I’m sure we will end up with some Alabama players this year. Daboll knows them well and that team is full of talent. 

He also likely watched a great deal of tape on the defenses that they played against which means he may also be able to provide good intel on some of the top defenders in this draft.

21. BUFFALO BILLS (9-7)
LB Roquan Smith, Georgia

17OS3-Mock-Draft-2-Pick-21-768x432.jpg

The first linebacker off the board, Smith flies to the football against both the run and in coverage. He also has a knack for finishing plays as he’s been one of the surest tacklers in the country over the last two-plus years (only 16 missed tackles on 251 career attempts). He’s a perfect fit for Buffalo’s zone-heavy defensive scheme.

22. BUFFALO BILLS – FROM KANSAS CITY (10-6)

Edge Marcus Davenport, UTSA

The Bills go defense once again, adding Davenport, who projects as a classic base defensive end in a 4-3 scheme. He uses his massive 6-foot-7 frame well and he finished fourth overall among edge defenders with an 89.8 grade. He can move blockers in the run game and he picked up nine sacks, six QB hits and 34 hurries on only 257 rushes last season.

 

 

For me this would be a dream first round draft.

What does everyone think of Tremaine Edmunds LB Virginia Tech.  He has seemed to jump up boards and some have him being taken before Smith.  He's 6'5" and athletic.  Looks like he could nail the combine.  Is he really as good or better than Smith?   Could he be the answer to covering tight ends like gronk?

He could fit what McD wants to do at OLB, but I don't see him as our MLB 'QB of the D' guy. If McD thinks he can get his MLB later then maybe he grabs Tremaine early to infuse athleticism into the position group. Tremaine needs to fill out his frame a bit at the next level, but I don't see that being an issue.

I would like to have some size at the LB spot.  Smith is great but he is another undersized linebacker and we already have one of those.  Edmunds could help cover tight ends.

Yeah, he was pretty good in coverage situations on RBs and TEs. Just not sure he's what McD is looking for in a 1st round investment for his scheme. Also a decent chance he's gone by 21 anyway. He's going to crush the combine and someone will fall in love.

Does he not fit McDs scheme?  Just wondering your opinion

Could Derwin James be looked at as a linebacker in McDs scheme?

His role would probably be to replace Alexander and let Alexander play DE. Not a bad thing I suppose, I just think he's more focused on finding his Kuechley.

So PFF has Josh Allen falling out of the first round? Does anyone think that will actually happen? At one point he was being talked about as the #3 QB prospect.

PFF grades him as like the actual worst QB in the entire draft. I'm not sure they'd have him in their mock even if it were a 7 round mock.

REALLY? That is so strange, seeing as others have him as a top 10 pick. Did he sleep with one of their sisters or something?

PFF dosnt look at potential like everyone else, they go solely off of their grades

What constitutes being a Kuechly in your mind?  Are you saying Edmunds doesn't have the leadership skills/playcalling role on the defense...what exactly do you think Edmunds is lacking?

No, his advanced stats are just not good at all. His accuracy is below par to begin with, but add to that the fact that he plays in a pro style system (rather than the open spreads most of the other guys are in) with a truly wretched supporting cast that probably don't deserve to be playing Division 1 football and you have all the ingredients you need for some ugly numbers.

To me it will depend on the process, no pun intended.  He could go in the 1st depending on practice, interviews this week and at the combine.  But to me, scouts always have this tendency to forget that the TAPE does not lie and overdraft guys.  We'll see how it goes for him.
