TucsonBillsFan Posted December 27, 2018 Posted December 27, 2018 Don't get me wrong I like him as a clear RD2 wr and that's what he was projected to go in the second round so why is every mock draft I see the bills picking DK I mean clearly there is a lot more better options in my opinion. He is the fifth best wide receiver in this year's draft But in every latest mock draft the past few weeks the bills are all over him the experts think anyway let me know your thoughts I personally think the Bills should trade down to like pick 13 pick up a extra second and possibly a 5th and draft ol first..little should fall at 13th and with the 2 second round get a wr and a cb. Let me know your thoughts guys 1

26CornerBlitz Posted December 27, 2018 Posted December 27, 2018 Big time need next year and the Bills seem to like "toolsy" HWS players as evidenced by the 2018 1st round selections of Allen and Edmunds (The shoe in boys ) that they were willing to trade up for. D.K. Metcalf fits the profile. 2
buffalover4life Posted December 27, 2018 Posted December 27, 2018 I think if you look at who we have drafted high it would tell you that our front office likes to swing for the fences with high upside guys that have potential to be top 3 at their position. If they have the athletic tools they believe they can coach'em up. D.K. Metcalf appears to have the tools.

You have him at 5th best but most other outlets have him as the 1st one off the board. It will depend on how he heals and tests but it’s not crazy. 3

I'd love them to and I think are coach and gm does as well..but I think they go offense because they don't want the media make them the laughingstock one more time. Plus jobs on the line

Saban couldnt get the guy to play to potential but our coaches seem to be doing it. 5 minutes ago, John from Riverside said: I think because he is a guy you could possibly target in the 2nd round......while taking a guy like Jonah in the 1st.

Bufflow4 Posted December 27, 2018 Posted December 27, 2018 I really like N’Keal Harry out of Arizona State. He is a junior coming out and just turned 21. He has been their main weapon all three years. DK has had Brown and Lodge drawing coverage away from him while Harry has been double teamed his whole college career. He just looks like a man among boys. He is one of those receivers who is open even when he’s not. He also has great run after catch abilities to go along with really good hands. He really seems to love the game and is a high quality guy off the field. I haven’t really heard any people talking about him in regards to the Bills but he would be at the top of my board at the receiver position. 3 1

Still showed an upgrade on the DL would be welcome. It’s not an elite unit and KW is getting old. Some elite talent in this draft on the DL so if the slot is right you take it. 13 minutes ago, dneveu said: Considering FA is a full 2 months before the draft too...

A rookie defensive linemen will do nothing for this team until our linebacking core is capable of holding their own. Looking from the perspective of the last game if we had any wrs to catch the ball at all we are still in the game. A rookie defensive linemen even if it was Aaron Donald wouldnt have stopped the patriots from the running the ball down our throats because he isnt filling the three gaps the linebackers are supposed to. So while i agree we need a replacement for kyle in the last game a wr that can catch would have had a bigger impact. Edited December 27, 2018 by Bill_with_it
