Who should the Bills take at #27 

 

*remember, this is for our no-trades mock draft

Welcome to Buffalo Mr. Wright! Man this would be perfect as he either wins the RT job or kicks inside to one of the guard spots. He has the upside to eventually be a LT as well. Go Bills

But it's our pick. Nobody is going to stop you. Just walk up in a dignified fashion.

Given what is available, it should easily be Wright.

[Logic]

Based on the way the board fell in this draft, it's gotta be Wright here.

Protect the franchise.

I think OBD would be thrilled with this result

I’m surprised that ESPN gave Darnell Wright a first round grade. This list is exactly why having pick 27 in this draft sucks.

Going OT in the first round means Spencer Brown is done and I don’t think they want to give up on him. 
 

So I’m looking at DT or Edge.  
 

Mazi Smith or Felix.   
 

 

But I’d trade back.  

[NewEra]

Wright all day.  
 

Not that it matters, but I think Simpson should be on the list if the other 2 LBs are.  I think he’s the best of the 3

It 100% does not mean he’s done. It means that they’re looking towards the future of their oline with a lot of guys nearing the end of their contracts and they’re getting a versatile offensive lineman regardless of what some pundits say he can play multiple positions and can develop into a left tackle.

Have you seen spencer Brown play? He’s terrible.  
 

I agree that Beane feels as you say.  It’s just a massive mistake imo.  If wright is there @ 27 and we pass on him…..

Yea look that’s it.  I’m fine with it I just don’t think they do it.

Maybe I’m confused as to what this draft is.   I thought it was to get a consensus of what we would do rather than what we think the Bills (teams we represent) would do.  That’s how I’ve always conducted it, but I could be wrong,

Why would he be done? David Quessenberry is our swing tackle right now, Brown would immediately take that spot.

 

The guy played 8 on 8 HS football. Didn’t play at all his redshirt junior year and declared for the draft early. It would likely be good for a former third round pick who hadn’t played a lot of football to be a backup for a bit, get his body right, and work on his technique as a tackle. As we have seen, he may not be ready quite yet to be a good tackle in the league.

Maybe both - I’m drafting what I would do if I’m GM.  

 

I was just opining about getting to 27 and this is what the team is faced with.  
 

 

I think I’d go Guard before tackle.  I think I still like Brown ….. that’s probably right.  I think higher of him then most.  I do believe he was probably never healthy last season.

I had to draw the line somewhere.  I've always used ESPN grades.  90 and higher is first round.  I did 87 and up for this.

Why do you like Brown?  I don’t understand

Naturally, everyone has to deliberate and make their own decisions. I am skeptical about Brown, but I haven't written him off. He might vindicate Beane's best case scenario, but if you're wrong there it damages the coherence of the entire line in a big way. If Wright is available, I'd much rather have a contingency plan ready to deploy if they are wrong about Brown.

I went Tippman, but I'm fine with Wright.
