Draft MY guy!

I'm happy with the draft so far. IMO Elan and Cook will be starters. Maybe not week 1, but pretty soon into the season. That's 2 starters/significant contributors out of 3 picks so far. Please remember how deep this team is. Can't start every pick, luckily. 

Cook won’t start, Devin will.  But Cook will play a lot and is going to make a big impact this season as a receiving weapon out of the backfield.  Him and Devin already work out together in the off-season and are going to be a great 1-2 punch for us.  IMHO it’s gonna look a bit like Ingram and Kamara did for the Saints

That works for me. I think Cook provides home run ability moreso than Devin. Again, happy to have both. Cook has split out wide in college too. Pick your poison, Diggs, Davis, Knox, Howard, Crowder and now Cook. Love it. 

Edit: I see Kamara potential in Cook.

They try and tell us to leave it to the professionals, but many of us have done our own research and have come to our own conclusions about who the Bills should draft.

 

Days 1 and 2 went by and while I trust Beane, they haven't drafted any of MY guys.

 

Who are some of YOUR guys that you are heartbroken over or will be if the Bills decide not to draft them today?

 

I am not really heartbroken over much.  I have done my fair share of mock drafts and simulations and reviewed available tape, but what I lack is the most important piece - the interviews.  How do these guys process tape, How do they learn, How do they get along with staff and teammates, and most importantly- what are the teams plans and how do we want to move forward?

 

For example - I thought Parham would be a potential pick, but his RAS score is average and is mostly boosted size - some of his movement scores to show pulling and space blocking was terrible.  He had Elite level explosion.  To me that fits more with a box in-line guard and not the current plan.

 

I feel the same way about some of the WRs/TE and how are we going to attack defenses with our new OC. I would of liked a player like Ruckert the TE from OSU, but with Knox, Howard, and Sweeney already on the team and Morris who is athletic as a UDFA - I am not sure what they are really looking to do with the group.  It seems to me they are looking for more athletic TEs to attack seams and Ruckert is more all around.

 

I just think some people get so caught up with names and rankings by these draft sites that we forget that they are trying to rank comparing everyone and NFL scouts don’t do that.  A player like Skyy Moore at under 5-10 and fast, but not blazing speed might not fit with the Bills vision the same way it fits with how KC wants to attack the field and people think we should of drafted him and I am not sure he was even in the conversation for where we were picking as a player we want.

Punt God completes this roster of nastiness.

 

Early, big, leads from Josh and co.

Eat clock, pin em deep

Try and go 90 yards on us passing with Von in the mix.

 

The Penn State guy would suffice as well.  

Punt God will be gone before we pick…it doesn’t matter anyway, we’re not going to be punting this year…

[Maynard]

I’m pissed we didn’t get Skyy Moore and that he went to the Chiefs of all teams…

Two staters on a deep team out of our 1st 3 picks!? I value my opinion more than yours.

Cook isn't starting

[MrEpsYtown]

My guy is still Brandon Smith. He could be the backup to Edmunds, similar to what they just did with Bernard.

Cook is going to be RB 2 / 3rd down back in a running back by committee. Motor should get 60-70% of snaps. 

 

But Cook has proven he doesn't need a high volume of work to be lethal.

I don’t know…Moore seems like a slot guy and not nearly as dangerous as guys like Watson, Pickens or Pierce…that one doesn’t bother me too much.

The point was the bills got "two starters."

 

They didn't. Don't mind me, I'm just salty about another defense heavy draft

[ndirish1978]

Parham and Chad Muma were my guys, was not happy with our 3rd round outing. 

[Straight Hucklebuck]

The Bills should look to add one WR, maybe a Kevin Austin Jr out of Notre Dame.

I'm not sure what current starter was going to lose their spot last night?

 

Gabe Davis if we went wr? Dawson Know if we went TE? Saffold or Bates if we drafted an OG?

Right exactly. I didn't make the contention, though 😄

I do think we have a need for 2 RB's every game, and Cook will be one of those 2 for the very start.

I think he'll start by mid season. JMO.

[Nextmanup]

I'm a fan of the Buffalo Bills football team.

Beyond that, I have no "guys" for which I personally cheer for.

 

Hell, I don't cheer for the individuals ON THE TEAM beyond what they contribute to the team.

Calvin Austin

 

Not necessarily a ‘my guy’ but I wanted WR to be addressed by the end of Day 2, if not in the first round. I also have wanted to see substantially more speed added to the offense both of the past two off seasons. 

Therefor, I guess that makes Calvin Austin a ‘my guy’? 

 

I think he’s overall too small and not long enough to really make any true impact, but he’s still on the board and he addresses what I’m hoping gets addressed so I’d like to throw a day 3 dart at him

Described as “Isaiah McKenzie type”. See also Marquez Stevenson. So THREE smaller (fast) WR on roster?
