Orlando Buffalo Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 Strength is something that can be fixed easily as a pro- though likely not by September- the agressiveness is an trait that you are born with generally and it is extremely important. 1

I wasn't a fan of his lack of quick feet for being a Tackle in the NFL attempting to handle the new speed power based edge rushers, and I felt Risner was the much more complete Tackle with even greater utility value as well. My inclination is they will try and start Ford at RT as an immediate upgrade given the Guard depth we added in FA, but they may look to fill him in at both. Before I garner all the hatred of the board, Ford is a great OL talent that still needs refinement at the next level, but I must say that at the end of the day I'm still happy with this pick and even happier we didn't give up too much to move up two spots. What you say makes sense to me. I'm happy with either one, but would like to know the basis for the Bill's decision. They will never get into it tho.

As mentioned above, if you think brown, Beasley and an injured TE no one's heard of is the answer, we'll have to agree to disagree.

Wonder why why we we traded up two slots from 40 to 38 fir him? Was Tampa going to take him at 39 Kalsu, I think on the first page someone linked to a tweet that it really seemed like, yeah, Tampa might have been interested in taking him.
KOKBILLS Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 Like Cody a lot... Thought he was a 1st Rd Pick for sure...Also thought he would go to Carolina a few picks before when they took Little...I strongly prefer Ford to Little...? 1

Plus, how is Allen going to throw to the skill player you want if he is on his back? I've been pounding the walls for skill position talent since day one. But from my very limited knowledge I've gotten the sense this draft is weak in skill position players. Add in the fact that Beane did make a play for Brown and ODB to some extent. Possibly a sign he didn't see a chance for a marquee WR in the draft and was exploring other avenues. I'll criticise picking positions that aren't a pressing need, or are not as impactful to the game. But I will never criticize the trenches. If you don't love Metcalf keep beefing us up on the lines. The trenches collectively make EVERYONE better. And we can search for weapons when the opportunity arrives. Lots of holes. Be opportunistic. Don't force it.

Iamkrgr Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 When I saw the trade up I figured either Ford or Risner were the pick. I'm very happy that we are investing heavily into the lines. Games are won in the trenches. I'm all for Cody Ford.

Our offensive line is very big. Every G and T signed this year were 6'4" and over 320. Risner didn't fit size archetype. Dean Kindig pointed this out a couple weeks ago.

NewEraBills Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 I like the pick. Run on lineman now. And if you don't get your lineman this year you could be out of luck.

DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 (edited) I have to say, this regime sure is looking like they know what the hell their doing. I know, let the draft/camp/preseason pass before we know what this off season/draft molds in to. it sure does have the feel of something special is beginning to unfold with this franchise.
