Some people might think they know, but they don’t. And at any rate, I would argue that a really good WR is far more valuable than a great DT, especially on this team. The Bills need offensive playmakers and a couple offensive linemen. Those are the guys they need to be looking at in the first three rounds. Expand You’re nuts Matt Millen.

There may be some bonding potential.
OldTimer1960 Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 NFL Network is showing that the Bills have pick 10 with Denver at 9.

That is idiotic and how you end up like the raiders If nobody knows who the best players available are why do the first few rounds have a better success rate than last few? Expand That's way too extrem of an example. In real life and not including qbs, it's more like the 5th rated player vs the 14th rated player. That's why trade downs happen. And trade downs are what the bills should be focusing on anyway. They need a many picks as possible. 2

The strength of schedule became a tie after last night's game. Buffalo gets the tie breaker with opponets win loss record.

Thank you for arguing the same point I am.

Expand I don’t think trade downs should always happen; sometimes it’s best to go for the lower-rated but still very good player if you feel like you’re that one position away from having an elite team (not the norm, to be sure). It’s just that the Bills have so many needs on offense, and the more picks you have, the better the chances that more will pan out. https://www.nber.org/papers/w11270

MrEpsYtown Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 Josh Allen round one, Zach Allen round 2? Allen becomes he new Williams?

Chuck Wagon Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 With Haskins surely gone by the time we pick, it already seems like a real key is if someone like the Jags or the Dolphins / Broncos (in a trade up) talk themselves into Lock or Jones in the top 8. #9 feels too rich to take WR given the talent distribution in this class. Outside of maybe Jonah Williams (or Little / Taylor) coming in as a Day 1 starter at LT/RT, it feels like we just need to use the pick on the BPA defensive lineman and rebuild the O with the rest of the draft. 1

Yav Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 N’Keal Harry WR - ASU 6’4” 210 pounds He would be a perfect pic. 2
peterpan Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 We need a wr with size. A big catch radius guy would mesh well with Allens style. Think about it. Allen has accuracy issues. The best part of his game is buying time and heaving it down field. We need a guy who can jump up and catch contested balls, WHILE COVERED. A guy like Mike Evans. I wonder if he is available to trade?
