Moreso than if we passed on someone like Lamar Jackson and he ends up getting taken by the Patriots and McDaniels develops him like he tried with Tebow. Yet I don't see the latter happening at all.

Gavin in Va Beach Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 My guess is Denver. They don't seem to want the stress of drafting a QB high right now, with their recent troubles, and would be happy to stockpile picks and take a QB later. That's why King has been hyping us trading with them and giving them more lower round picks than just a couple of high rounders.
xxxxxxxx Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 Team need and positional depth are the real blind spots here, so its difficult, if not impossible, to put alot of stock into what is being said. The draft is deep at some positions, shallow at others. If you need interior lineman, rbs, and help in the secondary, why not trade down. Lots of round 2 players and round 3 players regularly exceed expectations, and plenty of 1st rounders bust, irregardless of where they are slotted.

One team has 15 players as 1st rounders / I've heard 18, it doesn't take much for a "1st round grade" to be there at 22. If they move up like in your scenario, I sure as hell hope it doesn't take all that to do it. I would much rather em stay put at 12 and keep those picks.
2003Contenders Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 King's source is more or less echoing what Gil Brandt said a few weeks ago. Basically, he sees very little separating the 15th or 16th rated prospect from, say, the 50th. Lots of "value" to be found in the 2nd and 3rd rounds, and this is a year where beauty really is in the eye of the beholder.

Last year was a much deeper first round in my opinion. I had 27 firsts last year I think. Tre was one of them. I don't love this class. Beyond QB, LB, RB and interior defensive line I am not sure there is a huge amount to excite. The good news for Buffalo is other than Wide Receiver (where I only have 3 graded in the 1st or 2nd) those positions do match our needs quite well. 4 minutes ago, 2003Contenders said: King's source is more or less echoing what Gil Brandt said a few weeks ago.

At a lot of positions I think guys are scheme specific fits.

There are some positions though (like edge) that are just atrocious.

I think interior OL through the first couple of rounds is good that is true. Not quite as sure on the depth whereas those other positions I think you can get contributors through rounds 5 and 6. I think EDGE, WR and DB are really poor classes and while I have three 1st round OTs the depth there sucks. 1
