The post you are quoting was not about Haskins - it was about the Duke kid.

Lol thought it was Haskins. I have not watched Duke either. What do you think of Clayton Thorson at Northwestern

I haven't watched him in 2018. I did look at a couple of his 2017 games when there were rumours he might declare last year. I wasn't particularly impressed. Shades of Nate Peterman.

This is EXACTLY where I’m at. Paradis and Saffold in FA and another guy that can play OT in the draft.

If you add Bama's Jona Williams to the mix and then do what you suggest in adding to two  free agents to the unit you not only are building a good line but also depth. Look what happened with Jacksonville and their mounting injuries on the line? Their depleted line was being overwhelmed with the combo of Hughes/Williams. 

 

I don't see Miller returning next year. He seems to be in the McDermott doghouse. After a penalty that cost us a first down he was taken out and replaced by Groy. He didn't return after that. 

 

With a season under his belt Josh Allen should be able to more quickly make his reads and be more decisive in releasing the ball. That in itself should elevate the play of the line. An example of the opposite notion is Bortles's atrocious play. When your qb can't throw the ball down field it creates a tremendous amount of pressure for the OL playing in a one-dimensional offense.

His arm is significantly stronger than Peterman's though, which is one of, if not the biggest issue Peterman has.

 

Having said that, as much as I wanted to like Thorson, I don't really see it either. He has some tools and has some mobility, but he seems like a pretty blah prospect to me. He's supposedly pretty renowned for his leadership/personality though; I remember the stuff I was reading a year or two ago about him made him sound like someone that I could see McDermott being interested in.

 

Don't think that's an issue at this point with Allen in the fold though.

I didn't like almost anything about Peterman's game.

His tape is pretty good and David Cutcliffe speaks highly of him both publicly and privately to FOs. He's rising because of the latter. I like him, especially compared to the 2019 crop in general. He's come a long way in his time at Duke.

I haven't seen a single play. I think the poor class always left the possibility of late risers.

New mock from Benjamin Solak, one of my favorite draft writers:

https://thedraftnetwork.com/2018/11/26/solak-mock-draft-3-0/

 

Bills picks:

9. Buffalo Bills

D.K. Metcalf, WR, Ole Miss

Last time I did a mock draft on this here site, I got shredded by #BillsMafia for mocking them a potentially elite DT in Ed Oliver. Well, my dear Buffalonians, Oliver is still on the board — but I’m a good listener.

As the news broke earlier this week that D.K. Metcalf would indeed declare for the 2019 NFL Draft, I wondered how high his ceiling was. This is probably it: working his way into Top-10 consideration with a clean bill of health and stellar Combine testing. Metcalf’s density-adjusted athleticism will top the charts, and his tape beats that of teammate A.J. Brown when put under the microscope. Buffalo needs WR help and shouldn’t shy away from any fit/style of play — so Metcalf unseats Kelvin Benjamin, thank the good Lord in heaven.

 

40. Buffalo Bills: Dalton Risner, OT, Kansas State

 

Other notable stuff:

• Two tight ends from the same college (Iowa) going in the top 8.
• 10 WRs going in the first two rounds
• Dwayne Haskins (#5 to the Giants) is the only QB in the first two rounds (this assumes Herbert returns to school).

1.) LeVeon Bell, RB to 3yrs 54m.

2.) John Brown, WR 4yr 32m

3.) Matt Barkley, QB 2yr 4m

5.) EJ Gaines, CB2 2yrs 8m

Drafttek way off as usual.....not knocking anybody, just their rankings.

I got what I wanted in the 1st 4 rounds. Banogu is worth a shot at the bottom of the 4th.

[Guest K-GunJimKelly12]

I think the Bills are going to win a few and not pick in the top 10.  If that is the case count me in for trying to trade back and targeting Anthony Johnson in the early to mid 20's.  I am no expert but I know a star when I see one.  Anthony Johnson has good speed, very good hands, run routes well and is a beast after the catch.  He is going to take short passes in the NFL and run over undersized defenses like Moulds and Boldin used to do. 

 

Also very important that he plays for UB and would be more likely to re-sign here at the going rate than most.  Mack wanted us to draft him but we were too stupid to see the advantage of drafting a player with star potential that went to college here and wanted to play here.  Markets like Buffalo have to take advantage of that. 

 

Be late to the party if you want but Johnson is going to be a star.  I'm sure many of you are ready to pounce but go back and look at who was beating the drum for Baker Mayfield in his college thread.  I don't care about those who say he isn't a top 10 WR in the draft, I know a star when I see one and Anthony Johnson is going to shine.

Looks great but I have a feeling Brown will be gone in the top half of the 2nd round.    Or are those your top 4 with a tie for fourth? 

By the way, do we really have two 4th rounders?  Tankathon.com has us with just 2 5ths and two 7ths.  

 

My non-Fanspeak mock:

 

1st:  Little OT

2nd: Tillery DT

3rd:  Samuel WR

4th:  Scharping OT/G

5th:  Arnette CB

5th:  Banogu OLB
