TSW Mock 1.0 - The Bills (TSW Poll) are on the clock
GunnerBill replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall
Was it the Vikings who used to miss their pick all the time and get jumped? Ha. -
TSW 1.0 Poll - Who should the Bills select at #30
GunnerBill replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall
I haven't got my board right in front of me... I'm in Albania for work... but of the guys listed on this poll I have two first round tape grades: Walter Nolen and Mike Green. I repeat if Green makes #30 I think there is no way he is on our board because it means the off field is very concerning. I'd love Nolen, but positional value wise it is hard to argue for a 3T DT when one of your best players is already a 3T DT. If we didn't have Ed I'd be majorly banging the drum for Nolen. After those two, of this list, by my board, it's Hariston just a smidge ahead of Amos but on pure Bills fit I'd flip that for scheme. I do have Princely and Nic Scourton above the corners though as well. They just aren't in this poll. -

Yea if I was grading this by likely picks for this regime it is Ezeiruaku and Amos out on their own. My guess is if the draft has gone as it has here those two (and Scourton who I can see them liking a lot) are the standouts on the Bills board. -

Yea has a lot of White about him. -
He has also gotten better every year. Maybe he has now peaked? It's possible. In which case this is an exceptional deal. But if he is STILL getting better, wow, this will be hard to beat.

TSW 1.0 Poll - Who should the Bills select at #30
GunnerBill replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall
I think he and Ed are two very similar versions of the same guy. I loved Ed coming out and I love Nolen. I just don't know if them together is the ideal combination. I think Nolen can play the run, probably does it slightly better than Ed although Ed's run defense has always been better than you'd think reading this forum. It's more just both of them really want to penetrate getting either of them to go full gas in a game plan where they are told, don't worry about getting home - your job is just eat up two blockers and keep them engaged that's your 1/11th.... yea. Not sure I'd get 100% out of either of them asking them to do that anything more than occassionally. -

I am hearing the two sexual assault allegations we know about are not the only ones. There are people out there digging and they seem to think there are more women who have experienced similar patterns of behaviour. -

7. I'd forgot all about Princely. Yea. And Scourton. I have both above Loveland. -
It's an exceptional contract Top 5 big board? 1. Hunter; 2. Carter; 3. Graham; 4. Jeanty; 5. Barron. Or did you mean top 5 Bills fits?

And while Beane was less need orientated early in his regime, that's kinda when it is easy to be BPA. When you are building it and you have time and patience on your side. When you are right there and feel like you just need a piece or two to get over the hump becomes much easier to convince yourself that the DT who perfectly fits your need is a better player than the corner who doesn't or vice versa. It's also worth saying the last three drafts are the three without Joe Schoen. And while he has not been a stellar GM in his own right in New York I do know for a fact that he was a vital sounding board for Beane and I was told by someone in the front office - Beane values Joe's player evals more than his own. I am just not sure he has that guy anymore who he can lean on and it shows in some of the day 1 and 2 drafting IMO.

I have 6 guys remaining graded higher than Loveland (one isn't on the poll though). -
TSW 1.0 Poll - Who should the Bills select at #30
GunnerBill replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall
I think it is probably because the known about sexual assault allegations are not all there is on him. And based on the rumour mill that is the way it is trending. -
TSW 1.0 Poll - Who should the Bills select at #30
GunnerBill replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall
I voted Amos (I just think he is perfect for our scheme) but if Scourton was on the list..... I'd have gone for him. My view on Green is if he is there at #30, you should stay away. Because he only makes it that far is the off field stuff is bad (and I have spoken to one beat reporter this week, not Bills different market who said what we know at this point is tip of the iceberg). -
Yea I just don't think he is their physical prototype.
