because our crop today doesn’t offer any shiny nuggets so far? (I’ve only read about half the guys so far)
I liked everyone on the above list aside from fitzy (didn’t look him up though) from either magazines &/or internet searches before we ever signed any of them. Ya know, what the draftniks said, had you thinking, what’s not to like? Like our mamoth 7th round DT this year, ol’ what’s his face…love him!

Vai Taua
So happy for him. Grew up as a Bills fan and I go to Nevada. He isn’t the fastest guy but he runs hard and is pretty versatile. Hope he finds his way with my Bills. Same with Doyle Miller.
