NewEra Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 I'd take the KC trade and draft 1- Rueben Foster 2- Zay jones 3- Fabian Moreau 3- Antonio Garcia 5- Anthony Walker 5- Desmond King 5- Nate Peterman 6- Bucky Hodges
Poleshifter Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 I'd honestly take the trade offer on the table from KC and go from there. 27: Tre White, CB, LSU - Love the pick, scheme fit and value. Day 1 starter on the boundary, potential to be an NFL #1 CB. 44: DeShone Kizer, QB, Notre Dame - Taking a punt on the final QB I think has the potential to start in the league. Coachable flaws and a scheme fit. 75: Chris Godwin, WR, Penn State - Boundary WR to start alongside Sammy. High value as a Day 1 starter. 91: Tedric Thompson, FS, Colorado - Another potential starter. Ball hawk with incredible coverage instincts. 149: Jordan Leggett, TE, Clemson - Seam threat option, receiving upgrade at TE2, needs work as a blocker. 156: Anthony Walker Jr, LB, Northwestern - Versatile LB that can initially back up either WLB or SLB. 163: Matt Milano, LB, BC - Keep the pick as is. Same as Walker, can back up early, plus ST player. 171: Sam Tevi, OT, Utah - Athletic fit, former DL turned OT, betting on upside to get a swing tackle at the very least. 195: Shalom Luani, SS, Washington State - Another potential ST stud. Box safety with athletic traits and can thump vs the run. Blokes, don't you feel a more urgent need for help at RT? You leave that position to a late 6th round hopeful. I am very glad they targeted Dawkins and then found a way to get him. Some people feel OK with trading up for Zay Jones, perhaps because they had heard of him in lots of pre-draft chatter. But most fans (myself included) had never heard of Dion Dawkins before - because he was listed as OG - and I only knew of the top 5 OTs.
sjjr Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 The Bills had a great draft because they got 3 immediate starters, a 2018 1st round pick and 3 players that will provide depth/special teams with the upside of potentially starting in the future. I believe Watson is a future star franchise QB so would have done things differently.... Would have taken Watson at 10 and found a way to get Z.Jones early in the 2nd the way the Bills did. Probably wouldn't have ended up with Dawkins but loved that pick by the Bills too. At 75, could have taken Desmond King and he could man the nickel and punt return duties. He doesn't have the upside White does though. Later in the draft, liked Peterman, Milano and Vallejo ok. Maybe would have looked at Jordan Evans (LB-Oklahoma), Anthony Walker (LB-Northwestern), Brooks Ellis (LB-Arkansas), Xavier Woods (S-La Tech), Jordan Morgan (OL-Kutztown), Matt Dayes (RB-NC State) and Keionta Davis (DE-Chattanooga).

I'm the founding chairman of the Jordan Mills hatred club so of course I'd like to find a RT option in this exercise. Love the Dawkins pick but, with not trading up in this exercise, I'm assuming Carolina take him at 64. In the case of both Moton and Garcia lasting to 75, Godwin is still the highest ranked player left. Tough choice but got to go BPA and get better. Outside of those guys, there wasn't much value left at OT. Tevi is my top late round developmental guy and took him in a good value spot. Keionta Davis (DE-Chattanooga). The Bills have scouted him at least once (Astro has all that info somewhere). Davis won't sign with a team now until he gets the all clear from a bulging disk issue but, according to Ian Rapoport, a bunch of teams are still interested. Likely won't get cleared until an appointment with a neck specialist in June. Edited May 2, 2017 by Blokestradamus
