Corner at 3 seems hard to swallow but then again you just never know in the draft. As with the Packers, I would have advocated that the Lions pick a QB at #3. But as good as Stafford's stats are, he has been unable to do anything of significance to lift the overall team including when he had one of the most dynamic receivers Megatron with him. When they had such a high pick, they should have started the transition to a new offense.
K-9 Posted April 24, 2020 Posted April 24, 2020 Regarding the format of this draft, I liked it a lot more than the glamour and glitz productions of recent years. Last night harkened back to the drafts back in the day with GMs at tables with telephones and assistants writing names down on a slip of paper and running them up to the main table to be announced. Sometimes simpler is better.

But big, prime time production numbers require big, prime time commercial sponsors and they have a say in the timeline. 1

BillsFan4 Posted April 24, 2020 Posted April 24, 2020 (edited) I’m not feeling as good about Miami picking Tua as some of you are. I’d have rather seen them going with Justin Herbert. If Tua stays healthy he could be a great QB. He has tons of talent and his accuracy + anticipation look top notch (from what I’ve watched/read anyway). Tua May have some health question marks, but IMO Herbert has more ?? when it comes to playing the QB position at a high level. I felt like Herbert was another tannehill level (mid-tier/mediocre) QB where as if all goes well with Tua he has the chance to be a top 5-10 QB in the NFL. But they always say “be careful what you wish for”, so maybe I’m wrong (like many times in the past) and in a few years I’ll be glad they didn’t take Herbert (and/or did take Tua... I hope!).

I see the side of wanting to trade down, but I don’t think they had the offers that were rumored. Yeah I was thinking the same thing. I would imagine they would've taken just about any legit offer.
MrEpsYtown Posted April 24, 2020 Posted April 24, 2020 (edited) Tua is a nice fit for what Chan Gailey likes to do. They are building something there and I think its going to be Bills-Dolphins going forward. Sam is going to bust imo. At the same time, I stand by the idea that Justin Herbert is going to be the best quarterback out of this bunch and he is the guy going into the best scenario. He has the most talent of all of them and he is going to the best situation. Edited April 24, 2020 by MrEpsYtown

There is no WR we draft that is moving into Diggs, Browns or Beasley's spot. You may find a RB to unseat Singletary but do we want to or do we just want a compliment? The smart money would be to continue to build the offensive and DL, also the corner position. We have a ton of O lineman. And most of them are at least decent. Do you want 20 O Lineman in training camp? What is the point of signing guys like Spain Long Boehm and Williams if we are drafting another one in the 2nd or 3rd round? The only O lineman that is old is Nseke. The rest are all young or in the prime of their careers. D line we can get younger. But I do not think the talent level of the guys falling into the 2nd round at DE, (except Uche) are nearly as dynamic as the RB's or WR's that will be available. Epenesa Weaver Lewis are ok. I would take Uche if available. He has talent and a big upside. My son plays DE in college and knows the position real well. He doesn't like any of the other guys in the 2nd round. Especially Lewis who he says is skinny. And according to him Epenesa is not athletic enuf to play edge in the NFL. Corners are a dime a dozen. McDermott can take an undrafted guy and make him a solid player. We have 3 guys more then capable of competing for the starting CB 2 position. Heck I think McDermott and staff could make Lafayette Pitts into a fringe starter at CB given the scheme we run. Drafting a stud RB will not make him a backup. He can compete with Singletary for carries. That makes everyone better bro. As for WR Brown and Beasley are decent. But neither gets a lot of separation. And their are plenty of WR's that are coming out that have more upside. And you definitely need a 4th very good WR on your team in today's NFL. That is one fan's opinion. Take it as you will.

I agree with you in that if Tua stays healthy he will be a beast. If healthy he will be top 10 in the league. I think people are focused on his injuries too much and many may not have seen him play often. When healthy he is the real deal. I did not want Miami to take him and would have preferred they take Herbert. 2

Why is it so pertinent to have a 'very good 4th WR in today's NFL' ? The top team to use 4WR set last year was the Cardinals. Guess what that percentage was.... 18% of the time. After the Cardinals it dropped drastically to 8% used. A long snapper quite often sees more time than the 4th WR. 1

The Chiefs used Tyreek Hill, Sammy, Mecole Hardman and Marcus Robinson. Plus they have Travis Kelce who is one of the 2 or 3 best TE's in the league. (And he plays like a big WR) In addition guys get hurt all the time, even WR. So you had better have some depth guys who can play. I did not say we would be playing 4 receiver sets ALL THE TIME. I just want another stud receiver in the pipeline to compete w Beasley and Brown. Come on man that should be obvious. I think we can do better then Duke Williams (although he can be in the mix if he develops his game more) McKenzie and Foster. Its a passing league now, and I am old school. But look at all the guys drafted last nite. WR's and DB's. The LB Isaiah Simmons looks like a basketball player. The LB's don't look London Fletcher or Chris Spielman anymore. I was watching the draft with a bunch of college aged guys. We were discussing how the NFL has changed since the 70's, 80's and 90's. They asked if I liked it. I said it is exciting. But I miss the violence that used to be the NFL. But my point is that you need a lot of good players who can catch the football and then run with it in today's game. It is not ground and pound until the last few minutes when you are winning.
