JaCrispy Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 Been Saying Haason Reddick for a few weeks now. Would love to trade down a couple spots to say 14-15 and gain a 3rd This guy is a beast...he can rush the passer, cover, and contain...I could see him as our Von Miller, therefore I wouldn't mind taking him at 10.
Jamie Muellers Ghost Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 I was a big champion of Sal's before he became wgr beat writer for the bills. But I really hate now how he talks down to his audience, and sounds like he's had 10 cups of coffee when he's on air now. Almost makes me wish for Joe .B back. @salsports Just went back and listened closely to what Sean McDermott said about MLB. I do NOT believe he said what many others do re: Ragland.... IMO McDermott did NOT say Ragland will start at MLB. He said "we'll start at middle LB," meaning that's where he will line up to begin OTAs He definitely praised Ragland's leadership and IQ, but sounds to me like he said "we'll start (with him) at MLB," not "will start at MLB"... ..and that's when he also talked about Preston being "in the same mold" and how the position will be fun to watch. It will be a competition
BillsFan17 Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 Give me Reddick at 10 and I'll be a happy camper
ndirish1978 Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 My condolences to the Mayock family for Mike's new crack addiction. I'll comfort Leigh any day You keep my woman's name off your lips
Buffalo Barbarian Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 McDerminator you mean? Lol- I can't spell, but Man is in there so that makes him the MAN too !!
wilcoam Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 Reddick, like Howard, may be the fastest rising player in the draft over the last 3 weeks If he's that good I hope he is in the mix at #10 However I would not even rule out the dropping Allen, whom could be a steal at #10 DT, OLB, S, CB, WR, whatever, just go get a great player jc
ALF Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 Jordan Willis, OLB/DE, Kansas State Height: 6-3. Weight: 255. Arm: 33.25. Hand: 10. 40 Time: 4.53. Projected Round (2017): 2-3. https://walterfootball.com/draft2017OLB.php
YoloinOhio Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 Jordan Willis, OLB/DE, Kansas State Height: 6-3. Weight: 255. Arm: 33.25. Hand: 10. 40 Time: 4.53. Projected Round (2017): 2-3. https://walterfootball.com/draft2017OLB.php according to Astro, the Bills scouted him twice in person.
KellyToughII Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 McDermott said as of now Alexander and Humber are starting OLBs and Ragland is starting MLB. Preston is a backup right now. Reddick is a real possibility at 10 if that is the case. The LB out of Vandy could be a possibility in a trade down scenario. I think Reddick would be the best fit for this D in the entire draft. I would say WR, but I am now leaning LB.
starrymessenger Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 How "early?" If it's not Foster, I don't see another at 10. Agree. He is LK with perhaps less instincts/anticipation. He is awesome but I wonder whether and for how long he can play and remain healthy at the next level given his hyper aggressive style. Has had problems with stingers. If health is not an issue he would be a deserving pick at 10 fo sho.
YoloinOhio Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 (edited) @salsports I've confirmed w/Bills what I interpreted earlier as correct. McDermott did NOT say Ragland will start at MLB. He said he'll start OUT there ...(meaning in minicamps).. and so will Preston Brown. Then, they'll see if that is best for for both/either. Edited March 29, 2017 by YoloinOhio
CanadianFan Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 Man we got enough LBs. This draft isn't about LBs. get the DBs and WRs. best talent out there.
NewEra Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 Man we got enough LBs. This draft isn't about LBs. get the DBs and WRs. best talent out there. We have enough LBs? Enough Lb for field a team, yes. Imo we have 1 starter quality LB (and he's coming off surgery and has never played a snap in the NFL). Not sure what you're talking about. LBs are extremely important in this system. Especially LBs with the ability to cover. That's not something we have at the moment. Foster at 10 or trade down and grab Reddick, Cunningham or Davis then draft A WR and some DBs. When a draft is loaded at DB, that doesn't mean you should draft them early. You can get quality DBs later.
billsfan89 Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 I wouldn't be shocked to see a 3rd round LB, team doesn't have a pure coverage LB on the roster unless they bring Zach Brown back. I would be shocked to see one taken in the first two rounds but round 3 or later wouldn't surprise me.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 I wouldn't be shocked to see a 3rd round LB, team doesn't have a pure coverage LB on the roster unless they bring Zach Brown back. I would be shocked to see one taken in the first two rounds but round 3 or later wouldn't surprise me. Alex Anzalone would be a good fit in the third, he a every down LB with great athleticism but has injury history.
LabattBlue Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 So as of today, one of our OLB is some guy name Humber, and the other guy is a situational pass rusher who before last season was primarily a ST'er? If this is the case, here's hoping for an OLB in the first, second or third round.
jeffismagic Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 If we draft a non-pass rushing linebacker at 10 I try not to break something. So Billsian.
