Blokestradamus Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 (edited) Dammit! This guy can't cover, a 2 down guy. Why? Cravens could have covered Gronk at least. I don't get this at all. Cravens is the same speed and 25-30 pounds lighter. Edited April 30, 2016 by Blokestradamus
4merper4mer Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 @BuffaloBillsPR The @buffalobills have now added the ACC Defensive Player of the Year (Shaq Lawson) & the SEC Defensive Player of the Year (Reggie Ragland). Quick call Montreal and trade for Michael Sam
Dragonborn10 Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 I hate it. We left Jerran Reed and Michael Thomas on the board for a LB that is slow, over pursues, misses tackles, and has an enlarged aorta, AND we gave up two 4th round picks to do it. Ugh. Hate it. 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.
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 Yep, and two huge needs, but NFL ready! One could argue they replaced bradham and Mario with better fits for Rex D.
Bills Fan of St Augustine Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 Never thought we'd walk away with Shaq and Ragland! Just gave up and extra 4th and fill big needs with solid D players. I really like what we've done. 3rd round QB or WR?
Marty McFly Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 Who is our NT again? We gonna waste Dareus there? Or Kyle? theyre gonna take Reader in the 4th round for a true NT. Ill bet my socks we will draft a true NT/DT before this draft ends.
DrDawkinstein Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 I was hoping for a coverage LB/S but I'll take the big hitter. Cant argue against that talent.
BuffaloBillsMagic1 Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 Looks like all defenfensive draft to prove Rex is great defensive coach.
Reed83HOF Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 Jay Skurski @JaySkurski 18s18 seconds ago Whaley says that there was three players under consideration for the 19th pick. Lawson was first on that list, Ragland was second. #Bills
Big Turk Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 Wow...our defense just got all kinds of nasty over the last 24 hours...
nucci Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 None taken, Talley was a warrior, Warriors aren't the way of the NFL anymore. The game is trending in a totally different direction and adapting is paramount. what does that mean....a warrior? He was a LB...this is a good pick....you just like hating everything. Why are you even a fan? if you can't be optimistic in the off-season what is the point?
BuffaloBillsMagic1 Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 Yeah I'm with you. Too much to give up.

CommonCents Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 True, Denver and Carolina had gross defenses and high octane pass happy offenses. Same with Seattle. Luke Kuechly and Thomas Davis Preston Brown and Ragland Brandon Marshall and Danny Trevathan Which LB's can cover backs and tight ends? Which can't?
blargo Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 Fwiw to the people asking: we have a 3, 4, 5 and two 6's No 7th, we are Doomed, Doomed I say....
Chilly Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 theyre gonna take Reader in the 4th round for a true NT. Ill bet my socks we will draft a true NT/DT before this draft ends. If we do get a good NT I'll be better with this pick, but man... it's a tough pill to swallow for me, taking an ILB when a huge, impact NT in Jerran Reed was there. Gotta get that top NT to free up the ILBs to make plays.
nucci 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. you don't want to trade up for a LB but you will for a K...and in the 3rd round?
CommonCents Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 what does that mean....a warrior? He was a LB...this is a good pick....you just like hating everything. Why are you even a fan? if you can't be optimistic in the off-season what is the point? I hate everything? You have me confused with someone else. I'm critical of being stuck in the same ole line of thinking but far from the hate everything type.
Alphadawg7 Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 Love this trade up to get this kid. I remember when most these same people were complaining about Kiko pick and then the Preston pick. Our FO has proven they can pick LB's and now this is the highest graded and most upside guy yet and people still bashing it. You were wrong the other times, and I bet you're wrong this time. This kid is a beast at LB. People whining about covering Gronk...well if we only drafted a LB who covered Gronk...then guess what, we would always be drafting LBs because odds are no one we take can cover Gronk and he's one of the 5 best players in the league. So why worry about just Gronk, which was never going to find a LB who magically covers Gronk in the 2nd like an All Pro, and focus on the best overall LB available, and graded by many as the best ILB overall in the draft. But nothing new, same people who wine over every pick every year for the most part. Yet Whaley has been having very good drafts and this might be his best yet.
26CornerBlitz Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 Luke Kuechly and Thomas Davis Preston Brown and Ragland Brandon Marshall and Danny Trevathan Which LB's can cover backs and tight ends? Which can't? They have a guy named Zach Brown who can really cover in case you missed the news.
Andrew Son Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 Who is our NT again? We gonna waste Dareus there? Or Kyle? Don't have him yet
