norton20 Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Best OL available (though I'd prefer a top guard at 50). A productive ILB would be worthwhile too
Bills Fan of St Augustine Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 BPA preferably on defense - S, LB, DE yup
BuffaloHokie13 Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 With Whaley being a wheeling-and-dealing type, I would be quite surprised if we stand pat with our picks. I could see us trading back into the 1st round to grab one of the top Tackles and have them play guard. Trade our 2nd, 3rd, and 4th to move to a mid-round 1st pick (plus a 5th?) and grab one of the top 10 LT prospects. I would be okay sacrificing some of our depth grabs this year to get a guaranteed OL starter, as long as our habit of gambling away future picks stops after going so hard all-in for this year. We don't have a 4th
YoloinOhio Posted March 23, 2015 Author Posted March 23, 2015 We don't have a 4thMaybe he meant next year's 4th. A lot of times, future picks are involved.
....lybob Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 I think OL, LB, DE, DT are all possibilities but there are a number of good sized CBs out there and if the Bills like one that's there at 50 I could see the Bills going in that direction.
BuffaloHokie13 Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Maybe he meant next year's 4th. A lot of times, future picks are involved. I'd hate to wager future picks on a 1st round pick in a draft where 16-20 players have 1st round grades. The top end talent is thin this year, but the mid level talent is solid throughout

Last year Whaley didn't want to give up any picks in that draft. I could see giving up one future pick like a 5th or later in 2016 to move up from say the 5th to the 4th this year if needed. That's pretty common.

ALF Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Keep going for OG or OT, maybe C until it is solid . A young QB won't have a chance to develop behind a bad OL like the Bills had last season. The running game was also killed.

Maury Ballstein Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 We need a LB that can cover Gronk. The whole NFL is still looking for that guy. Gronk is a stud.

Big Hurt Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 If we draft an OL, he must be able to run. We need to be able to run screens in game.
hondo in seattle Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Question for the O-Line people. Is it possible that running a different scheme upfront negates our need for an offensive lineman in the draft? Is it possible that some of the young guys hanging around OBD have been working on getting better? You make a legit point. But until we've proven that we have an effective OL, we keep drafting offensive linemen. Having a good OL is too important to rely on speculation and wishful thinking.
