I only know of the Guard an RB, but love the overall positions targeted.

Happy to see Avila on that list.

Ji’Aiyr Brown is such an intriguing prospect, but I’m not sure his style fits this defense.  Not known to have great instincts in coverage.  More of an in the box thumper.

I would LOVE this draft. Robinson is a top 5 talent, Jayden Reed is gonna be a really good receiver, and Brown hits like a truck. Vorhees would be a great value late and will only be there due to injury. 

[RyanC883]

would like OL meetings, but perhaps there is a FA plan for it.

Miller is a smart playmaker and sure tackler, but he isn’t the fastest guy.  Seems like an odd choice for Bills D style.   They seem to value speed more than anything. Good player though.

We'll see what happens during pro-days and the visits to One Bills Drive.

Interesting that they didn’t have any draft interviews with more Linebackers. With Edmunds seemingly out the door, one would think they would have talked to more than one prospect during the event. Especially with several “McDermott Character” players who attended both the Combine and Senior Bowl;

 

Cam Jones - Indiana

DeMarvion Overshown - Texas (Even more curious he wasn’t at the Dinner with Bijan and Roschan)

Ivan Pace - Cincinnati 

Daiyan Henley - Washington St. 

SirVocea Dennis - Pitt’

Aubrey Miller Jr. - Jackson St. 

Dorian Williams - Tulane

DJ Johnson - Oregon

Jack Campbell - Iowa (did not participate in the Senior Bowl)

Dee Winters - TCU

 

Even more confusing is that on top of these Seniors, there was some others I thought would garner some conversation with the Bills at the draft in; 

 

Owen Pappoe - Auburn 

Henry To’oTo’o - Bama

Noah Sewell - Oregon 

Drew Sanders - Arkansas

 

 

 

Maybe the likelihood of Edmunds returning is a strong possibility in the FO’s mind?

 

Personally, Dorian Williams looks like an ideal replacement for a team that is heavily fielding a nickel personnel. Very good in coverage and a decent feel for the development of plays.  Aside from him could Boise State’s JL Skinner add on 15-20lbs and be converted into a LB that would be eerily similar to Edmunds?

 

EDIT P.S. 

 

Not the biggest fan of Tremaine but that’s only due to draft placement and potential contract without the lack of absolute game changing plays by him over the course of his tenure in Buffalo. However… could do a lot worse.

This list leads me to believe the Bills are going to go after a guard in free agency, which they should/better.

[GreggTX]

I guess this means we'll sign a couple big name OL before the draft maybe??? We need a RG and RT at least. I don't want to even think about Bates and Brown starting again. What will it take for OBD to learn that you can't just throw a bunch of backup caliber OL out there and expect to win a SB?

Beane recently talked up Brown pretty strongly.  Seemed like Brown was still in good standing.  I know it's GM lying season but gave the impression that he really liked Brown.  I agree with you though.  They should bring in legitimate competition for RT.

[HappyDays]

Could be Jalin Hyatt, Zay Flowers, Tyler Scott?

[Mark92]

I would be ALL for Robinson at #27 but the online NEEDS to be addressed during FA.

[Dan in Owego]
