Herb62 Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 I think we worked the draft great, two ones next year gives us a lot of flexibility. Man, what does Clemson do to these guys??? Lawson, Williams, Watkins, Beasley, Bowers, Spiller, etc.... Glad the Bills did not look his way this draft. Hopefully he gets healed and can play. Kid was a hell of a player last year. Old school but, Jerry Butler and Bucky Brooks too.
Buffalo Bills Detective Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 He may need back surgery now? Can you imagine the stuff that would be flying around here if we drafted this kid? http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/20105594/mike-williams-los-angeles-chargers-need-surgery Maybe now they'll go out and sign Dorial Green-Beckham to a 1 year deal <sarcasm>
aristocrat Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 Lawson Sammy Williams etc Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
EasternOHBillsFan Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 Was just about to post this. It would have been holy heel here on TSW if he was the pick and missed the entire season. It would have been Whaley's fault of course. Needless to say he didn't need any more poor draft picks to add to his resume than he already had, which got him fired.
3rdand12 Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 Maybe now they'll go out and sign Dorial Green-Beckham to a 1 year deal <sarcasm> maybe we can trade somthin to them...
Buffalo Bills Detective Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 maybe we can trade somthin to them... Let me guess: Tyrod, Sammy and both 2018 1sts for Philip Rivers?
Kirby Jackson Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 Just stay away from players named Mike WilliamsHa ha, pretty much this. I think, as of today, the Mike Williams from Buffalo was the best of the group. Fat Mike the OL and Fat Mike the WR were early picks along with back injury Mike. Am I forgetting any (at least in the last 15 years)?
TheElectricCompany Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 We passed on two potential franchise QBs with our pick. I don't think we were running to the table with a WRs name on that card under any circumstance.
K D Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 As mentioned, Bills had Ross and Davis higher. Sounds like GM McD knows what's what
YoloinOhio Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 (edited) I must be in the minority, but I really like this player and think he will be a very successful pro. Nothing against any of the other WRs in the draft, including our own Zay who I'm very bullish on as well. But no one did it vs tougher competition than my man Mike. Edited July 20, 2017 by YoloinOhio
3rdand12 Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 Let me guess: Tyrod, Sammy and both 2018 1sts for Philip Rivers? Your work is without compare Poirot We passed on two potential franchise QBs with our pick. I don't think we were running to the table with a WRs name on that card under any circumstance. btw love your avatar. how could you not like the kid? I must be in the minority, but I really like this player and think he will be a very successful pro. Nothing against any of the other WRs in the draft, including our own Zay who I'm very bullish on as well. But no one did it vs tougher competition than my man Mike. Wrs are becoming the darlings of the draft. We all have a favorite or two each year i bet. Zay who is now being Coached by his College Coach i think, might have one hell of an advantage. Regardless that he was drafted in the second. Glad to read you are bullish on him. We all should be.
Kirby Jackson Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 We passed on two potential franchise QBs with our pick. I don't think we were running to the table with a WRs name on that card under any circumstance. Corey Davis was the target. He was off the board though by our pick. Things might have been different had he still been there.As mentioned, Bills had Ross and Davis higher. Sounds like GM McD knows what's whatI'm fairly certain that the scouts and Whaley assembled the board. McDermott ultimately decided how we were going to use those assets but he's not the one that had Davis and Ross ahead of Williams.

Got a link to that? Doesn't line up with the story that both KC and Mcdermott told, which is that the deal was discussed a week earlier. If you have a player circled, no way you make that deal ahead of time, unless you really thought he'd fall to the late 1st. Considering 3 WRs went in the top 9, it appears that teams , and not the NFL mock draft talking heads, were much higher on these players than anticipated.

No link, just info that LeRoi provided here and was confirmed elsewhere (from a couple of people). Teams always have plans A through Z. Corey Davis was the guy that they would have picked if available and they stayed at 10. Would they have done that with the trade down on the table? Maybe not, but he was their top target.
H2o Posted July 20, 2017 Author Posted July 20, 2017 Maybe now they'll go out and sign Dorial Green-Beckham to a 1 year deal <sarcasm> Let it go bruh, that thread was over a month ago
Formerly Allan in MD Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 It's too bad the last time we drafted a Mike Williams at number one he was still on the board.
BobChalmers Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 .....for some reason, the name "Mike Williams" and the "Buffalo Bills" has always been the "union of hell".....go figure...... In fact, had the Bills drafted him AND he was injured and the injury ended his career before he even played a game... He still wouldn't be the worst Bills draft bust named "Mike Williams."

That is what the Chiefs GM said first interview after the trade. Edited July 20, 2017 by cba fan
