I'd like him or in the 3rd I'd really like Gandy-Golden. I think he's a stud and will be a solid pro. I don’t know about Claypool- he is certainly athletic, but in full games I watched Cole Kmet was the more impactful player.

I’d be happy with two 2s and a 3rd and 4th. Me too, but I don’t think the value of their remaining later picks can get that done. 5th - 7th round picks don’t carry much trade value. 1

A Claypool or Pittman would make for a killer offseason I liked what I saw from Pittman, less so Claypool. Just seemed to me that Claypool should have been more dominant with his physical gifts.
OldTimer1960 Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 (edited) If any of the top RBs like Dobbins, Swift, Taylor, Akers or Edwards-helaire are available at 54, I think it would be very tempting. I do think that DE is a bigger need, but I don’t know if there will be as good a DE prospect available as compared to any of that RB group. Edited March 18, 2020 by OldTimer1960
Udubalum07 Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 (edited) I would go with Weaver out of Boise if he is available in the 2nd if he is still on the board. I watched him a lot in college and was always making an impact in every game. I see him being a consistent 7-10 sack guy in the NFL. Edited March 18, 2020 by Udubalum07

On this team right now with our receivers, he could just be a red zone threat and that would be a much role right now. And he would have great vets to learn route running and other tricks to being a good receiver. I think it would be an amazing pick and give Allen another, much different type of weapon.
The Firebaugh Kid Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 RB unless Shenault is available. He does both. So does Gibson, who I actually like more.

I’d be happy with two 2s and a 3rd and 4th. IMO, this isn't a good strategy. Guys in the 2nd and 3rd are simply much more likely to bust than guys taken in the first round. A trade up might be justified to get a pick in the first ten picks of round 2 but since the Bills will be drafting in the bottom third of both rounds, the chances of moving up to the top of second round seems likely to cost too much. I don't think trading up in the third round is a good idea at all. The Bills are in a position at this point to improve their backups and ST with guys from the third, fourth, and fifth round, some of whom may eventually develop into really good players if given the opportunity. The Bills 2019 had too many UDFAs, PS refugees, and 6th and 7th rounders once you got beyond the starters. They need to improve the bottom of their roster as well as the top, and the place to find those guys is rounds 3-5.
ngbills Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 WR's that could drop to 2nd - Higgins, Shanault WR's that should be there in 3rd - Pittman, Gandy Golden, Claypool

I think they won’t take WR in 2nd almost no matter what.

For me it’s simply a question of how much trust one has in Beane and Co.’s ability to evaluate talent. I don’t have complete trust but I do have more than I’ve had since Polian.
Just Joshin' Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 The luxury of a successful free agency is that they can go BPA. I suspect the highest rated OT, WR or RB. RB is a sneaky need as there is no good backup if Devin is injured.
Rockinon Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 With all of the additions so far, I have no idea what position the Bills will target in the 2nd. Neither will anyone else come draft time. Genius!!! Just sit back and let the draft come to them. I would not rule out bundling picks to move up either.
FeelingOnYouboty Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 I really hope we do! Getting one of Shenault, Reagor or Aiyuk would be amazing
Putin Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 (edited) I still think we need that BIG TALL up for grabs ( in the end zone) WR i don't think Duke is the answer !!! Edited March 18, 2020 by Putin
