But you don’t know how the round plays out if the Bills don’t make that trade. Maybe the Chargers pick Edmunds at 19 and Derwin James slides to 22. 1 minute ago, YoloinOhio said: Especially since the Chargers literally said they were taking him at 17 if he was still there. They struck gold anyway with James but unless they are lying (why would they after the draft?) he certainly would not have been there at 22. OK, then maybe James slides to us at 22. That wouldn’t have sucked.

Edmunds has improved a ton every game, Phillips has been solid, and Johnson has played fast and physical. We just need the most important piece to work out and this could be one of the best drafts in franchise history. As good as they are, I felt like offense was severely neglected. When you take a QB #7, you better be damn sure he has weapons around him. Felt like we should have offered Cincinnati someone other than Cordy Glenn. Could of had Mark Andrews and Billy Price too.

Edmunds wasn’t even expected to be there at 16. I’m just saying I don’t like the trade up. Who knows who would have been there at 22? And no, I would never have a problem with taking a player like Derwin James. That guy is a beast.

Derwin James plays the same position as Micah Hyde, who is a 27 year old 2nd team allpro signed through 2021. Who is our MLB if that happens?

Shades of Dick Jauron's penchant for finding "steals" while diving in the NFL's dumpsters a dozen years ago ... with perhaps worse results.
Sky Diver Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 I see Levi Wallace on the roster sometime in the near future.

Unless there is an injury I think he redshirts this year on ps he needs to get a lot bigger and stronger to be an active nfl cb... the talent is there, he just can’t play as physical as a Tre White or Taron Johnson. He also needs to work on his press i can see him being our dime corner next year

The technique he uses and his ball skills. His competitiveness is great and he just looks like an NFL corner His coach has reaffirmed what I thought and he has coached a bunch of good corners. Says he would take him over his own Sean Smith compares him to our own Buffalo legend in Antoine Winfield ? we can only hope and pray ( I posted this in May and it got archived and Hapless said I can just restart the thread with the article... the kid is playing really good ball right now and is really physical for his size... he’s gonna be a good one) I grew up in a house. What was your childhood like, growing up in a defensive backfield? 2

starrymessenger Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 Looks like Aaron tried to trip him as TJ was walking away after the play. The great one showing a little pique. Can't blame him, that blitz was beautifully disguised.
