Nanker Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Well, somebody was busy during the 2nd half of the JESTS game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrobot Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 S=P4. Recent performances of our backfield are reducing this need weekly. Rambo was Player of the Game vs Jets, but Duke Williams and “CB-S” players Corey Graham and McKelvin minimize the need. Bills have been to see: S JORDAN LUCAS PENN STATE 206 (RD6-7) S-WRF MALCOLM MITCHELL GEORGIA 240 (RD7-UDFA) CB=P6. Bills and Seahawks currently have the best CB situations in the NFL, but Whaley says he'll draft one every year. I think he takes a year off, given that he has only 6 picks this year. He has good backups now in McKelvin and 6'1" Free Agent Mario Butler. Brooks is a FA, so he's on the bubble. Robey is small, but above average. I know the Bills scouts have been to Mackensie Alexander's practices (Clemson, ya know), and also Tre'davious White. Both are likely first-rounders, so that's unlikely. Day 5 possibilities whom Bills scouts have seen are: CB KEVON SEYMOUR USC 118 - RD4 CARRINGTON ARIZONA ST 145 - RD5 CB WILLIAM LIKELY MARYLAND unranked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Let the record state that I want the Bills to draft Su'a Cravens and/or Jeremy Cash. They are the new NFL hybrid S/LB that play close to the line. Both of them are playmakers behind the line of scrimmage or pass defense. If the Bills D stays healthy and add a NT, Edge, and Cravens/Cash- I think they will be a strength Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astrobot Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 CB Eli Apple from OSU just declared. That actually adds another RD1 guy. Which by my count, makes it 38! Let the record state that I want the Bills to draft Su'a Cravens and/or Jeremy Cash. They are the new NFL hybrid S/LB that play close to the line. Both of them are playmakers behind the line of scrimmage or pass defense. If the Bills D stays healthy and add a NT, Edge, and Cravens/Cash- I think they will be a strength Duly noted. Cash is in "My Five", btw. I don't think Cravens is as ideal a fit for Rex's 3-4, and Jeremy Cash may still be there at RD2#51. If they don't take a "CB-S" in the first 2 days, I like Wayne Lyons who plays that "CB-S" role for Michigan. I don't think he makes it to RD6. 6-1 height, length, tenacity, Xfer from Stanford.

Koufax Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Let's go with BPA seven times and sort out the details in training camp. Taking inferior players because of where you think they fit early in an off season dooms you to get less value out of them over five seasons and build up a talent deficit. Injuries and turnover and time it can take for rookies to excel mean that picking what you think you need most isn't likely to be what you really need anyway. The good news is that BPA is an inexact science, and often there will be multiple very similarly graded players at a pick, so you can go WR over OT, etc. But knowingly passing on a better player so you can get an inferior player at a different position is silly. And I also don't buy the standard grades and think things need to be positionally weighted, so I'm not suggesting that we end up taking seven straight guards because Kiper grades them that way.

Try a BPA strategy on FanSpeak's OTC Simulator. It's fun. Rules are you have to take one of the top 3 players each round. You can go deeper if that position is filled by a previous pick you made. http://fanspeak.com/ontheclock/ Here's mine, following those rules: 1: R1P19 NT KENNY CLARK--sack a game, studies film a lot, savvy, varied passrush styles UCLA 2: R2P18 DE SHILIQUE CALHOUN--Swiss Army Knife: plays RDE, LDE, 3-4 OLB, 4-3 OLB, some 3-tech, even drops into coverage MICHIGAN STATE 3: R3P17 OT JOHN THEUS--Georgia LT who could play RG RT 4: R4P22 WR DE'RUNNYA WILSON--taller WR who gets head around, has terrific body control, makes bad-throw catches routine MISSISSIPPI STATE 5: R5P17 FS MAX REDFIELD--Might be a need for Bills. If you have Premium OTC simulator, you can trade picks! NOTRE DAME 6: R6P17 OLB/DE YANNICK NGAKOUE--2nd in nation in sacks with 14 MARYLAND 7: R7P21 QB KEVIN HOGAN--Value pick here. Smartest QB who can be inconsistent, streaky, 65-66percent, upside, upset USC STANFORD No OT or OG ever appeared in the top 3 selections.

Don't know enough about them to evaluate them as prospects, but I wouldn't be mad at the type of player you're describing. This defense is screaming for one (or two).

Astrobot Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 buckner a great fit for Rex scheme, right? Ron Quinn, whose opinion I value on Twitter, says he's the optimum fit.

He would likely transform the LB group, so critical to the success of this D. Edited January 4, 2016 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Son Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Without knowing much about the players that will be available, I say safety is our first pick. Rex needs a stud back there. LB is just as big a need but I think you can get those later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillsMagic1 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 We have enough DBs to choke a horse. Keep what we have, theyget health and we are set. Focus on defense with LBS and DL almopst all have to be replaced with Rex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luka Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Jayron Kearse, SS Clemson. 6'4", 210 lbs Kearse is a freak athletically. Physical at the line of scrimmage, excellent ball skills, would make an excellent SS/Linebacker hybrid. Question will be where he goes. I've seen any where from 1st to 3rd round.
