But he's good... now nobody cares where he was took. Ward was a definite 1st rounder. He was in most people's 2nd batch of players (after the QBs and Chubb, Nelson, Barkley) and the consensus was he was in play anywhere from #8 with Chicago through to about #20 and Dallas. That said he did go earlier than people expected at #4. 2
Beast Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 The Bills will be taking Oliver, if he is on the board, at 9 overall. There should be no doubt in anyones mind about that. 1
MikeSpeed Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 I would be seriously disappointed. Of course if he turns out to great I'll say I knew it all along. 2 4

Whoever we take though, as long as it's not a Whitner over Ngata or Maybin over Orakpo scenario, I'm good. Stevie Wonder could see the Bills made mistakes with those two. Edit: The only person I would be maf about if we picked would be Rashan Gary. He's an underachieving workout warrior whom I think will be a bust in the NFL just like he was as a 5 Star recruit going into college. Oliver Dk Hock That's my 3 I'm happy with any of them and I'm sure one or all will be available at 9 to choose from 1 hour ago, billsredneck1 said: i don't get how anyone can think he has even half the talent obj has. a big no for me. why don't we trade next year's first and move up to make sure we get him? i can see brandon fist pumping all over again.... You don't get it I don't get why some people fall in love with other prospects I think suck We aren't NFL scouts, we don't do this for a living, we just do it for fun Armchair GM's love to point out when they were right on a pick being a boom or a bust They also don't point out when they were incorrect on 15 other picks/free agents I'm guilty of it, we all are Real GM's and scouts don't have the luxury of hiding when they were incorrect The fact remains that even the best GMs are incorrect most of the time If they were always right then the top 10-15 players in every draft would go #1-15. Instead we have guys like Wilson dropping to the third, taken after guys like tj Graham, or teams trading down and passing on mahomes (I was high on him, but I also thought locker was going to be much better) Many scouts love dk many think he's not worth a top pick, but almost every one I've seen has him in the top 3 if the wr class, just depends how high they value the wr class as a whole 1
End The Drought Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 I’ve come to the conclusion that I trust this front office and the scouting department enough that I don’t care who they draft. Trust the process 1
billieve420 Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 Smokescreen doubt he is selected by the Bills at 9.

Da webster guy Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 Zero chance Beane takes Metcalf. If you know the NFL and you follow the Bills you know we have 4 WR that have proven they can get separation and catch the ball. Foster and Beasley will be a top tandem this year. Nobody can cover those two guys. What we don't have is TE, Edge, IDL, LB depth etc. I think we will go big men in 1st and 2nd. My guess is D first if Oliver is there, then Risner in the 2nd, otherwise Jawaan OT then Tillery in the 2nd. We arent getting suckered into an injury prone, steroid guy like Metcalf to be our WR5 1
Stank_Nasty Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) A lot of the same people that KNEW josh Allen was the wrong pick will be popping up to say they KNOW this one won’t work out either. I always chuckle when people act like they “know” how a player is gonna turn out. IMO anyone with a level head can see that if the draft has taught us all one thing it’s that having strong opinions on players is usually a silly approach. FTR there are a couple others I would much rather have there, but i’d be fine with metcalf. Edited April 17, 2019 by Stank_Nasty 3

I don't think anybody is trading up to take anybody other than a QB Although when it comes to the draft there's always some ridiculously outlandish draft day move-up that makes people scratch their heads

He has just as much garbage games as good ones. Beasley is a b+ slot guy, great pickup, but not a OMG BEST WR EVER Brown has been inconsistent at best in his career. Zay Jones is wildly inconsistent.

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 23 minutes ago, Coach Tuesday said: Grambling is from WNY FWIW. How soon until the media asks him where to get wings?
FeelingOnYouboty Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 Not trying to be mean but I've never heard of Gary Grambling before this. I like the Metcalf pick just because of what it says about Beane and this coaching staff.

Anyone who thinks DK absolutely CAN’T be the guy at 9 because Robert Foster and Cole Beasley, isn’t worth arguing with. The fact that those guys are among our top receivers (and I do like Foster, BTW) is why Metcalf has to be in play at 9. Edited April 17, 2019 by mannc 1
Heavy Kevi Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 I am not super high on Metcalf, but I have been believing he's the plan since we signed 2 pygmy WRs. Given Beanes propensity for physical prototypes, I can't imagine he would ignore it at WR. I believe he never would have signed Brown and Beasley unless he had a plan for somebody 12ft tall that runs 4 seconds flat.
