RD 1, Pick 27: Tre'Davious White (CB) - LSU

[MAJBobby]

Yeah I mean he probably wasnt helped by you know the best safety to enter the draft this year that just so happened to you know have extreme make up speed to um you know bail white out um you know. I can tell you

Watched zero LSU football.

Or i did and actually know what i saw. But hey its alright he is the ONLY CB to get beat deep on occasion

[hondo in seattle]

We got the #2 (according to PFF coverage grades) corner in the draft - a big need for us.

 

And we got an extra 1st round pick and 3rd round pick.

 

I call it a good day.

 

Here's PFF's summary:

 

• White’s coverage grade of 89.8 was the second-highest coverage grade for all draft eligible CBs.
• White allowed a completion percentage of 41.7 percent on throws into his coverage in 2016.
• He missed just five tackles in 2016, ranking in the top 21 percent of all cornerbacks with at least 500 defensive snaps.
• With the loss of Stephon Gilmore in free agency, White is an important addition that is versatile enough to play both the slot and on the outside.

I dont think hes doing anything in the room now:

There were several instances of Bills coach Sean McDermott using the word "I" instead of "we" when describing Buffalo's decisions in the draft Thursday night. McDermott at one point corrected himself by saying "we," but it served as another sign that GM Doug Whaley's role is diminished. Whaley has not spoken to reporters since the Senior Bowl in January.

It's a very strange situation that likely deserves its own thread

Quick question did you see him get eat up in the senior bowl practices 1 on 1 guess who wasnt bailing him out???? Edited April 28, 2017 by Bill_with_it

Come on, what a crock of crap. Then say that about EVERY prospect on this draft. You think every one of the players didn't play with other talented people on the roster around them? To act like White had success because Adams bailed him out is absurd. The kid can ball.

The few missed tackle stat alone makes this a great pick. Our secondary tackling has been atrocious.

Look I want saying he is incapable of playing cb, I wasinfering that maybe he isnt as good as his stats state because well he had the best safety in college football covering his back. Kind if like our dline a few years ago awesome when playing together but you put another player next to them and well not so much. Edited April 28, 2017 by Bill_with_it

[Big Blitz]

We were going to take Lattimore at 10---which we would have loved...most of us myself included.

 

But we may have got the better of the two in White. Conley wasn't happening. And btw I'd draft another corner in round 2. King?

 

 

In addition we get a 3rd tomorrow and an extra first next year (the Chiefs are not making the playoffs---That pick will be 15-17 at worst.)

 

 

I think I'm good.

I mean he will have larger impact then last years number one =P

 

Marketable improvement IMO.

Bills did sign a pretty good safety in FA, did they not?

[Jerry Jabber]

Not only that, but we're the kings of taking DBs and RBs in the first. How's that gameplan working out?

 

My point exactly! A first round pick should be used on a player that a team can build around and that has the potential to be on your team for 10+ years, vice four or five. Constantly recycling first round draft picks every four to five years has gotten the Bills nowhere except draft in the same spots (on average between 8-13).

[Jamie Muellers Ghost]

Pretty simple, this coach is not drafting you unless your a boy scout.

 

I don't dislike White but I cannot understand passing on Foster. LB a huge hole on this team and one of the hardest positions to fill in FA. It could have been one amazing night lucking into Foster. Instead we got a pick at 27 that should be around 27 - so I guess that 3rd round pick better be real good. We're going to watch Foster for a very long time with nothing but regret. I now feel like McDermott is in over his head a little bit on the personnel side. He's a good coach and I'm happy to have him but he needs to learn to be a head coach first - instead of taking on everything.

 

He'll learn a valuable lesson tonight when he sees he got in his own way.

[Clyde Smith]

It's funny that people was saying the same thing about Darby a couple years ago. "He sucks" "I don't know who he is" "bad pick". Let the man play, we got a team leader and he plays special teams also. I'm happy with the pick.

[MAJBobby]

Yeah cause thats all that ever matters. Senior Bowl Practices.

Yeah your right he wont play against nfl talent in the nfl what was i thinking?

McDermott needs to learn that there is no 'I' in team.

[yungmack]

Such a reach. Could of got a better corner in 2nd or 3rd even

Stats say he was the toughest CB to complete a pass against in college. Intelligent, not mouthy or flashy, no character questions, and possibly the best CB the Bills have had in years. Some "reach."

[MAJBobby]

Yeah your right he wont play against nfl talent in the nfl what was i thinking?

Yeah thats right Senior Bowl Practices trump his game tape. All the time. Would have been a 1st last year as a Junior as well. But hang everyone on Senior Bowl Practices

Next year, with an extra #1, this will feel a lot better.

Yes it will.

[MAJBobby]

Also not to mention was awarded the No 18 number. Talks alot about him as a player
