GunnerBill Posted February 18, 2021 Posted February 18, 2021 (edited) Running backs, wide receivers and linebackers are where I am closest to Bucky's rankings. My top 4 in those three positions at the moment are the same as his. Edited February 18, 2021 by GunnerBill 1

SoCal Deek Posted February 18, 2021 Posted February 18, 2021 I’ve looked at a few mock drafts and am always suspect of ones showing the Bills taking the third or fourth best guy at any position. So the one that intrigues me is Collins, the OLB from Tulsa. He’s routinely listed as the top prospect at his position and is definitely an open roster spot for the Bills. I didn’t see a single Tulsa game this year, but I tend to like these players who stand out in lesser conferences. They often have a prove it attitude. 3
Ga boy Posted February 18, 2021 Posted February 18, 2021 Can't pass on Darrisaw or Trey Smith at 30. Please be there.

I do love those two running backs. I might even have Carter ahead of Williams I would have to check. I gave them both very similar grades.
DCOrange Posted February 18, 2021 Posted February 18, 2021 I haven't dove nearly as into the draft this year as usual, but I will say the clips floating around of Jaelan Phillips the past couple days have me swooning a bit for him as a pass rush prospect. Still hoping we address the line in free agency first so that we aren't leaning on a raw rookie, but he seems to have some serious gifts.

Trey Smith almost certainly will but that is because #30 is way too high for him IMO. If he is there at #61 then I'd be interested. 3 minutes ago, DCOrange said: I haven't dove nearly as into the draft this year as usual, but I will say the clips floating around of Jaelan Phillips the past couple days have me swooning a bit for him as a pass rush prospect.

I haven't done the Dline yet but I did see a highlight clip on twitter that made me take notice. 1

Would you go Darrisaw if there? What would be best realistic pick there? No hurry. I’ll keep watching.

No hurry. I’ll keep watching. I think OL is a likely pick. I'd 100% go Darrisaw or Alijah Vera-Tucker if they got there but I don't think they will. I think it is early for a "pure guard" if you see what I mean. If a guy can play tackle then definitely. I think a guard that early needs to be a really complete prospect and I'm not sure I see someone who quite meets that requirement. As for where I'd go at #30.... I don't know. I change my mind daily but the two lines are my priority unless someone too good to miss falls - Kadarius Toney for example. 1

Terrible article! He doesn't even bother rating punters and kickers. And what about punt catchers, were is their ranking? 3
Weatherman Posted February 18, 2021 Posted February 18, 2021 DeVonta the #3 WR? If this dudes available in the 20’s I’m trading up for him and letting Brown walk. He might be the best WR to come out of the draft since Julio. Needs to add some weight and I don’t see that being a huge issue. 1

Punt catchers were eliminated as part of rules changes but I do have concern about long snappers; we need one with kick rush ability when not snapping. Bills like players with multiple skills. 1

But there is no way he lasts to the 20s. The top 3 receivers are all going top 12 IMO. 1

I really want to protect our best player and open some holes too. Belichek always took care of TB first. Go Bills!! 1

The guy supposedly declined to weigh-in at the Senior Bowl because he weighs 162. If true, that's at least 20lbs underweight. If he's been unable to add weight in 4 years at the best program in college football, he's definitely gonna struggle to do it in the NFL. Assuming he does a Maybin & bulks up for the combine, his speed & agility will definitely be affected, and that's what got where he is. I'd definitely take Chase or Waddle over him, they're much closer to sure things.
