My 1 player I didn't want them to touch last season was Josh Allen. I'll sit this year out.?

 

This is why we have professionals!

I'm a firm believer in shoring the middle of the Offensive Line. I'd like to see the Bills get a Center and a Guard to go along with Teller.  If that means moving down...so be it. Use the acquired picks to get a 'high-ish' round WR and RB.

Has a NFL team or any team for that matter ever had 2 impact players with the same name on the roster at the same time? 

I HIGHLY doubt it, but the other Josh Allen will be long gone at 9. Would have been awesome.

I surprisingly and honestly don’t care. I trust the process.  I can see upgrade needs almost everywhere and what they don’t get in the 1st, I’ll wait until the 4th to see if it doesn’t get addressed before having my “moment”

I scope out a lot of mock drafts, and we keep being paired with DK Metcalf. NOT impressed... The numbers:

Receiving & Rushing

    Receiving Rushing Scrimmage
Year School Conf Class Pos G Rec Yds Avg TD Att Yds Avg TD Plays Yds Avg TD
Career Ole Miss         67 1228 18.3 14 0 0   0 67 1228 18.3 14
2016 Ole Miss SEC FR WR 2 2 13 6.5 2 0 0   0 2 13 6.5 2
2017 Ole Miss SEC FR WR 12 39 646 16.6 7 0 0   0 39 646 16.6 7
2018 Ole Miss SEC SO WR 7 26 569 21.9 5 0 0   0 26 569 21.9 5

 

Also, neck injury... Hello, Eric Wood... Don't want to lose a valuable player and draft position due to injury.

 

How do those numbers garner a #9 pick?

 

Either 1) the national mock authors are idiots, 2) they think we are idiots, or 3) they see a need at WR and just plug in the name they hear a whole lot of draft talk about.

 

Also would pass on Noah Fant, TE - Iowa. Saw his snaps decreasing; mentions by coaches of "lack of desire."

 

Smells like Benjamin at the TE position...

I didn't watch enough CFB this year to develop any strong biases, but here are some of my choices from yesteryear:

  • 2011:  No to Von Miller; I was still haunted by the ghost of Maybin.  I was pretty psyched when the news broke that Dareus would be ours for the taking
  • 2012:  No to Mark Barron.  I was relieved when the Bucs picked him, but was soon yelling "Noooo" at the TV when the Panthers picked Kuechly just before us.  Would Kuechly have been a Bill if he was still there?
  • 2013:  The year of the non-franchise QB. I remember hearing that Nix was high on Mike Glennon, which made him a firm pass for me.  Funny that he turned out to be the best of the bunch, though that's not saying much.  Say what you will about Buddy, but he knew a mediocre/poor QB when he saw one  
  • 2014:  Feeling anti-Ebron, due to his alleged disinterest in blocking, rings a bell
  • 2015:  No 1st round pick; don't remember
  • 2016:  Reggie "Would've been a top 10 pick in the '90s" Ragland.  At least we waited until the 2nd, though it did cost us a couple of 4ths.  Watching the Seahawks take Jarran Reed with our #49 pick just twisted the knife.  I also wanted no part of Cardale Jones.  That was a pretty rough draft for me
  • 2017:  Chad "don't care who your uncle is" Kelly
  • 2018:  Wasn't interested in trading up for Allen; I thought he was too big of a risk for a top 10 pick.  I hope to be wrong about that.  I wouldn't say I was anti-Edmunds, but I was disappointed when they took him over Vander Esch

I worry about reaching for any offensive player if a better defensive player is available.

 

My risky player is the TE Fant.

 

Great athlete with amazing vertical and the size/speed you look for, but Iowa fans felt he took a lot of plays off if they were not going his way, had inconsistent hands, and crumbled to the ground at first contact. Also the coaches there limited his reps quite a bit over the latter half of the year - a lot of speculation that they did not like his effort and blocking and preferred to use T. J. Hockenson as their go-to TE.

 

Just speculation, but gives me pause. Either way a risky prospect considering there are some other TEs in this draft with less question marks.

 

Whatever receivers the Bills are interested in, they should have them catch from a jugs machine set as high as it can go to see if they can hold onto the ball.

As someone with eyeballs that just witnessed Quenton Nelson's effect on the Colts o-line, I politely disagree.

 

There is no Nelson in this class.

I would pass on OL and WR. I think the value of these positions are in the 2nd and 3rd rounds of the draft. Williams and Little seem like reaches and WR will be a big reach at 9.

 

1st round- Best Defensive Player Available or trade down.

 

2nd- WR

 

3rd-OL/TE( I fully expect the Bills to sign two veteran starting caliber OL this offseason)

Total agreement on Gary. I'm a Michigan fan so I watched every game. Absolutely do not see him as an impact player at the next level. 

Interesting regarding Gary.  I only watched him 3-4 times and he didn’t really stand out.  Is he Shaq Lawson 2.0?  Solid guy mostly effective vs the run.  I remember when he chose Michigan 3 years ago.  It was a big get for harbaugh.

Yeah. I think Greedy Williams is a fine prospect who will likely be an upper echelon corner, but I don't want to allocate a top ten pick to another corner. McBeane has proven capable of addressing that position without such an enormous investment.

No one would ever be able to pass on us though.  I m not saying I want him (I’d prefer pass rush if we go d)  but our d would be sick.

Rashard Gary on defense guy will light up the combine but seen enough Michigan games to know the guy just disappears way to often in games 

 

Damien Harris RB of Alabama on offense this kid was a product of Bamas oline and wasn’t impressed at all with him

So you would you have passed on Quenton Nelson if available at 9?  Or are you saying there are no OL worthy in in 2019?

 

There's no Quenton Nelson level prospect in this draft.
