JM2009 Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 Joe BuscagliaVerified account @JoeBuscaglia 22m22 minutes ago More The only complaint would be coming out of this draft without a starting WLB, which remains a need. #Bills

When we lose 5-6 starters like we do every year, we're going to have 5-6 gaping holes on the field. I don't think we are going to be very good next year. But based on this draft, I think McD is drafting to compete right now. His CB and WR were very productive and experienced seniors. The OL was also a senior. I would have used this year to rebuild, I don't think that is McD's plan. I'm not a huge fan of our strategy but it'll certainly be interesting to see the product this year.

We werent going to sit." I like the aggressive but not reckless attitude. Whaley is not running this draft. Got three guys who can start now.

Every year I'm critical of the Bills and every year they fail to make the playoffs. This team has never valued its depth. Year after year we ignore our key backups and every year our season goes off the rails due to injuries or suspensions.

JM2009 Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 Jerry Sullivan @ByJerrySullivan 24m24 minutes ago More It's as if McDermott had been hired as the GM. I'm waiting to see what he does on fourth-and-3 from the opponent's 44-yard line.

Also tt took a pay cut. I think it is plausible they might end up tanking, but if they do it will be because the first half of the season became a train wreck even though they were trying to win. If they only have 2 wins after 8 games, I can see them throwing in a backup QB and taking the lumps for the top draft pick. But I think they will be too good to end up in that position, even against great competition. We shall see. Edited April 29, 2017 by PolishDave

They would be drafting BPA instead of biggest needs if they were intentionally tanking. Edited April 29, 2017 by PolishDave

Hurricane Marv Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 Interested to see what the Jets do. Kind of pissed Adams fell to them, and I like the Maye pick too.

A bit different in that they got a first rounder and traded up for two of their picks which would mean they got exactly who they were targeting.

Says the guy who was hoping to get a draft class of 10 contributors? You're assuming we could have hit on literally all of our picks..

If we do stink we better stay that way for the year.
thunderingsquid Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 When did we pick up LorAx? Was he an offseason pickup?Don't forget, if our GM is still around, he's at least good at scrap heap pickups. That coud be where we find our Will LB.

That was Whaley's draft. These guys will be physically and mentally ready to go. Shaq and Reggie will be better now that they are healthy. Washington was a depth/rotation guy.
