Mike in Syracuse Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 I can't stop thinking that I want the Bills to draft Hock at the 9th spot. I know that's high for a TE but what a fantastic offensive addition he'd be for our young QB. 6 1
78thealltimegreat Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 He’s a terrific prospect no doubt but this is as deep a TE class as has been around in awhile a really good probably middle first round pick in other years will be there in the second 1
Alphadawg7 Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 I think its a real possibility and I would be excited about it. I will be excited about a number of guys at 9, we are going to get a great prospect. I started a thread that I do NOT think it will be a DT at 9 and expect an EDGE rusher or possibly Hockenson. My preference would be to trade down of course, then grab either TJ or Fant if they go TE, but if they don't find a trade partner then I think TJ is someone that will be in play at 9. If we do not go TE early, then I think someone like Jamie Oliver will be a target in rounds 3 or 4. 1
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 I want the best TE in the draft. I’m all in for it at 9 or any pick that requires what I just said. Im tired of these lower mid tier TEs. In Bills history, we have never had a truly elite TE. I’m talking Kelce, Ertz, Kittle level. Not A guy like Pete Metzalars that was a great BILLS tight end...I want a guy that is great in relation to the rest of the NFL. Not just the C list guys in Bills history. Go out and get the top TE. I don’t mind it at 9. 6 1
Hebert19 Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 Trade back and take him later and get another 2nd. 3 1
thebandit27 Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 Best argument I have is this: when was the last time that a top-10 TE went on to have a great career? Matter of fact, when was the last time that a 1st-round TE went on to have a great career? Moreover, who are the best TEs in football in the last half-decade? How many of them were 1st-round picks, let alone top-10 picks? 13 1 3
947 Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 I do like Hockenson, but chances are, we won't be drafting in the top-10 again anytime soon. If we pass on an OT prospect, we may not have the chance at a top one for a long time. There'll always be top TEs in the mid-late 1st. 3 1
TPS Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 He's a nice shiny toy, and I wouldn't complain, but if the Bills can get a stud DT who can improve their run D, it would put their D into elite territory. 1 2
K-9 Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 Because the odds are good there will be a far better prospect available at that pick. 2 1 1
formerlyofCtown Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 I wouldnt hate it, but the value doesnt quite line up for me. If the FO thinks he can be a perannial ProBowler then so be it. But that is what I expect from a top 10 pick. (He doesnt have to actually make the PB just play at that level)
Canadian Bills Fan Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 Ugh I cant stand the womans voice on the highlights. Makes me cringe. I would love this guy to become a Buffalo Bill

DrDawkinstein Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 Not at #9 overall. With a trade down, sure. But I'd rather stay at #9 and get the BPA. 3
John from Riverside Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 I absolutely will not be upset if it is Hock....would still prefer him in a trade down. We have addressed so many needs in free agency and already had a lot of the roster already under contract........this might actually make sense. I would not want to do it at 9 though
Just Joshin' Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 Why not: there is a higher rated player on the draft board. If he is closely rated to a player above, then make the pick. I suspect that will not be the case as a top rated DT will drop to 9.
Dkollidas Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 I won’t change your mind bc I would be good with it. He’d be Allen’s version of Greg Olsen. i want them to draft talent on offense. I believe they can coach defense well enough to get production out of middling talents that work hard.
Bangarang Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) Just say no to a TE at 9. He may be a solid player eventually but I want more than just solid with a top 10 pick. I bet he won’t go top 15 either We desperately need help on the d-line and that is by far the strength of where we are picking. Just take Ed Oliver and let him wreak havoc on opposing QBs Edited March 15, 2019 by Bangarang

The thing is its not even middling talent.....this D is pretty much set and we would have 9 more picks..... We really set this D up last year getting Edmunds, Taron Johnson, finding Wallace, etc.
