0-Technique Posted April 25, 2017 Posted April 25, 2017 Our revamped secondary would benefit greatly from a fierce pass rush. I would have no problem with drafting Barnett.
NewEra Posted April 25, 2017 Posted April 25, 2017 That's fine, but I have a hard time believing a GM who tells me Lawson/Ragland were 1 and 2 on his wish list. What Woods got from the Rams is in line with what teams are willing to pay for WR2 in FA. See Sanu etc. I don't like that price tag and a team like the Bills can find good value in the draft. I was begging for Boyd in the second last year and mentioned many times that Woods wouldn't get paid here. This draft isn't even as important to me, the Bills are transitioning again and they have to many holes to fill. I hope they swing for the fences with an early QB. Whaley doesn't have enough wiggle room to draft true BPA and have a long term approach. Which is why I wanted him gone. You hate Whaley. Whatever we do, you will have a problem with because Whaley had Lawson and Ragland 1-2 on his wish list. End of story. No reasons for you to comment on any draft until Whaley is fired. Anything we do must suck because Whaley told us he had Lawson and Ragland 1-2 on his wish list. We get it. Go sulk in the corner until Whaley is fired
Blokestradamus Posted April 25, 2017 Posted April 25, 2017 If Barnett is the BPA at 10, we really need new scouts.
PIZ Posted April 25, 2017 Posted April 25, 2017 You don't think Barnett is top 10 talent? He outplayed Garrett this year and had 10 or more sacks every year he played.
Blokestradamus Posted April 25, 2017 Posted April 25, 2017 You don't think Barnett is top 10 talent? He outplayed Garrett this year and had 10 or more sacks every year he played. This pass rush class is Myles Garrett and a bunch of other dudes. I wouldn't touch another edge guy after Myles until the 20's at the earliest and wouldn't touch Barnett/Watt/McKinley/Lawson/Taco until the 2nd. Shaq would be DE2 in this class.
GunnerBill Posted April 25, 2017 Posted April 25, 2017 Barnett is the 9th best player on my board. I really like him. Think he will be a productive pass rusher in the NFL. His all round game can still improve but I love his pass rush ability. I would not be at all sad if the Bills picked him at #10, though going by Leroi's list he is not one of their targets.
Watkins_deep Posted April 25, 2017 Posted April 25, 2017 This pass rush class is Myles Garrett and a bunch of other dudes. I wouldn't touch another edge guy after Myles until the 20's at the earliest and wouldn't touch Barnett/Watt/McKinley/Lawson/Taco until the 2nd. Shaq would be DE2 in this class. i have no clue what tape you're watching
stuvian Posted April 25, 2017 Posted April 25, 2017 might be a safer pick than Jonathan Allen's surgically repaired shoulders
baskingridgebillsfan Posted April 25, 2017 Posted April 25, 2017 You absolutely can never have enough guys to get to the QB. This is exactly how the Giants were able to beat the Pats twice in the SB. great point. Tommy really doesn't like to get roughed up . You hate Whaley. Whatever we do, you will have a problem with because Whaley had Lawson and Ragland 1-2 on his wish list. End of story. No reasons for you to comment on any draft until Whaley is fired. Anything we do must suck because Whaley told us he had Lawson and Ragland 1-2 on his wish list. We get it. Go sulk in the corner until Whaley is fired yes
26CornerBlitz Posted April 25, 2017 Posted April 25, 2017 Peter King has the Bills taking Barnett at 10.
baskingridgebillsfan Posted April 25, 2017 Posted April 25, 2017 great point. Tommy really doesn't like to get roughed up . . can we let Lawson and Ragland play a full year before we dismiss them. Jeez Peter King has the Bills taking Barnett at 10. how about that. a new entry into wtf will they do. I think they are so many guesses because there will be a very player available at 10.
The BLUES Brothers Posted April 25, 2017 Posted April 25, 2017 Wow - after reading more about him - he could make sense for us. He was pumped up in this link too: https://www.profootballfocus.com/draft-10-prospects-were-higher-on-than-most/ Dallas really wants him so could see us trading down with them but if we keep him as one of Coach's shiny new toys - its good with me.
Kirby Jackson Posted April 25, 2017 Posted April 25, 2017 Barnett to me just lacks the athleticism. He's a high motor guy with big production but I just wonder how it will transfer?
Billsfaninwtn Posted April 25, 2017 Posted April 25, 2017 i have no clue what tape you're watching lol I was thinking the same exact thing. He might have him confused with another player.
jeffismagic Posted April 25, 2017 Posted April 25, 2017 Even if the Bills needed a DE I think marketing would prevent picking two DE's in consecutive years in the first round. Maybe if they had fired Whaley they could pull it off.
Blokestradamus Posted April 25, 2017 Posted April 25, 2017 (edited) i have no clue what tape you're watching lol I was thinking the same exact thing. He might have him confused with another player. As Kirby said, Barnett doesn't have the requisite physical attributes associated with being a top-flight pass rusher. Only guy outside of Garrett that possesses enough athletic traits while having the technical proficiency to be worthy of a 1st round selection is Solomon Thomas.

Coach Tuesday Posted April 25, 2017 Posted April 25, 2017 As Kirby said, Barnett doesn't have the requisite physical attributes associated with being a top-flight pass rusher. Only guy outside of Garnett that possesses enough athletic traits while having the technical proficiency to be worthy of a 1st round selection is Solomon Thomas. Thomas could fall to 10 and make the Bills think hard. I continue to believe that SF has been smokescreening and likes Trubinsky (he's a Cousins clone). If SF passes on Thomas he could fall to us. He's not a position of glaring need but how do you pass up a player like him (or Allen for that matter)? You can't have too many impact defensive linemen IMO.
