bg17 Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Don Banks 2nd round mock posted today at si.com had Darby going to Steelers six picks after Bills. So there's that.
Malazan Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 So Mayock had him rated lower? Why do teams even employ scouts when they could just go by Mayok's ratings? Ourlad's (run by some former NFL scouts) had Darby rated 47th in the draft. There ARE other opinions. The hell you say!
Reed83HOF Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Good info. Our scouts and last couple drafts have been good. I expected/wanted Maxx Williams, but I have no reason not to trust us... I am fine with BPA and honestly you can't have enough DBs
Kelly the Dog Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 A job well done. They got their Guy!! Imo Well done with your source and presaging the pick as well.
Agent 91 Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 There wasn't a QB, OL, or TE who had a better grade than Darby. I live in FL and have watched him. He's ok, but not a stud. disappointing, but I'll give Rex and Doug some rope. If the third round pick isnt the guard from Louisville that rope better be to hang themselves.
Best Player Available Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 So much going BPA at 50. leodis light IMO.
CountDorkula Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Bucky Brooks @BuckyBrooks 32m32 minutes ago Several scouts that I trust believed @buffalobills new CB Ron Darby is the "real deal". World-class athlete. Crazy upside at CB2 or NDB Jay Skurski @JaySkurski 8m8 minutes ago According to Darby's bio handed out by the #Bills, he was targeted once every 10.1 snaps -- the fewest of any cornerback in the draft. Soooo many sacks coming Buffalo's way. Two Island CB's. I like it
Kelly the Dog Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 So much going BPA at 50. leodis light IMO. He clearly was the Bills BPA.
dave mcbride Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Well done with your source and presaging the pick as well. Did leroi pick it? If so, kudos to him.

K-9 Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 If we were gonna take a smaller DB I would have taken senquez Golson from ole miss. He can track the ball well He's 7 lbs. heavier than the first corner taken in the draft and only an inch shorter, but has longer arms. His athleticism can't be ignored, either. Highest vertical at 41.5", 4.38 40, 10' 7" broad jump and an impressive 15 reps in the bench. Given this staff's previous affection for press corners that can run, I'm not surprised at all. GO BILLS!!!

zonabb Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Drafting is like buying a car. Ask 32 people what kind of car they want and for what purposes and with what amenities/qualities and you'll have different rankings. Darby seems to be ranked right around where he was picked so it's not a talent question as much as need, and I still would argue that CB is always a need when you have McKelvin and Graham.

It's why the 6'10" Olajuwon played like he was 7'1". Edited May 2, 2015 by dave mcbride
billsfan1959 Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Did leroi pick it? If so, kudos to him. Yes he did in an earlier thread. Well done.
BillsInMaine Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Surprised by this pick.. don't see as a position of need. I'lll give Whaley the benefit of the doubt that the O line will be solidified somewhere else. Either internally or via a later pick. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_6e2kRrXIw I kinda like him after watching this. He didnt get many picks, but created tons of chances. Looks like a good tackler too.
thebandit27 Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Ok...I realized I'm a bit annoyed at the moment, so apologies to anyone who caught the wrong end of my vitriol. I just don't like this pick, and I'm normally the guy that can Viktor Frankl nearly any draft choice.
Kelly the Dog Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Did leroi pick it? If so, kudos to him. Yup. Couple days ago. I agree with what you said, too. In a year or two I may love this guy, and he will probably be very good. And by the time the season starts I think between Pegula, Whaley, Rex, Roman and Kromer our OL will be better than it seems now. If they don't draft an OL in round 2-3 I expect them to acquire a veteran starter somewhere before the season. So it's not that bad. But I thought we could have got a couple different things done here I would have liked more. it's just an opinion.
