EndZoneCrew Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 Not me. The Bills have two kinds of draft picks: busts, and players who would be successful if they played on another team. I would expect nothing less from you
billsfan89 Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 I like Ragland in the second round, but I think I would have rather just waited to see who was there when we picked. Lots of talent still on the board; don't think it was necessary to lose picks. Anyway, worst case is we have a very talented LB and no 4th round picks...not a horrible thing. That's kind of my view, Ragland fits the need for an early down run stuffing MLB who can play with some versatility. A bit of a high price to pay for a type of player the team needed.
DrDawkinstein Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 You should change over to NFL Network. Mayock is far better than anyone over there. No NFLN
CommonCents Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 I have a new thing I like to watch on this board, the two of you have quickly supplanted all other trolls on the board and are battling for supremacy; I vacillate between which one of you is worse because you keep one-upping each other! [/quote Yeah because I'm in the same boat as the guy who constantly bags on Rex because I disliked the trade and pick of Ragland, which keep in mind was made by Whaley not Rex. Totally reasonable.

QCity Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 Well, if a team goes hurry up it means they are stuck with the same personnel grouping that they had on second down. I'll take those odds. On a "normal" third down how many front 7 do you want on the field? (how many DBs do you want on a passing down?) Eisen mentioned a QB and Mayock quickly said no way. I expect up to be nickel around 50% of the time. Can he stay on the field in nickel? He had issues in college and as we all know things only get faster in the NFL. If he is not a liability in nickel, then it's a fine pick. Otherwise....
Virgil Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 All of these analysts are relaying opinions and quotes from people on the team that are not going to be honest about anything. If the Bills wanted Cook, they would have taken him. At this rate, they could still get him. I have no opinion of the guy and I'd rather have the kid from Stanford if he's there in the 4th. People were trading up everywhere and LB's were coming off the board like crazy. And to say Ragland is a weak position? How weak was it last year when our ILB kept bouncing off of RB's and giving up TD's?! Seriously, first round talent and we benefited from teams having needs at other positions. Be happy. We have two first round picks on our team, lost a 4th next year and a pick this year we didn't originally have. If I'm telling you that you are being negative, you are really in trouble. I'm not in optimistic mode, because we still have Rex at the helm, but we get an OT, S, LB, I may start to perk up a bit

He had issues in college and as we all know things only get faster in the NFL. If he is not a liability in nickel, then it's a fine pick. Otherwise.... He did play in Bama's nickel packages.
John from Riverside Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 This also annoys me. Rex is living in the past. Kicking the **** out of the QB means A LOT more then stopping the rush.... But Rex is smarter than everyone. Yes because we didnt take a player in round 1 for that
MRW Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 Not me. The Bills have two kinds of draft picks: busts, and players who would be successful if they played on another team. Don't forget guys who would've still been available later.
K-9 Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 Yes because we didnt take a player in round 1 for that Ouch. That's gonna leave a mark. GO BILLS!!!

He had issues in college and as we all know things only get faster in the NFL. If he is not a liability in nickel, then it's a fine pick. Otherwise.... That's not what I asked you. Do this...list the starting 11 as you see them. 3-4-4 Then add 1-2 DBs depending on your preference. Now, tell me who you are pulling off the field. I don't see this as a concern.
26CornerBlitz Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 Reggie Ragland: 'Can't wait to get started' (0:55)Reggie Ragland discusses his excitement to play for his new head coach. Listen - Ragland: "Always Wanted to Play for Rex" (6:09)Bills 2nd round pick out of Alabama, LB Reggie Ragland calls in to answer questions from the Buffalo Media just minutes after being selected.
John from Riverside Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 We are worse because we have opinions other than "OBD you do nothing wrong!" Sorry for being skeptical about Rex and the team after watching last season. No...your worse because your reasons for your takes are from the fricken twilight zone We just got 2 players at positions of need with 1st round projections in rounds 1 and 2 I cant wait till we pick a player totally off the grid. You might implode.

CommonCents Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 Lol. I didn't say I hated the picks. Commonsense brought up a good point. We are slow upfront, even with these added picks as no huddle, quick paced offenses will take advance at which several posters crushed him. Hah don't group me up with you or anyone else. I disliked the pick and trade I expressed that and what I believe to be valid concerns and I got totally flamed. I'm not a guy who sits around here hating on everything just to stir up conversation. I can handle a flaming I'm a big boy, anyone that wants to have an actual conversation and not a pissing contest is always welcome to me.
