dbflaBill Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 Based off of the updated depth chart which position appears to be the most glaring need. IMO Holmes at number 2 is a lot better than Humber as the starting OLB. Kevon at the other corner I feel will be just fine. Getting more of a sense that this team is gonna go heavy on the defense (at least first 2 rounds) before they start addressing the O. I feel the Team will go LB/DB DB/LB in the first 2 rounds.
thebandit27 Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 I just don't know how anyone can be comfortable with Seymour at corner based on 200 snaps last year. LB is probably the weakest position, but corner (and QB for that matter) is far more important IMO.

thebandit27 Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 I am more comfortable with him starting at corner, than Humber starting at OLB. I find that odd...Ramon Humber has 14 starts at LB over the last 4 years, while Seymour has played all of 284 snaps at corner.
ChanOverChin Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 If the Bills stay at #10 overall in R1 they will select TE OJ Howard. I think he's a top 5 talent and is the type of player that only comes along once every ten years. He would greatly help the running game and would provide a matchup nightmare in the passing game. He would be the perfect complement to Taylor/McCoy/DiMarco/Clay/Watkins or Taylor/McCoy/Clay/Watkins/Holmes. I completely agree that both CB and LB are big needs, but you can't pass on great players in the draft when they fall in your lap. The draft is very deep at CB....and also at LB to a lesser degree. The Bills will draft those positions in later rounds for sure.

Grab Foster/Reddick or wait until there's a LB that meets value later. I'm talking 3 down LBs, not Edge guys, for what it's worth.

I'm not as high on Howard as others are, but if they take him, they better put him to good use. They've failed to do so with Sammy, and it's hurt the team. While I completely agree with you, it would be incredibly disheartening to see a corner taken at #10 after letting Gilmore walk out the door. Agreed.

Getting more of a sense that this team is gonna go heavy on the defense (at least first 2 rounds) before they start addressing the O. I feel the Team will go LB/DB DB/LB in the first 2 rounds. Let's not forget the Panthers ran a nickel based defense more than 50% of the time under McDermott. I wouldn't be shocked if did same thing here. I see Micah Hyde playing the Shaq Thompson role as hybrid LB/S and look to draft a S/CB in one of our top 3 picks and the other on a WR and QB. Edited March 29, 2017 by The Jokeman
ChanOverChin Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 You can't put Sammy to good use when he's never healthy enough to be on the field. He's a great talent, but he's teetering on complete bust material at this point until he proves otherwise. And to think, Whaley only used two R1 picks and a R4 pick to get him. :{
BuffaloBillsGospel Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 CB is the most glaring need, would have been BPA with either Lattimore/Sidney Jones at 10, since the Jones injury I don't think we have a shot at Lattimore, to me there is not a top 10 CB other than Lattimore, This is why I think this team takes Peppers unfortunately as he has the versatility to take on 2 positions of LB/S and most likely see him as the Thomas Davis of this defense.
thebandit27 Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 You can't put Sammy to good use when he's never healthy enough to be on the field. Stopped reading right there; he's started 37 of a possible 48 games as a pro. I don't know what definition of "never" you're using, but being available 77% of the time does not qualify as "never" by any definition I've seen.

I will officially be incensed if they take Peppers at #10 overall. I don't even have a 1st round grade on the guy.

They had to let Gilmore walk based on the contract he got. No way could the Bills have been able to afford him. letting him walk was money issue, and I'm ok with it.

quinnearlysghost88 Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 It's 2017, would it kill them to acknowledge that Slot CB/WR is a thing? And yet we have THREE FBs.

He fits the type of player Mcdermit would like. Can play multiple positions. Wouldn't love it, but wouldn't hate it

dbflaBill Posted March 29, 2017 Author Posted March 29, 2017 One man's "can play multiple positions" is another man's "can't play any positions". I can't argue with that. But He was Michigan's best player, they did their best to find ways for him to make an impact. Shaq Lawson had a strong year, and I think Jalen Ramsey will be just fine.
