[2017 NFL Draft: Round 2 & 3 Discussion]

Morten Andersen and Joe Klecko getting hammered backstage.

[RD 2, Pick 37: Zay Jones (WR) - ECU]

I'm loving this draft.

 

And we got that extra 1st next year.

[RD 1, Pick 27: Tre'Davious White (CB) - LSU]

The stupid part is not taking a stud like Foster at 27. It's not stupid to take a much less expensive replacement for the next 4-5 years vs overpaying Gilmore. I have zero issue with that. I don't see white as a difference maker and could have had a good DB in the 2nd round. Hated seeing a rookie GM like Lynch promptly move up for Foster. That about says it all.

 

Might be looking at that the wrong way. A division rival traded that pick to the rookie GM, and that pick has character concerns. I wouldn't anoint Lynch quite yet.

[RD 1, Pick 27: Tre'Davious White (CB) - LSU]

I really feel like a lot of people are conveniently overlooking the additional picks when complaining about this pick. This is not a CB for CB swap. This is a CB swapped for a CB, a 1st, a 3rd, and a ton of saved money.

[The only question you need to ask yourself]

Gaining a 1st round pick while addressing a position of need is not a Buffalo Bills cyclical drafting habit, or whatever people are saying. It's that simple.

[Your Favorite Targets @ 44 Tomorrow ?]

Juju. Two positions of need taken care of, with additional picks. I'd love it.

[RD 1, Pick 27: Tre'Davious White (CB) - LSU]

And clements

 

We're going back to Clements now?

 

So in the last 16 years we've drafted 9 players in the early rounds who represent roughly 30-45% of the defense that's on the field at any given time.

 

OK, that's cool. Is that really an issue? I imagine most teams have drafted that many defensive backs. All teams need to draft a ton of defensive backs.

[RD 1, Pick 27: Tre'Davious White (CB) - LSU]

I feel like there's a lot of hypocrisy with the Gilmore angle. A lot of people were calling for his head early last season. Why exactly can't this guy be an upgrade? A potential upgrade in addition to a ton of money saved and extra picks?

[RD 1, Pick 27: Tre'Davious White (CB) - LSU]

Initially I just stared blankly at my screen, but the reaction from people much smarter than I am is overwhelmingly positive.

[Bills trade #10 for #27, a 3rd, and 2018 1st]

Like 80% of the people who don't like this trade seem to have "420" in their name.
