Draft a WR with the #1 overall? Seriously? And who's throwing to this paragon? The pull-it-out-your-ass wins are over and I suspect the Bills to be drafting between 8-12. First overall pick has to be a QB.

Spain has been pretty good, no?  I don’t think o-line is a pressing offseason need.  JMO.

 

Spain has been good. After being up and down the first 5 weeks he has really found a good consistent level of performance. 

 

One year contract though. I suspect it will cost more to sign him next year. 

[CaptnCoke11]

Wouldn't mind A stud MLBer to get Edmunds out of that spot.  That experiment isn’t going too well

Theres so many good WR’s in this class, value Might be for an Edge in rd 1 and WR in two. 

 

Leave it to the Bills to draft a DL in a WR heavy draft

 

We already made that mistake this past year. Don't make it again.

 

[John from Riverside]

I want a number 1 wide receiver......

 

If we can find Johnson in the late rounds like we did.....we can find a pass rusher in round 2.....LETS GET JOSH ALLEN A NUMBER ONE WIDE RECIEVER

Perhaps.  I could see Ryan Bates sliding into that spot also.  I would like to see them extend Spain for a year or two though.  Everyone else (Dawkins, Long, Feliciano, Bates, Ford, Morse, Nsekhe) is locked up at least through next season.  I think we are pretty well set at o-line without using any significant draft assets.  I’d rather use my top picks on WR, Edge, LB, and CB.

I'd take another developmental tackle but not day 1 or 2. 

 

I think both Dawkins and Spain have got better as the season has gone on and the chemistry has clearly developed between the two of them. I think the Bills will be interested in extending Spain IF they want to persist with Ford at RT. If they don't then their way to get Ford into the starting lineup is at a guard spot. 

 

I actually think Feliciano's play has dropped off the last few games but the coaches like him and they will persist with him I think. 

[HappyDays]

I will be shocked if they don't draft a WR in the 1st. Couldnt tell you who but they're going to add some talent to this offense.

[Rocky Landing]

I would want the draft to go something like:

1st round: BPA of WR, Edge, LB

2nd round: BPA of WR, Edge, LB

3rd round: BPA of WR, Edge, LB

Subsequent rounds: BPA

The past 3 weeks have had all of us questioning this team, no doubt. I’m going to say we take care of bitness against the Phins, Broncos, Jets and Steelers to finish 10-6 and make the playoffs for the first time in Josh Allen’s career.

 

I won’t try and predict playoff success, but let’s assume we’re drafting somewhere in the 20-28 range. Most would agree the Bills need help at multiple positions, and WR would be near the top of that list. My choice would be Tyler Johnson from Minnesota.

 

Last year, I was high on Terry McLaurin. Experienced guy with excellent separation and route running ability. These types of guys have proven over and over to be incredibly valuable. The athletic freaks are much harder to predict, and much more dangerous to pick. A guy like Johnson seems to be safer and have almost as high of a ceiling while also having a far higher floor. Check out the article below that outlines some of his abilities and highlight plays. He’s the real deal.
 

GO BILLS!

I saw him against Penn St and he looked pretty good, wouldn't be upset about this.

WR IS at the top of the list...multiple offensive weapons should be.

We must be watching a different guy then ??‍♂️

Obviously another WR is needed, an elite one at that. Wouldn’t mind a RT and bumping Ford into LG, leave Feliciano in at RG. Also, we’ll need another CB and a few LBs. For a 6-3 team I see some glaring weaknesses.

 

I wouldn't say glaring but definitely in need of an upgrade

You have to look at positional stength. If there’s 15 good receivers and only 5 good edge rushers, you gotta take the edge first. But it’s too early to say anything anyways. My preference is to sign an edge and then draft a WR.

Leads the team in tackles

Is the exact fit for what McD is looking for a MLB

Makes it very hard to pass over the middle

 

He isnt that stick his head in a behive MLB that cant cover anybody but is always in the right place at the right time vs the run

 

Its all about what the defense is looking for out of its MLB

The big question is whether our team can identify the right WR. 

 

Will our team be allowed the use of two hands and a flashlight?

And yet, wasn't DL a positional strength this past year?

You are assuming that the top DL of this past draft wont end up being studs.....which is foolish

[Do The Reich Thing]

RB Chuba Hubbard is my guy outta OK St. Him and motor would be an excellent tandem for 3-4 years
