I'm not sure about this... Another CB. With Kuechly gone, I thought Buffalo would select Floyd. I would have been happy with that pick.

 

But like Buddy said, you can never have enough CB's. And with Welker running all over the place, I guess it's a smart move. I do like the idea of a AWill/Gilmore corner tandem for the future though.

 

Can anybody tell me more about Gilmore? Anyone see him play on a consistent basis?

You know, I didn't see it that way at first. But, wow. Yeah, sort of have that vibe. Look at the last few draftees we have had and most never saw much of the field the first year. Dareus, obviously a top 3 tick does not count

 

 

GF also commented on that. "His hair is funny looking and his tie doesn't match. Wow, he looks like he's upset, is that the team you like? His hat looks so goofy."

In Gilmore's head it looked like:

 

"Oh ****, not Buffalo! Not Buffalo. God what did I do to deserve this! Well, I'll be a free agent in 4 years, I have some time to prepare to play only during my contract year."

I absolutely hate taking DBs in R1, but I think this one makes sense and its a solid start to this draft. Now its time to concentrate on the offense.

good pick, McGee and Florence are getting old, and McKelvin is still trying to figure out how to turn on the tv to see who the Bills picked

 

 

Not only that but McKelvin is in his final year.

I am neutral on this pick. Some think Very highly of Gilmore and the Bills did need a CB, but others think Gilmore should have gone quite a bit later.

 

I know that Mile Mayock really likes Gilmore.

Florence, McGee and McLovin won't be Bills after this year and if they are they'll be coming off the bench. Getting a starting CB this year to team up with Williams means we'll only have to find nickel and dime backs next offseason to fill in the sub packages. I like it

Amazing how many on here still think they are smarter than Nix. Screaming WR or LT when none were worth #10 while this kid was. We got best value for #10. I was hoping for Kuechley, but Carolina was smart enough to take him right before us.

The Bills have their FA pass rusher, which makes the

savvy, hard-hitting Gilmore an excellent pick, one that might just trump Aaron Williams’ selection last year. Compared with Williams, Gilmore has more height (he’s 6’2” to Williams’ generous 6’0”), better speed (4.40 to 4.56), better blitz skills, and similar change of direction (3.94 shuttle to 4.07, and 6.61 to 6.72 in the 3-cone). This speedy duo of aggressive cornerbacks will rival most NFL teams, and under McGee’s tutelage, Williams-Gilmore could rival the Bills’ all-time CB tandems. As a returner, Gilmore would also be taught by McGee, with his NFL’s third-highest-yards-per-return.

 

This was my pick at DraftTek, so DraftTek is 7 for 10 in guessing the pick. It's continuously being updated here:
