The Now Moment Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 2 minutes ago, FeelingOnYouboty said: Yodny Cajuste, Jonah Williams, Cody Ford Too many assets to give up for any of those guys IMO. One of them could even fall into there laps at 23. None of them are worthy of that kind of trade up for at this point, could change as we get closer to the draft. Cody Ford is an interesting prospect to me. Just don't see them giving up those assets for anything less than a Quenton Nelson type of prospect.
T master Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) I would like to see a couple of the hometown players from UB at least on the radar seeing as in the past none of them including Mack & a few others that have had decent careers in the NFL haven't been considered especially being right in the Bills back yard apparently they were passed over . But that being said BB has the pulse of the college game & knows a lot more about the players than i so i'd be all in on his picks ! Edited January 11, 2019 by T master 1

TE Jace Sternberger 6'4" 250 Tex A&M I actually don't mind a lot of these but question when it is we pick DK here - if it's at 9 that would arguably be a helluva reach. The one I LOVE about this is Burr-Kirven, would absolutely love to get this kid in the late rounds. I'm slightly biased being in Seattle and end up watching the PAC games more than most other conferences, but even comparable to other conferences, the kid has one of the best football IQ/awareness traits of any guy out there. He played in the standard 4-3 LB role, but fits more of a SS/LB LOS defender profile in the NFL. He'll get dinged for not falling perfectly within either the physical or speed schools, as his size holds him out of the conversation at the LB position, and isn't quite fast enough to be the prototypical TJ Smith speed LB, though he can get to the flats for coverage consistently. But what he lacks in top value size/speed he makes up for in smarts and form tackling - kid is great in short-mid range coverage and is able to identify where plays are going before blockers can get there to remove him from the play. His 94 solo tackles this year were insane to watch, and while no guy is perfect, it was great watching him diagnose plays and beat blockers/coverage to the ball. Haven't seen many LBs able to dissect run packages like he can at that level, but his contributions would most certainly extend to ST here, too. He'd be an instant depth upgrade at both the LB position and in our big nickel package, and be a great contributor to ST as well. Would love to see this happen on day 3.

I know it seems crazy to think with all the talk from the board (myself included) to going BPA or trade down in the first. But I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see Beane trade up either into the late 1st or early second. In my mind, the scenario I envision is more so the latter where we go BPA in the 1st (likely defensive BPA) - then address WR and OL with two early first round picks. I say this over a late first trade up as it's more likely to land an early second, despite what we'd likely have to give up. Wouldn't honestly hate to see it either - while this arguably wouldn't be the draft to do this, might be worth entertaining the idea as Beane showed he's willing to pull the trigger, even in his first full draft.
RobbRiddick Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 I'd like to see them really go after the O-line in FA, then use the draft for WRs, a TE and a RB, with a defensive pick maybe at 9 since the draft appears to be heavier with defensive talent at the top. Maybe get a C and G in FA and grab the best tackle at 9 (if he's still there of course). I wonder how hard it will be to get FA WRs to come when they assume we're a run team with a QB who is always having his low percentage talked about. Whereas O-linemen you would think would love the idea of playing in Buffalo since it's cold weather and we want to be run heavy, so they know they'll have the chance to plough defences and be a bit more old school. Whatever happens I'm really excited for the offseason this year, more than I have been for... as long as I can remember actually. 2

Offensive lineman Jonah Williams and running back Josh Jacobs also declared for the draft in a Friday news conference. Tight end Irv Smith Jr., who was not present, announced his decision on Twitter.

Winovich will go no later than mid round 3. Right now at 9. I believe it will be Devin White Rashan Gary Ed Oliver Jeffrey Simmons Wasnt impressed by Jonah Williams against Clemson. He didn’t help his stock especially when there were talks that he had not faced a great pass rusher all year. Then he did. First rule of discussing the draft in January..........gotta' understand that there are at least 150 players that draftniks are certain will go in the first 3 rounds. In reality about 15 players that no draftnik thinks will go early will actually go in the first 3 rounds. And amazingly guys like Levi Wallace.........who seemed like even a possible 3rd round pick will fall out entirely of what is basically a 9 round draft after comp picks. Point is........it's too early to be declaring for certain where a prospect of broad differing opinion like Winovich or Lyndstrom will go. 2

Smith is an absolute gamer. I know the current regime has a type of DE, and I think Smith's best fit is probably a pass rushing sub edge player in a 3-4 D, but with a few more pounds of muscle he could be the heir apparent in Alexander's hybrid role. 1 1
JMF2006 Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 We have 2 young punters on IR. Even in the 7th there must be a better option.
