The only huh?

 

This is the closest vote we've had in the 3 years of doing this with multiple drafts each year.  I'm also trying to get these done in a reasonable time to where we can get our final one in. 

End of the day, it provides the context that there's a decent split in wanting a WR or a RB.  That's the ultimate point

Yeah, no I get it. But I also think it may be a little biased of who you wanted picked. No Dugger... a couple RBs. And a mix of picks that will distribute other choices. I get the time frame, but it doesn’t seem that fair. I think anyone who is active in these forums knew the pick came down to a WR or RB, or maybe Chinn/Dugger. Yet you listed a couple RBs and only one WR in a VERY strong WR draft... this may be a little slanted to the preference of the OP. Which is fine, because it’s all for fun and anyone’s guess can be right. But I definitely believe this was done in an attempt to fulfill personal preferences.

I don't think so at all.

Edwards-Helaire. 

 

It just isn't how Virgil does these things. He looks at the best available according to the 3 big boards linked in the longer mock draft post and selects the options from there. If there are 3 running backs and one receiver that is because based on an amalgamation of those three boards that we use for the mock their appear to be 3 runners and only one receiver in the 8 or 9 BPA.

You realize I’m also the person who made the post about not believing in drafting a second RB with a high pick, right?

 

My personal choice for the pick was actually a RT or OLB.  
 

I picked a RB based off what I think the Bills would do in that situation.

Smart GM's and coaches put their team in a position to win.  Putting the Bills draft situation into where the "BPA" is at a position of need (RB-1A or RB-1B) is smart. 

 

Also, I think the Bills are always going after the superior athlete with their draft picks, rather than a try-real-hard and got-everything-he-can-get out of his abilities guy. The former can have a high ceiling with proper coaching up.  The latter will often be swamped by the higher level of competition in the pros and is already at their peak.  This aspect does not show up in the Big Boards of the mock drafts.   (Knox was abot the 29th TE and caught all of 39 passes in his entire college career)

Comparing CEH to Thurman?

 

The only guy to me that remotely could be like Thurman?

Yeah, my bad. I was feeling a bit salty yesterday. Didn’t mean to derail a fun thread.

Yeah, my bad... I was reading the wrong tea leaves. Carry on

If we took Kmet over Claypool it would be the 2nd round equivalent of taking Whitner over Ngata.

....And I want a pony and a bicycle and a Wilt Chamberlin jersey and a Playboy bunny for Christmas.   He is out of reach.  Maybe we can see him twice a year when we play the fish..... Sigh....      But E-H would be an upgrade and give us the second good RB.
