RD 3, Pick 91: LB Dorian Williams, Tulane

[Augie]

With no fourth round pick, I think it’s time to give my liver a break.

I'm sure Beane would love to hear your advice

Thanks! Could you please pass it on next time you two have brunch together?

You tell him. It was your idea

So last year we spent a third round pick on a backup for Milano, and we follow with a third round pick this year on a backup to the backup to Milano? 

we already have Matachevich for ST and now they felt the need to spend another pick on this

Because Beane has to have some WTF picks so we don’t get spoiled.

With his speed and coverage ability on obvious passing downs maybe we get him and Milano together 

Could eventually become a heck of a nickel pair

Fair point. But in the other poster’s defense, it seems very unlikely that both Bernard and Williams play any significant amount of time next year, or probably at all. Obviously that could change if Milano gets hurt, or if one of them fills the big nickel role or something. 
 

We play 2 LBs the vast majority of the time. Milano is an every-down player. That leaves one spot of regular play time between Bernard, Williams, Klein, Dodson, or Spector.

 

Could be true but depth is never a bad thing either, Milano goes down it seems every season.

Another small front 7 player... Why is that Beane's obsession?

It's the new NFL.

Our biggest rivals - Cincy and KC are going to throw way more than run. Need that speed , athleticism and coverage skill in this scheme

 

If he has some legit instincts, he'll be a better fit than Tremaine

That OLB comment really meshes with what I was saying. Not an immediate Edmonds replacement 

Exactly. It's Milano to MLB. With Klein coming in to big body the position

Lol. London Fletcher was 242. This waste of a pick is 228. 

Everyone’s weight stays completely static for their entire life so you nailed this take.

Agreed I just thought it was funny reading that right after hearing what he said. I hope me and Marino are both dead wrong about Williams.

 

Right...And for the record, I don't love the Williams pick, and I especially did not like the Bernard pick last year...it's weird. I love having them both on my team because they are great team guys...But I just look at this Defense right now and wonder how in the world they are going to stop anyone from running the ball? I'm not overly impressed with their DT's, and their LB's are either small/light or Klein...It's just a weird mix...

Edmunds was not the right choice and Milano was developed and a longshot.

 

 

Edmunds was a good choice. Regardless of the pitchfork crowd that he attracted over the years. There's a reason he's now the 4th best paid off-ball LB, behind only Roquan, Shaquille Leonard and Fred Warner.

 

And the reason he was developed was that he was drafted. By the Bills. As a longshot. 

 

You do know that drafting a longshot who becomes terrific says great things about your drafting, right?

Very late 3rd round pick in a weak draft.  So not going to get angry about it.  

 

I think they just feel we need more speed at LB and I’m fine with that.  They absolutely do and if he’s a good backup for Milano then that works.  

[Straight Hucklebuck]

Could the Bills have traded down? 
 

91st overall?

 Because McD is running the show and gets what he wants. An undersized, quick, lunch pail to work guy that’s the underdog. This pick has McClappy written all over it

Can we trade Bernard for a 4th then? Please? Lol

3rd round picks are the new car depreciation of the NFL draft.

If you got a dome, would you let up on him?     😋
