thebandit27 Posted January 7, 2020 Posted January 7, 2020 I’d love Ruggs, but he won’t be there at 22. 1

So hard to say who is on there board and who they will take but my gut says they wont take Shenault. 1

Do The Reich Thing Posted January 7, 2020 Posted January 7, 2020 I like Tee Higgins over Shenault because he has proven it in the spotlight more. However... I'll make my decision after free agency
The_Ripster Posted January 7, 2020 Posted January 7, 2020 I think RB position is also too deep to grab any RB other than Swift or Jonathon Taylor in the first. Dobbins, Aj Dillion, Cam Akers, Eno and Etienne are all gonna be available in the second and third. I trust the management to go BPA in the first and maybe try and grab 2 picks (WR+RB) in the second round instead of sliding up for a specific WR in the first. Hell, with that strategy they could even go WR, RB, WR and bolster the offence with 3 skill positions before the third round even begins.

It's so hard to say this early - there are good WR prospects throughout and we will probably take 2. You have the prospects tier within the WR group if let's say the top 5 are tier 1 and the next tier has 4 - what is the deference between the tiers? If the top tier is gone before 22 - is it a talent reach to go to tier 2 or do you go to the next position group? I think Beane would make the slight move up to grab one of the top tier WRs, but he won't give away next year's #1. It will be an Edmunds style trade and past history tells us it will be the freakish athlete who has a super high ceiling...

Kirby Jackson Posted January 7, 2020 Posted January 7, 2020 I’ll just throw out a name that I haven’t seen yet to be different - Kenneth Murray. 3
Reed83HOF Posted January 7, 2020 Posted January 7, 2020 1 hour ago, SCBills said: I put the odds of us keeping all our draft picks at .0001% We have depth in a lot of areas, and plenty of young talent. We lack a cornerstone pass rusher and wide receiver - Could also use an upgrade at RT depending on Ford. While I hate losing draft picks due to how well it seems this staff scouts/develops, this would be a year to flip picks for players and/or move up. 100% I really think Yannick is the pass rush target and RT could be had in the 30s to 40s if we don't sign Conklin. There looks like there could be some good safety depth in RD3 as well. 1

I like Dobbins a lot also, although I think Etienne will have size skeptics despite his blazing speed and for some reason right now all the pundits on all the mocks have Swift pegged as that guy going #1. I think it's because of his versatility catching the football honestly which the Bills could really use.

He is a control-freak, and I say that in a positive way. He's also the one building the culture and the front office is supporting that effort in personnel evaluation, among other things. The players are guys that he can work with. I'm not saying other people don't get to communicate, only that he's leading this thing. Yeah, I wouldn’t agree with your take. Beane handles that end with input from McD, in my opinion. 1

Curious to know if you’ve seen the Bills’ video from inside the draft room for 2019? Beane is in charge; no question about it. It’s his show 100%. Now I’m positive that he relies on Schoen, Morgan, Gaine, and McDermott, but there’s no ambiguity regarding who has final say. 1

Durability is the only reason imo why he would fall to us. The guy is a beast.

I get it but if we're looking for a size WR who can play on the outside and be in our top 3 (with Brown and Beasley) I like talking a pass rusher to replace Shaq in Round 1 like Weaver and a guy like Michael Pittman Jr in Round 2.

I really dontt think DS was considered a 5th round pick at the time of the draft.....it seemed to me he got drafted right around where predicted (a good thing for us) 1
Floydboy12 Posted January 7, 2020 Posted January 7, 2020 (edited) I would imagine the Bills will move up or down with an eye toward edge rushers or corner in the first. I like CB Bryce Hall of UVA in the area Bills are picking. In the middle rounds I hope they can grab WR Lynn Bowden from UK. Edited January 7, 2020 by Floydboy12
