No_Matter_What

Morning Gunner. I am sitting here processing everything what happened yesterday and waiting for your debrief. And he it is! I am going to read it, but meanwhile, I appreciate if you could check out the other thread about Day 2 potential Bills targets and answer my question about round 3 OL picks

Taken by Jags.

Like I said above, I want OL, I hope/think Beane wants the same, and there are clear candidates for round 2 - Schmitz, Avila, Tippmann, Bergeron, Mauch. Question for those of you who follow college and actually know something about players - are there any OL who you'd be happy with in the 3rd in case we miss out / go another direction in the 2nd? When looking at the consensus board there are Wypler, Duncan, Freelend, Zavala and Steen in the general area of our pick. Who would you be happy with?

I hope that we get one of those OL, and I am pretty sure Beane wants that too. If I count correctly there are 6 of them - Avila, Tippmann, Schmitz, Torrence, Bergeron or Mauch. Just find a way to draft any of them they like. Only problem I see that we probably won't be able to trade up since we already did it in the first round. So need to get lucky here. I'd spend that 5th we have if need be. If it goes another direction, just take BPA or trade down.

I know it was a specific situation since we jumped the Cowboys so some positions were more likely than others, but it doesn't change the point - from available players, who did you want the Bills to select? Go on record!

Love we went offense and probably BPA on most boards. Really hope Dorsey will figure out how to use him. If he does, it could be a great pick. Just like last year, I don't love that we had to spent 4th round pick. We need young cheap bodies for future years (or draft capital to move up in 2nd for spedific guy). Oh an everybody who said that McB will just draft defense because they can't help themselves should eat some crow. I hope this turns out to be a great pick.

Chris Sims surely did...

Shaping up so nicely that I am starting to afraid I am setting myself up for a big dissappointment

Yeah I confirm you had no idea

Not gonna happen imo. I just hope Beane doesn't panic and don't move up unless he really needs to.

Stop doing this pls.

Exactly. Hold on, trade only if absolutely neccesary. Save picks for trading up in the 2nd if anything.

Jets take Gonzales or JSN and are more than happy

Absolutely. This potentially helps us a LOT, because this guy pushes our targets down.

Lol there is exactly 0% chance of that happening.

I think he feels blessed.

You mean like one getting from 22 to 7 to grab Josh Allen?

Good morning everybody. 2.20 am here. Go Bills, pick some difference maker

On my cell phone so sry for short reply. I just had the feeling that you are saying that they are drafting defense again because that is what they do. I disagree with that. I think they realize that they need to change that approach a little bit. I am not saying that they won't draft defense in round 1, and I even want them to do so if that guy is clearly BPA. I am just saying that they will try to draft offense. I'd say Jordan Addison, some other WRs they like, or any OL they like are priorities. And only if they are not available, they go BPA on defense. I also fully expect them to draft 2 offensive players with their first 3 picks. I guess we will see soon

This is imo a very lazy take. You are seriously underestimating McB if you expect them to take Smith over Addison just because they prioritized defense in the past. They see what we see.

I definitely do

If you're right, will he be on the board at #60?

I sort of agree with what you say about bad timing. But what is your solution in this draft (or overall)? Drafting "BPA" all the time almost no matter what? Like you'll be fine if we go DE/CB this year? Or you think it is too late already and Beane is already forced to draft some positions?

I hate you both! I am not able to evaluate college players myself, and I so want to get excited about this draft, and you (and many others, like @GunnerBill) are doing everything you can to ruin it!

If you had gun to my head you'd draft anybody
