UCLA Bills Fan Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) And the Bills don't take him they will regret it. Spare me with all the talk that it is not a need position. Draft dynamic football players that can be game changers. The kid fits the bill. Elite production at a big time college program. He holds the record for tackles for loss in a season. Add an off the charts athlete and you have the makings a big time d tackle. I mean he is 285 pounds and ran a 4.65. Are you fing kidding me. That is insane for a man that size. All I could do is hope... Edited March 20, 2014 by UCLA Bills Fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I agree 100%. That is unless Clowney, Mack, Robertson, or Watkins slide to us. Then we have a tough choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsVet Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Can he line up at FS or WR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerball Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 This must be a very inaccurate assessment then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max997 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Bills have Dareus Kyle and Branch at DT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mannc Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 This must be a very inaccurate assessment then. Well, since the combine, I have consistently seen Donald projected as a top 20 pick,. Seems strange that he would be downgraded for lack of strength when he did 35 reps on the bench. And what does "good foot athlete" mean? That might be the single most ridiculous term I have ever read in a scouting report; even sillier than "slow eyes". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 If he can play DE, I'd be all over him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonzo1105 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I'm not against it either. The people laughing don't know anything about him. He could play inside or out. With that said, I can't see the Bills pulling the trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOKBILLS Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 This must be a very inaccurate assessment then. It is...He's a very good prospect... That being said, despite the fact that it's not a need in Buffalo, I might be a little more interested in Donald in a normal Draft...But what the OP is forgetting is that this Draft is absolutely loaded at the top with potentially dynamic players at many different positions...In a normal year a guy like Donald would stand out more despite the fact that he's a bit of a tweener...But this year the Bills can have their cake and eat it too...They can get a premium prospect at a need position...And as good as Donald is, he's a 4-3 DT...A one-gap maniac...I bet Lovie Smith absolutely drools when he watches Donald because he's a perfect fit for Lovie's D...He's a 290 lb version of Sapp...Super quick up the field...The Bills have not one, but two guys who already do the same thing really well... Anyway...I'm pretty much fundamentally against stockpiling talent at one position...To me it's just not team building...In this case it would be DT building...But that's just my philosophy...I realize others see it differently...

JPS Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 It's prob a NO, but if you were to tell me he's the next Warren Sapp or even Sheldon Richardson, I don't know how you ignore it. Lately, I'm swayed by those arguing for a playmaker on offense and going with beef in 2 and 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebandit27 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 If be totally fine with Donald--as long as the team feels, like I do, that he's one of the 10 best players in the draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oman128 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Can he stop the run? cuz the Bills haven't in the last several years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snamsnoops Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Think we already have players like him. I don't think think picking this kid at 9 overall is worth it. Too much talent in this draft. I see this kid sliding to the 2nd and maybe even 3rd round. This is not a position of need and we seem to have good depth. LB, WR, TE, or T for me with our first.

Donald is probably a top 15-20 pick minimum...He's a good prospect in a Draft full of very good prospects at the top... But I do agree the Bills should look elsewhere...

Formerly Allan in MD Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 With that kind of speed, what kind of linebacker would he make? Of course he may have little lateral movement. But it's interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonborn10 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I'm fine with that. Play him as a 4-3 DE as a rookie. Kyle Williams time is almost up. He is awful against the run and I think this will be his last year with the Bills. They will resign Dareus. This kid can move to 4-3 DT and change-up 3-4 DE next year.

DallasMac Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 He is a great player that will most likely be drafted in the first 20-25 picks. If we draft defensive line I think it would be a defensive end. If we run a 4-3 who is the DE opposite Mario. Doesn't seem like a strong 4-3 DE draft though.

Can he line up at FS or WR? Absolutely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
