BakersBills Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 havent signed any DT and just seems to make sense at 9. 5
Jay_Fixit Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 I think assuming what a team does based on a potential need is silly. Bills could very well draft a WR, DT, TE, T, CB etc. Depends on the board. 1 1
Big Turk Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 (edited) They are going to draft the best player in the highest rated group on the board at their draft position. If that group contains a DT, then it might be DT, if that group doesn't contain a DT then it won't be a DT. They are not "eyeing" anyone at this point. Edited March 13, 2019 by matter2003 2
GETTOTHE50 Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 they drafted meatball the 2nd last year in the 3rd round and paid star last year. they also paid that other dude from miami this year I dont see a DT in the near future at all, unless its for depth. 2 1
DJB Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 Im thinking we trade up and go punter/ kicker round 1. 2 1 2
78thealltimegreat Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 Eddie Oliver in round 1 and Irv Smith Jr in round 2 man I can actually see this happening 6 2
Mc1320 Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 The way you beat Brady is pressure up the middle, DT needs to be the priority - otherwise he will just outgunsling us regardless how good our offense is. 3
Logic Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 Ed Oliver would not surprise me one bit. Another guy who I know isn't on most people's radar but who has "process" written all over him is Christian Wilkins from Clemson. 13 1

Pretty cool that BPA last year just happened to be the 2 positions at which they were desperate for starters. The Bills are absolutely “eyeing” some number of players. Which ones? I have no idea! But I have a fairly decent idea of the positions. Not as good as last year, when the QBs heading into the draft were Peterman & McCarron, and the MLBs were... no one? But where things stand now, the Bills have signed 4 OL to potentially starting contracts - at least high end backup $$. Also signed 2 WRs for too much to justify not playing major roles. But no DL to replace Kyle Williams, and our interior/run D was a weakness last year to begin with. Add in that we currently only have 2 TEs on the roster, and the best one is maybe around Clay’s level from 2-3 years ago, and I think that 2 of DT, DE, and TE will be their first 2 picks. Probably DL round 1, TE round 2, with maybe a small trade up for the TE a la Zay Jonesa couple years ago. 1
Buffalo716 Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 Bills definitely need a top flight DT,,, this class is loaded at the 3 technique position ... some studs in the top 15 2 2

GunnerBill Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 The idea you pass on Ed Oliver because you have Jordan Phillips is pretty darn funny. 10 3 3

maryland-bills-fan Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 I think that the first two rounds will be used to get who they think might make a HOF player. Regardless of whether they are already "set" at that position. 2

They have nobody at DT, you named two rotational players. 1

Sorry, I can’t recall the lone decent punter with a name I couldn’t pronounce anyway, who was chopped at the knees and sent to IR, but he was the only one worthy of being on an NFL roster. That Housch played through pain was evident in his weak performance down the stretch. No one is talking kickers from OBD currently, but it was one of -if not THE most glaring weakness last season. Sanborn is under contract but we had no one who was a threat to return kicks. Poor punting contributed to big returns which may not have been entirely the fault of the scapegoat coach, but to date, nothing sans a new coach has been publicly identified as being corrected or changed.
iinii Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 No surprises here. Bumper crop, position of need and McDermott’s area of expertise. Don’t be shocked if we take two. 2 hours ago, MJS said: They resigned a DT. Jordan Phillips. While Phillips is a good signing he is too tall for the interior against the run.
