I wouldn't love taking a corner there. 

 

I know the hesitancy but Byron Murphy is elite elite. I don’t know how opposing QB’s could throw on us if we have Tre, Byron, Levi and Taron.

If the BPA is a QB the phone will be ringing off the hook with trade offers.

with possibly 4 teams drafting ahead of us that could potentially be in the market for a QB, i wouldn't  put much faith in the BPA at 10 being anything close to a QB.

Hopefully the Giants and Jaguars reach on quarterbacks, dropping some talent down.

 

Bucs too

I agree 100 percent with you on that one.

Get a Center.  Move Heaven and Earth to get this team a center.  

 

If we don’t sign one in FA then I predict we draft Garrett Bradbury out of NCST. There’s a Beane connection here too.

How so?

Because I think what really happens is teams rate prospects and put them into tiers. 

 

So if a Safety is a 7.6 this year and an OT is a 7.5 they fall into the same band and the Bills would take the OT. 

 

I think teams group similarly graded players and then pick from need out of that group.

C.J. Spiller.  He was bpa at the time, but the Bills had a number of needs and running back wasn't one of them.

I agree with that.

So take the less talented player because it's a need. What a terrible way to draft. Good thing beane said he will take BPA

That’s asinine. You aren’t going to find a difference that great between whoever you think is the best Defensive player and every single player left on offense. You do not need anything on defense and certainly not in the top 10 of a draft. You just do not take a defensive player at 10. Phrase it anyway you want. The defense is fine, if not excellent. The only work this team has done is on the defense. Enough. It’s built. Fix the disgraceful talent level on the offense. You don’t keep taking CJ Spiller when you have Fred Jackson and Marshawn Lynch. That’s what an idiot would do. Make the team better. There is a finite amount of assets to do so. Pushing starters to the bench will not help you. Fix the areas that are wastelands. Almost every position on offense currently is.

Actually all these reports saying Bills picking 9th or 10th are correct because the ones saying 10th are based on all game results before IND/TEN game is concluded while the ones saying 9th is based on the assumption that IND/TEN doesn't end in a tie. At this moment (before IND/TEN game is ended), Bills' pick is 10th based on Bills having higher strength of schedule than Broncos. Currently Broncos' SOS is 133W/121L=0.5236 while Bills' SOS is 132W/120L=0.5238.

 

However, as long as IND/TEN game doesn't end in a tie, Bills' SOS then becomes 133W/121L, which is the same as Broncos. In this case, we go to the next tiebreakers and Bills in the end would get 9th pick due to worse strength of victory.

 

In other words, as long as IND/TEN game isn't a tie, Bills should get 9th pick.

ESPN just showed 9th

 

If Indy and Ten tie then we'll pick 10th but if there's a winner and a loser (very, very likely) then we'll be picking 9th. ESPN is technically wrong but virtually right.

I would love to get N’Keal Harry, big body receiver who actually makes contested catches and has good speed.

[Rock'em Sock'em]

Winning today was sweet.

Dropping from 7th to 9th in the draft is worth 150 value points - the value of a mid 3rd round pick.

It was great to send Kyle off on a high note.

It was great to see Josh Allen account for 5 TDs and get to .500 as a starter.

Let me explain something to you:  No one knows who the “best player available” is at any particular spot in the draft, especially when you are comparing, for example, a DT with a WR.  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.

I thînk getting a young veteran is best for Josh Allen. I think we go all in on Mitch Morse. There is the Andy Reid connection and others in our front office connected to KC. He's the perfect fit. I also like the kid from Wisconsin, but a young veteran really takes the pressure off of Allen. 

 

I think Paradis goes to the Jets. 

[oldmanfan]

A lot of the draft will depend on what FAs they get.  I'd try to get O line help in free agency, and use the draft for WR/TE and edge rusher/DT help

The Raiders on the other hand, would be a great move. If the Raiders want a QB with their top pick then want another highly rated defensive player, they have the draft capital to do it.

The Bills could easily ask for the Raiders remaining top picks in the 20's, then be put in a situation where selecting both an O-Lineman & Wide Receiver would make more sense, value wise.

 

I would love this. Give me 2 lower 1st round picks in exchange for pick 9. It makes sense for the Raiders too because they have a lot of picks and they need top 10 talent on their team.

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

I say use the money in FA to build the best Oline humanly possible. Then just go after the best skill position players in the draft. WR/RB/TE...Finnish this rebuild

So if the next best wr is graded as a mid to late round pick by your scouts and the dt is graded out as a top 5 pick you would take the wr. 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?
