John from Riverside Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 Had to listen to the picks on NFL Radio. I found myself fist pumping when Ragland was selected. Just love the pick and the value. We had an extra 4th this year, so we basically gave away next years 4th to move up and get a 1st round, immediate starter at LB from an NFL style college defense. I could care less about his wonderlic. His speed is more than good for an ILB, especially in a 3-4. I just see a beast who will help with our run support, clog the holes, and overall lead this team. This pick makes me like the Lawson pick a ton more. I'm very, VERY happy with how this worked out. Rex....dont know if I have liked you any more then I have at this particular second
TakeYouToTasker Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 Home run, I hated him in the 1st but loved him in the 2nd. The Bills are killing it!! My sentiments exactly. He reminds me of a more athletic Chris Borland.
K D Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 I wasn't think QB at all. Round three or later. Who were you thinking they were taking when you heard there was a trade? I couldn't hear the TV but the analysts must have all suspected QB. I know I would have
Beerball Posted April 30, 2016 Author Posted April 30, 2016 The draft is suckering me back in with blind optimism! Great to see you!
26CornerBlitz Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 Who were you thinking they were taking when you heard there was a trade? I couldn't hear the TV but the analysts must have all suspected QB. I know I would have I was thinking Reed or Ragland.
John from Riverside Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 I was out to eat. Just getting back now. They had the draft on TV there but I couldn't hear it. Did you guys all freak out when they traded up? Everyone had to be thinking QB. Who trades up to get a MLB besides the Bills?! Anyhow, I think Ragland will be a good player but I'm concerned that they think he can be the weak side LB. Typically that's a super athletic guy like Bradham or Kiko. I would have pegged Ragland as the thumper guy like what Preston Brown does. I guess we'll see! Whaley wanted him at 19 if Shaq wasn't there so that'd pretty telling You do realize that OTHER teams were also moving up left and right in the 2nd round of this draft?
stinky finger Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 Yeah I'm with you. Too much to give up. I wanted a move up but not two fourth rounders for a guy that can only play 40% of the defensive snaps. Reed would have been the better choice. Maybe best to sit tight and take BPA. Then save those fourths to move into the third round and take the FSU PK.
26CornerBlitz Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 @buffalobills Reggie's bling. And these highlights show how he earned them: http://bufbills.co/4db1XO
DrDawkinstein Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 Who were you thinking they were taking when you heard there was a trade? I couldn't hear the TV but the analysts must have all suspected QB. I know I would have They all thought it was Cook on ESPN
Andrew Son Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 Because I don't think he's a 3 down LB. We'll see when teams go hurry up to try and trap him on the field. If you're going to trade up, then trade up for Jack. I think he pass rushes on passing downs
Beerball Posted April 30, 2016 Author Posted April 30, 2016 Because I don't think he's a 3 down LB. We'll see when teams go hurry up to try and trap him on the field. If you're going to trade up, then trade up for Jack. 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?) Who were you thinking they were taking when you heard there was a trade? I couldn't hear the TV but the analysts must have all suspected QB. I know I would have Eisen mentioned a QB and Mayock quickly said no way.
K D Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 Rex is certainly on a mission to fix this defense and reclaim some of the respect he lost after all of the problems we had last year. Hes definitely taking it personal. Bringing in Rob and calling in a favor with Ed Reed. First 2 picks are on D. He must be fired up with how well the draft seems to be going for him and what he wants to do
DC Tom Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 The draft is suckering me back in with blind optimism! Not me. The Bills have two kinds of draft picks: busts, and players who would be successful if they played on another team.
BuffaninATL Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 Who the hell said we were gonna trade up for a K in the 3rd?? Dragonborn10 at 8:07pm, that's the hell who ....
EndZoneCrew Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 Great to see you! Glad to be back. I am always reading on here, but I thought it was time to get "back on the wall"!
H2o Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 Glad to see two big people picked, from big time programs, with lots of accolades, and who know how to win.👍
26CornerBlitz Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 They all thought it was Cook on ESPN You should change over to NFL Network. Mayock is far better than anyone over there.
K D Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 You do realize that OTHER teams were also moving up left and right in the 2nd round of this draft? They specifically said Buffalo wanted Cook bad. Then they trade up. I would have immediately been thinking QB if I had seen it live
Saxum Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 So basically best case he's Brandon spikes, except brandon spikes is proven And has had multiple issues with NFL.
Virgil Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 Rex....dont know if I have liked you any more then I have at this particular second Awww, shucks
