[Friday Mock Draft Day!]

 

OLB under Pettine

DE under Schwartz

OLB under Rex

 

Yet, even calling him "a OLB in a 34", he still does the same job as a 43 DE. Line up on the

 

line, primarily rush the passer, stop the run, occasionally drop into coverage. Same position, different name in the different scheme. While there are some finer points that separate them, they are basically the same position for the purpose of our discussion.

 

 

Okay.

[Friday Mock Draft Day!]

 

Since the day he became a Bill. You can designate him whatever you like, but when he lines up as a stand-up DE and rushes the passer 90% of the time, he's a DL.

 

If we were still in Schwartz's D, he'd be a DE.

 

This is just semantics between a 34 and 43. Both have 4 guys on the line. Call them whatever you want.

I was talking about in 3-4 he has always been a OLB

[Friday Mock Draft Day!]

 

Yes, and for exactly the reason you pointed out, which is why I have come around on Reed. We need someone to hold down the Nose, take 2 blockers in the middle and eat up space, so Kyle and Dareus can get upfield as DEs, and our LBs can make plays behind them.

 

We'd have Hughes, Dareus, Reed, and Kyle on our DL. Im for it.

since when is Hughes DL

Why trade TT for 3rd rounder?

Would be happy with this draft if Nkmediche is a boom

Made a few minor trades to get this group..but they were all reasonable ..

Be surprised if correa falls

Used the Fanspeak Composite Board

 

19: R1P19

 

OT JACK CONKLIN

MICHIGAN STATE

 

- Fits our scheme, fills big need, seems like a no brainer to me.

 

49: R2P18

 

OLB SU'A CRAVENS

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

 

- - good value in 2nd round.. .has been stout against run even though he's smaller so should be a 3 down LB. Considering we go against Gronk twice per year and Aaron William's health is questionable I think this pick makes sense

 

 

80: R3P17

 

OLB KAMALEI CORREA

BOISE STATE - again.. seems like a good fit for Rex' scheme. Should be able to get some pass rush and big enough to be stout on the outside

 

 

92: R3P29

 

DE BRONSON KAUFUSI

BRIGHAM YOUNG - another good fit for scheme... big enough to be stout on the outside DE position but small enough to still maneuver and be versatile. From what I've read he already has very good technique so he may be able to contribute right away

 

 

112: R4P14

 

CB CYRUS JONES

ALABAMA - it's always good to draft corners.. seems adequate in coverage nothing special.. but he was electric as a punt returner and we were awful in the return game last year so hopefully he'd provide reliable depth at CB and would start as PR

 

 

139: R4P41

 

C GRAHAM GLASGOW

MICHIGAN - seems like good fit to fill Urbik's swing C/G role.

 

 

166: R5P27

 

DT D.J. READER

CLEMSON - big fat run stuffing 2 gapper.. would allow MD to move around more and get better matchups

 

 

218: R6P43

 

QB VERNON ADAMS

OREGON - Tyrod 2.0

Be surprised if correa falls to third

Be shocked if we got this draft, but I would love it.

Little heavy on the OLB though

[I expect the Bills to be VERY active in the draft.]

I would be fine if They trade down to try to get Nkmediche plus other draft picks

[What will New England do now?]

Question: What will NE do now?

 

Answer: Punt.................a lot.

Hopefully

[Brady suspension reinstated!]

About time they nailed him!
