BillsfaninSB Posted July 23, 2019 Posted July 23, 2019 As training camp approaches I was thinking about personnel and how the 4 main picks from the 2017 draft could play a crucial part in this team’s success. If Jones takes it to another level and Dawkins and Milano continue to progress, I have to give McDermott a lot a credit for his first draft while strapped with a lame duck GM. I can understand if many see whiffing on Mahommes as unforgivable, but that aside, the HC may have done really well for his 1st draft and makes me optimistic that he gets it. We don’t know yet if it is a great draft but given the previous regimes track record it’s lookin pretty good. 1
Rock-A-Bye Beasley Posted July 23, 2019 Posted July 23, 2019 Milano is the only good pick. We traded the pick that was Mahomes, but at least we got a QB in the 5th! 1 5 1 1

Tre’Davious White and Dion Dawkins weren’t good picks? Zay seems to be panning out also. A lot better than Chris Hairston, James Hardy, Kelvin Shepherd, and Danny Batten. 3 4
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted July 23, 2019 Posted July 23, 2019 I mean, there is White and Milano... 1

It's not asking too much either, they went out of their way to screw it up. We needed a QB, take a QB, then take another one and another until you have a good one, then take another one that might be better. Zay Jones get a pass from fans for some reason I'll never understand. OBJ makes an arrogant comment in an interview and everyone here hates him. Meanwhile, Zay Jones is on video trying to jump through a window naked and everyone loves him. 4

We have no idea how Josh Allen is gonna turn up. We still made excellent picks in Tre'Davious and Dion Dawkins as well. The jury is still out on Zay. I believe this is his make or break season. He did have a decent 2nd season though catching 7TDs but yes, the 2017 draft is looking good 9

He will be under the microscope this TC and season (if he makes the team). 1

What if we traded that pick to Houston instead of Kansas City ? we could have had 4th overall in the 2018 draft! Edited July 24, 2019 by Bills2ref 1

Everyone loves Zay Jones huh?

That's not what those words mean (revisionist history) The consensus I'm getting here is you're all allowed to say it's a really good draft because of the guys we got, but I'm not allowed to say it might not be good because of the guys we didn't get? 1 minute ago, Doc said: Hindsight is great.

I wanted watson, and it wouldn't matter what I thought, it was a mistake to pass on either. 1

Rock-A-Bye Beasley Posted July 23, 2019 Posted July 23, 2019 Just now, Doc said: Yes. And we didn't take Mahomes or Watson. We took Nathan Peterman. Our opening day starter less than one year ago. 1

Rock-A-Bye Beasley Posted July 23, 2019 Posted July 23, 2019 Be honest with yourselves and think back to the day before the 2017 draft. Tyrod clearly wasn't the future. We need a QB. Imagine what you thought the possibilities were. That draft could not have gone worse for the Buffalo Bills in your wildest nightmares. Watson 103 rating 68% completions 2 years in a row Mahomes is Michael Jordan Nathan Peterman... 1 1 1
