Not really impressed by the guy's projection in the NFL. But in the right system perhaps he can make an impact. Every draft year Bills fans latch on to a wide reciever like this and I guess Isabella is the guy this year. I thought it would be Hunter Renfroe. I prefer David Sills. Not by the looks of it in the Senior Bowl where he posted a Julian Edelman-esque 7 catches for 74 yards, one rushing carry for 14 yards, and 1 TD. 1

I actually like Isabella quite a bit; I just think a comparison to AB is pretty wild lol. Isabella would be on my list for the second WR Buffalo takes in the draft (I want them to take at least 2). I prefer Stanley Morgan and Tyre Brady, both of whom can probably be had later in the draft, but I think Isabella is a pretty good option once we get to the 3rd round or so.

Who's on your list for first WR taken? I'm a Hollywood/Metcalf guy. Not sold on Harry or Butler. I like AJ Brown as well, but below Metcalf and Brown.

Negotiations never got as far as talking money or the Bills hearing a price they were unwilling to pay, because Brown via his agent Drew Rosenaus made it clear he straight up wouldn't go to Buffalo for any price or term. Period. Any suggestion that "the price was too high in the end so we walked away" is pure spin coming from OBD so as to try and save a little face and avoid further embarrassment over the entire misadventure. And what were those guys doing going after Antonio Brown anyway? I guess all the "process" and "culture" talk was in fact BS, just like it smelled like, all along! Link please.

I'm not much of a college football fan. But if Stanley Morgan Jr is anything like his father, I'd be in favor of drafting him in one of the later rounds. (assuming the Patriots don't draft him before us) I always thought his father was a helluva player...
TigerJ Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 I don't think the draft will go this way regardless of what happens in free agency. I would not be thrilled if it did. I do agree free agency should give us a few more clues.
yungmack Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 A superstar WR is a waste of money if your QB can't get him the ball because he's running for his life because the line sucks, and if you do not have credible running game because your line sucks, and your TE has to be used for blocking because your line sucks. Job One this year is rebuilding the OL, starting with a center. Everything else is foolishness. 3

Glad you and AB had that nice little fireside chat, and he told you all the details.

I don't know much about Duke, but I require more than CFL-cred at WR to comfortable with hanging onto him... Hakeem Butler is a guy I like as a big, physical, threat... Reminds me of Plaxico to tell you the truth... I feel like Isabella will either be a Chief or a Cheat... Get him in space and it's first-and-goal every time. -Gotta have an accurate QB though... TJ Hock would be wonderful if the bills don't target a TE in free agency... I didn't see much scheming go into our offense last season. That has to change in order to use weapons like these.

Seeing how none of us were actually on any of the phone discussions between any of the parties, we are all speculating. I agree with you that Brown probably put out the stop sign on the deal. Brown wants money and he wants the notoriety that playing in a bigger market will give him. I'm glad Brown is going elsewhere and I could really care less as to why. 4 hours ago, Buffalophil1948 said: Let's have this conversation in a week. If we don't build up the trenches in free agency then this draft needs to go a whole different way Exactly! I'm with you.

Job One this year is rebuilding the OL, starting with a center. Everything else is foolishness. Nobody has mentioned here not to do anything with the line. Were just saying to make that the biggest priority during free agency. If we build a line that can run block and give up 35 sks on the yr without giving up hurries every play in good with that. We need a middle of the pack line. Of course I would like them to be the best but at what extent we throw all our assets this offseason ?
Golden Goat Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Riemersma was a 7th-round pick. I believe Kevin Everett was a 3rd-round pick. Other than Everett, when's the last time we spent a fourth or higher on a TE? (Not rhetorical -- I really can't recall. ?).
