David Sills actually went undrafted.

Black CBs can run in the 4.6s and get first round draft grades, but a white safety running 4.56 is undraftable of course.

To be fair I’ve had the chance to meet Dakota Allen a few times and he’s actually a really great guy, don’t think Kingsbury would’ve let him back if not.

WR Sills and S Wingard both go undrafted, undeservedly so.

The seventh round sucked, especially the second half of it.

Unofficially 8 Whites taken in the 7th round, which makes a total of 65, or 25.6%. It breaks the 60 barrier, or is right around 60 minus the kickers taken, but 25% is still pathetic. There's almost no deviation from year to year, decade to decade, defying all laws of probability.

By round:
first round: 7
second round: 6
third round: 9
fourth round: 13
fifth round: 15
sixth round: 7
seventh round: 8

Seventh round:
Allegretti
Gillaspia
Sweeney
Cox
Summers
Nauta
Barton
Cutting

A really great guy with a room brightening smile, that just happens to break into people's houses.

Phillip Lindsay, not black enough to be drafted at 5'8'', but just black enough to get a real opportunity as soon as his rookie season.

Overall it was slightly better than usual (or slightly less awful, take your pick). We should see an uptick in White defensive players as a result of this draft, especially by next season (2020). Whites dominated the QB position other than the two blacks taken early. Tight end was a strength again. The o-line was probably tilted toward blacks but a high number of them always turn out to be busts. Defensive end and linebacker are trending the right way, while RB, WR, DT, CB and safety remain their usual Whites need not apply positions.

I think it was a good draft, better than most. There were quite a few white, high end athleticism defensive players, many more than usual. This is a good trend.

The numbers are slightly higher, which is also good.

Of course, the numbers aren't close to what they should be if whites got equal treatment but overall I see some progress in this year's draft.

"David Sills" is trending on Twitter. Every person that tweeted in that thread was either surprised, shocked or angry about him not getting drafted. I'd rather that Sills had been drafted early but maybe his "martyrdom" in this whole sordid anti-White episode will wake up some normies to the Caste system.

I think today was still a good day. It’s a good thing that the 4th & 5th rounds were much Whiter than 6th & 7th if we had to choose, seeing how the number of our guys is always roughly the same. It gives them a much better chance of making the roster and getting some early career snaps.

If I was Sills, I would contact the Patriots first to gauge their interest, then the Vikings. I still think he would be the third best receiver on Minnesota even as a rookie. After that who knows.

I agree with that. The 4th and 5th rounds surged nicely, and none of the first three rounds were disastrous unlike most drafts, so there's a good chance this draft may actually increase the number of White players in the league by a couple of percentage points over the next year or two, especially on defense.

Its a travesty! I can see Sills becoming the next thielen and people will ask ignorantly how they overlooked him.

Bears, Jaguars, Saints, Colts have had terrible drafts.

At least the Buffalo black quarterback has yet to be drafted and will drift into anonymity.

Unfortunately Buffalo brought him in as UFA, but fear not. He won’t beat out Barkley and Anderson.

Yep...like this one..Gotta be one of the ALL TIME biggest Draft snubs i can ever remember!
Every year someone goes undrafted that I’m shocked about. This year that player is WR David Sills from West Virginia. Someone needs to sign him quickly, he’s an NFL wide receiverter.com/ChrisVaccaroGST/status/1122271266747105280


No Andrew Wingard is also disgusting ; esp when his teammate DB Epps had lower grade ; but drafted anyway
WHERE does DB Chris Johnson land??

Buffalo isn't too bad a team for Sills to sign with. He might be able to slowly work his way up their depth chart. By not being drafted he can't avoid serving a racial apprenticeship, so maybe he'll grow with Josh Allen and become a weapon there over time.

I agree. Very exciting news as Josh Allen needs alot of help with big fast guys to throw to with his cannon arm. Sill deseved to be drafter in the 3rd to 5th rounds but this just might work out better
for him in the long run. I like where he ended up!

Still waiting for updates
I was thinking that'd be a great place for Sills to land on some of those Bills picks which they ultimately didn't use on him, but then I thought about how he'll probably be relegated to the slot and have to compete with Cole Beasley for playing time.

Sills signing with Buffalo is a good fit. Sills is an outside receiver and a good deep threat. That should work well with Josh Allen's howitzer arm.

Plus Sills rhymes with Bills.

Hopefully he and easley get fair shots. They have an opportinity too because the only roster locks are probably foster, beasley and brown.
