I agree with you. There is a solid possibility he doesn't go in round 1

Cody Mauch isn’t a tackle in the NFL but I played a long

There are not many true MLB prospects in this draft. A lot of undersized guys masquerading as MLBs Campbell and Drew Sanders Then it’s Trenton Simpson who I don’t think is a Mike but others will disagree. Daiyon Henley from Washington State would be a good consolation prize in round 2. Dorian Williams is slightly undersized but covers well and can be groomed in that spot probably round 3 or 4. After that it gets into a what’s your flavor to fill a spot. Pappoe from Auburn and Overstreet from Texas both highly recruited and undersized possess great athleticism but have never put it together as football players. Noah Sewell from Oregon looks the part but plays like cheap tissue paper and processes slowly. Ivan Pace Jr from Cincinnati looks the part of a MLB but he is 5’10 and has yet to run a 40 yard dash time. Can he overcome his limitations? He was a hell of a college player in an aggressive defense at Cinci. I’m intrigued as I was very high on Malcolm Rodriguez who was drafted round 6 last year and ended up starting for the Lions. Last guy I’ll bring up is Anfernee Orji from Vanderbilt. Played outside there but think he can definitely play Mike in the NFL has ideal height weight speed and had good production in college. Think he could be a good NFL player

We need good young players on cheap contracts. We only have 59 guys under contract with no cap space when we need 90 to go to camp with. I think ideally we'd draft 8 or 9 this year instead of the 6 we have currently.

Henley I can get behind. Sewell no

Like I said in the other thread, if you want a replacement for Edmunds you better get Campbell or Drew Sanders. If you don’t get one of those two, you’re better off rolling with Bernard/Spector and seeing what they have. I like Dorian Williams but he’s also undersized. Pappoe, Sewell, Overstreet were all high end recruits who are good athletes but bad football players who can’t tackle. This LB class is that bad

If the Bills are going LB it better be in round 1 or 2 after a trade down. This LB class flat out sucks. I also don’t think that Simpson is a good MLB prospect he’s better in the Milano role. If they don’t get Campbell or Drew Sanders you might as well wait until later like around 4 and get a Williams from Tulane or like him.

I do a live 7 round mock draft yearly with like 20 guys. I’ll make a post about it after it’s done(we are just starting round 5). I went with a Tackle as well with the first pick.

Christian Benford is not playing in the slot which is where the nickel plays. Benford is going to play boundary CB and cross train at Safety. The backup nickel is Cam Lewis. If Johnson gets hurt it’s Lewis going on not Benford. They need a backup safety/nickel who is better than Cam Lewis and Siran Neal

they need another Safety who can play nickel. I don’t want to see Cam Lewis on the field

The 3 worst ranking sites I see out there every year are ESPN, CBS, and Drafttek. I don’t agree with very much and you shouldn’t either

While I love their reports on guys. A lot of times their projections dont match what’s currently happening in the draft landscape. Could someone draft him in round 4 on pure potential sure that happens. I think more round 5-6 is justifiable but it only takes 1 team

Kuntz can’t block worth *****, his hands are not great, and he looks nothing like a 4.55 guy on tape. That would be this guy. You want the best of both worlds hes your guy.

See and thats whats great about the scouting opinions. What you feel is a pigeon hole keeping him down, I see as a guy who can play 3 positions for 1 player and has higher value than others because of it. Its not a knock I find this aspect of things fun. I disagree with the late 3rd. Could you talk me into early 3rd round then yes I can go with that.

That’s why so many fans get pissed when X, Y player gets passed up for some unknown or lesser guy. Most scouting reports are outdated even from reputable places. You have to watch with your own eyes and formulate your own opinion. I’ll give you an example. I started watching the safety position. I watch Quan Martin out of Illinois. I see a guy who excels as a Nickel CB, can play the deep half in zones really well who is a realizable tackler despite his size. Has played in the box and the boundary at an average level. Then I look at the combine numbers and see 4.47, 44 inch Vert etc. So I’m like damn good football player, who’s versatile, shown he’s a high level athlete. I’m like let me check the draft prognosticators. All like 4th and 5th round. Instead of questioning myself because of an old scouting report, I laugh because I know watching tape and how the NFL works that Quan Martin is most likely going to go in round 2.

