Big Turk Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 It's clearly a "safe" pick...........very uninspiring. I'm trying hard to really like this pick, but it just seems too "Bills". You liking the pick or me liking the pick or anyone else liking the pick means nothing. Only his performance on the field means something.
NoSaint Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 Most people probably paid no attention to the players around the bottom of the 1st round, so most don't know much about him. I don't know about that. Most were looking at second tier CBs knowing the size of the hole there. I think most of us agree he's a good player... just a matter of team building philosophy debated here
BuffaloBaumer Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 February 2020, the New England Patriots sign Buffalo Bills cornerback Tre'davious White in free agency to a 5 year 20M a year contract. Exactly, wake me when we get our qb someday
wecknwings Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 I would have been happier with an OT like Ramczyk, to play RT, but can't deny Bills need a CB. White is a tackler like Gilmore wasn't, credited with only five missed tackles, rep as a team leader, low completion percentage, etc. Overall I think a good tradedown and still picking up a starter and contributor. McDermott said he was not into flash, and this is not a flashy pick, but solid.
Numark3 Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 Chance at real offensive talent, draft a tier two-three CB. Billsy You have essentially become a parody account. Nice
zow2 Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 Speculation is that the Bills were targeting Lattimore before the Chiefs trade. So they still got a solid CB at 27 and got the extra picks. Nice value since we all know they needed a DB
Prop Joe Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 Beeeeeeeeews Cornerbacks Gonna be easy to break the Saints record for suck.
BuffaloBud420 Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 Please tell - which CB will be better at picj 44? Quincy Wilson, Kevin King, Okhello Witherspoon
Success Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 To the critics - what do you base it on? Kiper's "big board"?
MPT Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 It's a good pick but I thought in McD's scheme corners aren't important. I thought he was a zone guy Might have re-evaluated that position when his defense **** the bed after Norman left.
Turk71 Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 Maybe they actually are using analytics now. 11:17 p.m. ET, April 27 Buffalo Bills Round 1, pick No. 27: TreDavious White, CB, LSU Bills steal PFFs No. 2 CB late in Round 1 after trade down The Bills took a calculated risk earlier in the evening by moving down 17 spots with the Chiefs, and by our standards, that gamble paid off handsomely. White earned the highest overall and coverage grades in the draft class, as he gave up a completion percentage of just 42.6 into his primary coverage and defended a total of 14 passes. With the Bills losing Stephon Gilmore to the Patriots in free agency, cornerback was a huge need, and they locked up our second-highest rated prospect at the position. Josh Liskiewitz, @PFF_Josh Good to know. Had no idea he was so highly rated.
NoSaint Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 Definitely true. Which is why an obvious talent has slid this far. If it's a second, I am taking that risk though. Several put him in the 30s this week I'd do that all day but...
BillsfaninChicago Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 I love the pick CB was a huge need with Gilmore gone. With this pick we not only got a 3rd this year but a 1st next year as well beats the hell out of when we took Maybin back in 2009
26CornerBlitz Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 @WGR550 #Bills head coach Sean McDermott is at the podium right now after the selection of Tre’Davious White in the first round of the NFL Draft! McDermott - White is going to come in and compete right away #Bills
Woodman19 Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 Sunk cost folks. You have to separate the Gilmore factor from this decision.
Jerry Jabber Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 Fine, enjoy the 5 years. Do you want to pay him $20 mil/year? Get cheap and young DB's. I'd rather have a player that's going to be on the team long term, especially when a first round pick is used. Good first round DB's cost too much to resign after their rookie deals (see Winfield, Clements, Gilmore).
Saxum Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 February 2020, the New England Patriots sign Buffalo Bills cornerback Tre'davious White in free agency to a 5 year 20M a year contract. We need the Ghostbusters.
BuffaloBillsGospel Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 Not going to lie, I hate this pick. Not because we recycled for Gilmore (that happens all the time) but because I think we could have landed him in round 2 and we could have taken the best OL in Lamp or Robinson, I don't think White was a 1st round talent but I don't do this for a living, not bummed about it since we needed a CB but this is a deep draft for corner.
davefan66 Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 Love the trade to get a 1st and a 3rd, and like this White kid!
Big Gun Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 Yep I called it too. Valevictorian with GPA of 4.6. tpugs wasn't kidding about character. Now, is lattimore going to be better than white, the 3rd Rd pick and the 1st next year? Doubtful. True, but Foster is a monster and he was there for the taking. Hard to pass up Foster at 27.
