T master Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 With the season almost past it's half way point & some teams with the huge possibility of not being in the play off race or at least the odds stacked against them to make it there, there has been some talk about the draft for the 2019 season . If you were the guy to make the call when the Bills number was up who or what position would be of the utmost importance to you & the future of the team ? Would it be O line ? WR ? TE ? LB ? DB ? or another position that you believe is lacking that could put the Bills over the top for years to come ? Personally i believe it all starts in the trenches both on Defense & Offense & i would go with building the offensive line taking the best available linemen which looks like it could be (for me) the kid from Bama, Williams as my first over all pick I know it's not real sexy but given Dawkins, Teller, & Bodine being Okay we need a good RT & he fits the Billz !! If this is something that has already been posted my apology ! 1
Alphadawg7 Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 Impossible to answer this now. What draft slot we get will heavily influence this answer and so will FA. But if forced to answer now... BPA in first or trade down. It’s a defensive heavy top 10, so depends where we finish year on our draft slot. I wouldn’t pass on an elite defensive prospect say in top 5 and reach for an offensive guy just because we need offense more. I would take the best player and make our D elite or I would trade down for more assets and load up on offense. My preference is to trade down. I would take 2 OL and 2 WRs in draft...again depends a LOT also on what we do in FA. We also need to look at CB, TE, and maybe RB in draft too...again depending on what we need do in FA. 3 1
Soda Popinski Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 First pick would be a CB in the top 10. Should be one worth taking that high up and should get us a blue chip corner to pair with Tre and complete a very good secondary. My next pick would be BPA but would slant to either OL/WR. Then OL/WR again. In the 4th round I would probably use some of my later picks and move up for either a LB or TE. Still looking for starters at that point. 1
PromoTheRobot Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 Assuming we are drafting top 10 or better, I would trade down to get more picks. Maybe twice. 6
HOUSE Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 Aren't we suppose to draft a QB in every round? 1
Bing Bong Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 Trade down from top 10 if there are no WRs we're in love with. Go HAM on offense afterwards 1
Malazan Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 I'd get drunk and draft all o lineman then get into a 90mph car chase with the police. 1 1
Formerly Allan in MD Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 Beyond anything else, OL OL OL. 1
SoCal Deek Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 You stick to the plan. You draft the best player still left on the board at a position of true need....every time! 2
US Egg Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 McBeane is still driving on their learners permit.

Even with Taron Johnson in the fold and McBeane's ability to evaluate DB's and draft them in later rounds? I'm not taking a DB in the first round unless it's the next Jalen Ramsey (without the douchiness). BPA or trade back. Definitely making OL and WR a priority. 2

I'm not taking a DB in the first round unless it's the next Jalen Ramsey (without the douchiness). BPA or trade back. Definitely making OL and WR a priority. I'm just saying what I would do, if given the keys. I want a pair of lockdown corner to go with our good safeties. Johnson is good at nickel and we should leave him there. If we draft a CB top 10, and then in 2020 we extend Tre it will be 8-9 years before we need corners on the outside again. That sounds nice to me, especially entering Josh Allen's prime where we will need WRs and OL and we'll have to pay them.
Boca BIlls Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 I would chose project QBs and skip good ones, I would draft lots of defense and forget about the offense 1 1

Hypothetically if the best player at 6 is a safety do you still take him?
ghostwriter Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 Jonah Williams and Marquise Brown. Draft the best CB left in the 3rd round. Draft OL and TE in the mid rounds.

End The Drought Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 After watching the game last night I would draft a few speedy wide receivers, a tight end and a running back. Then some OL depth and maybes a couple DBs with the later picks