His scouting report comes out as the standard white guy scouting report. Well what he might lack in physical traits he makes up for with his high football IQ, coming from a winning pedigree, and his hand placement and agility. His scouting reports say he’s agile. The eye test and his RAS score say differently. He’s a RT or a Guard. RTs of today don’t have to be mean mauler types with heavy hands. That thinking is from 20-30 years ago. That’s like telling me the best DE is still the RDE. Eye roll worthy

The problem is he’s not agile. He’s a stiff no knee bend kind of tackle with slow feet

I’ll pass on Antonio Johnson big and slow guys who don’t take the ball away is not a trait system I like. When it comes to Safety and he’s a hybrid. Give me Jartavius Martin from Illinois

So you don't see a need when Poyer and Hyde are essentially on 1 year deals in their 30's and their primary backup almost died on the field. Are you kidding? This team needs at least 1 Safety in the top 4 rounds in my opinion. As a side note, this LB class absolutely sucks. You better get Simpson, Campbell, or Sanders because the rest of the crop are either extremely undersized, great athletes who can't play football, or guys who struggle to tackle. This class of LB's is straight garbage

I wonder if there is something out there about him either personally or injury related. You haven't heard one peep about the guy and there has to be a reason for that.

You can get both but there is no # 1 WR in this draft with the exception of the upside of Quinton Johnson. JSN is a good WR, Addison, Flowers are good WR's but they are going to be really good # 2's in the NFL or slot guys. The Tight Ends can be really good difference makers. The problem is to run proper 12 personnel you at least need willing blockers if not above average blockers to have that versatility that you mention. Even the top guys like Kincaid, Musgrave, Kuntz, are pure pass catchers who can't block college guys let alone NFL defenders. Then you have a guy like Darnell Washington who is a great blocker but is a bad route runner who lumbers in and out of his routes. The only two guys that you can pair with Dawson Knox to make a true 12 personnel that you can draft early are Sam LaPorta and Tucker Kraft. I have 100% from the beginning said that Tucker Kraft is the perfect TE for the Buffalo Bills. He fits their character profile, he fits their scheme profile, and he fits the dynamics of a TE who can block and stretch the field vertically and horizontally. He, imo, is Rob Gronkowski lite and with time could become an all Pro type TE. I very rarely set myself this strong on a guy but I really really like him and feel if he's there in round 2 the Bills should take him. I wouldn't even be against dropping out of the first and taking him early to mid 2nd round. Back to the original is Ken Dorsey actually prefers 12 personnel as its very unique in the fact that defenses have to be more accountable for more parts. If you have Diggs on the outside with whoever else you with Davis and you have Dawson Knox and a high production 2nd TE it stresses a defense because its very hard to cover the entire back 7 across the entirety of the field while also accounting for the fact that you have 7 guys on the line of scrimmage and can run it down their throat at any time.

That’s the world we live in now. It’s pathetic no one has a backbone

No but literally every report that comes out about the Bills well beforehand does anyone end up signing? Answer is no. Literally nothing about McGovern Harty, or Kyle Allen(outside of the assumption since him and Josh are friends. We’ve been literally linked to multiple RBs, LBs, TES which are all needs probably driven by agents.

utterly shocked that an internet rumor on the Bills turned out to be false

Tyrel Dodson ain’t starting. Bernard or Spector will end up getting that job This is exactly what I’ve done in my live draft on a different site. Traded down to 27 to 30 then 48. Have 5 top 100 picks and the first two went on a RT and TE and I’m targeting WR or Safety with my next pick. Either Tyler Scott or Sydney Brown from Illinois
