CEN-CAL17 Posted January 27, 2018 Posted January 27, 2018 Players I’m looking at... With a first round pick trade, gain an early 2nd and comp 3rd. 1.Harrison Phillips DT 2.Hayden Hurst TE Chad Thomas DE Nick DeLuca ILB 3. Marquise Haynes OLB/DE Rankin or Crosby OT Frank Ragnow G/C 4. Matt White QB Dont see us grabbing a QB in round 1. Unless someone slides who they feel is a top 10.... Allen, Baker? I think it will be a FA QB.
Formerly Allan in MD Posted January 27, 2018 Posted January 27, 2018 In early Senior Bowl going, QB Mike White, LB Davenport, and RB Ballage are really looking good. Mayfield is a cool leader out there.
26CornerBlitz Posted January 28, 2018 Author Posted January 28, 2018 Pick No. 21: DT Vita Vea, Washington Pick No. 22: LB Rashaan Evans, Alabama Pick No. 53: C Billy Price, Ohio State Pick No. 56 (LAR) RB Sony Michel, Georgia Pick No. 95 (PHI) WR Anthony Miller, Memphis Pick No. 123: EDGE Duke Ejiofor, Wake Forest Pick No. 160: CB Deatrick Nichols, South Florida Pick No. 168 (JAX): QB Riley Ferguson, Memphis 1
26CornerBlitz Posted January 29, 2018 Author Posted January 29, 2018 21. Buffalo Bills: Harrison Phillips, DT, Stanford With the quarterbacks all gone, the Bills may look to rebuild their defense in the first round of this year’s draft. Phillips is the type of run-stopping defensive tackle the Bills lack. 22. Buffalo Bills (via Kansas City Chiefs): Derwin James, S, Florida State It’s hard to peg a good spot for James high in the first round if a team like the Raiders pass on him. In Buffalo he would play more of a linebacker role that utilizes his athleticism and blitzing. 1
26CornerBlitz Posted January 30, 2018 Author Posted January 30, 2018 Trapasso's latest mock draft: https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/2018-nfl-mock-draft-raiders-go-defense-ravens-add-much-needed-wr-speed/ 21. Buffalo BillsMason Rudolph, QB, Oklahoma State. This pick makes too much sense to tweak right now. The Bills like experienced prospects -- as evidenced by their 2017 draft haul -- and Rudolph gives Buffalo pocket-passing ability with a familiarity in modern spread offenses that feature plenty of run-pass option. Brian Daboll is happy with this pick. 22. Buffalo Bills from ChiefsOgbonnia Okoronkwo, OLB, Oklahoma. Okoronkwo isn't your father's 4-3 defensive end at 6-1 and 240 pounds, and that's ok. He's an explosive speed-rusher who demonstrates the ability to dip around the edge and bend to the quarterback. The Oklahoma star has a large arsenal of pass-rushing moves too. He can man the SAM spot in Buffalo's front. 1
SoFFacet Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 Hate pundits suddenly mocking so many interior OL to the Bills on account of the Wood situation. As if rational FOs are really that reactionary and wouldn't have other contingencies to explore. So lazy. Worst part is that I bet they think to themselves that it makes them look insightful and informed. 1
26CornerBlitz Posted February 1, 2018 Author Posted February 1, 2018 21. Buffalo Bills | Mason Rudolph | QB | Oklahoma State Tyrod Taylor doesn’t look like the long-term answer for the Bills at quarterback, and the early returns aren’t promising on Nate Peterman. A bit of a reach this early, Rudolph is big, athletic and talented, but needs more polish and consistency. 22. Buffalo Bills (from KC) | Harrison Phillips | DL | Stanford After landing their franchise quarterback a few picks earlier, the Bills turn their attention to the defensive line, where replacing the departed Marcell Dareus and the aging Kyle Williams is a priority. Phillips is a complete player who was one of the most productive interior defenders in all of college football last year. 53. Buffalo Bills | Jerome Baker | LB | Ohio State 55. Buffalo Bills (from LAR) | Carlton Davis | CB | Auburn 95. Buffalo Bills (from PHI) | Dante Pettis | WR | Washington 117. Buffalo Bills | Mark Walton, Jr. | RB | Miami (FL)

Worst part is that I bet they think to themselves that it makes them look insightful and informed. Obviously they can find a replacement elsewhere but there aren't a plethora of options out there in FA and on our team. The center position on an offensive line is probably the second most important position on the line. The center holds a lot of responsibilities. Drafting a center high is certainly something they could do. I'd rather have a young first round talented center who can grow with a new QB. If you have a solid young center, it helps the guards with their assignments and makes the entire line better. I don't want just a decent replacement thrown in there. Additionally, it's no secret that Incognito is up there in age and that right guard isn't locked down. It was always a need but maybe not the most pressing one. Now, it certainly is one of our biggest needs. Why should we settle with fill in offensive lineman when we are a run first team? That doesn't make sense to me. Build a great offensive line. We could use 2 offensive lineman in the draft and depending on what happens with Glenn, maybe a third in free agency. Let's not be stupid and avoid those positions this draft. It would be quite the shame to waste Mccoy's talents behind a poor line.

OTOH, Groy did play well when he filled in for Wood in 2016 and Miller may rebound if they change to a blocking scheme more suited to his abilities. I surmise some of the draft capital is needed to move up for that new Qb unless Cousins is coming here. (We could probably stick at #21 and take Rudolph. I think he'll be there, but I don't like him.) Edited February 1, 2018 by Dr. Who

You're just setting the young guy up to get hurt or play through a ton of pressure. Why do that? With Groy and Miller that's a lot of ifs. I think they may do well too but I'm not handing them the positions without some legitimate competition. We need some more youth in the line.
