Yeah, he was kidding. Some of us (and I mean the people in the room with me) are a bit punch drunk now. 

 

 

I’m alone in the room. 

Hi baby

Automatic F minus for this pick JFC never let this bozo draft another LB

Not knowing the player, so can't judge him, but from what I read you are correct - we reached for the need.

 

And that is a bad thing. We didn't "have to". We should've taken BPA on almost any position in 3rd and figure out who plays instead of Edmunds later.

 

Loved first two picks, don't like this one (not a player, but the approach).

 

Let's just hope he turns out to be a long-term starter. @gonzo1105 I hope you're right

counter: I don’t expect them to think he’s a day 1 starter so it’s maybe not the same need based pick you think.

People on here clamor for a LB… Bills draft a really physically gifted one… People cry 

Look at his weight. Does not scream MLB. add the weight he slows down
we needed a downhill cerebral player like Klein but fresh with a higher ceiling perhaps

Already have a backup for Milano

But honestly  Welcome to the Bills Dorian

Quick look, seems like he's very fast and tackles very well. Negatives seem to be poor change-of-direction ability and bad balance at times. 

Those 2 sentences are all I will need to read about him. So he sounds like a 3rd rounder. Thanks!

But will get pushed around like Edmunds when we needed a between the tackles run stopper. Love the OG pick!!!

That’s up to our DT’s .. when healthy they will be fine. Remember Jones Phillips did not play vs Cinn along w Von and Hyde

So do didn’t JP, hopefully not a similar trajectory 

I was there when the Bills drafted JP. Lol

[K-9]

It’s not much of a reach when a prospect is drafted right where he was projected to go. In this case, late 3rd/early 4th.

Yep, Williams is an OLB for sure.  

 

I do think that when you look at KC, CIN, NYJ, MIA, the Bills are outdrafting our rivals.

What a wet fart dud.

 

Another safety playing linebacker.

 

 

Dewand Jones must have a medical flag because that was our chance to rid ourselves of Spencer Brown. 

On the PFF draft broadcast they said Jones had a disastrous Pro Day - like some teams literally said they despised the guy and would not take him in any round.  And they had Jones at 31 overall on their Big Board.

We’re there no tweeners from Baylor available this year?

 

I keed, I keed, I know nothing about this guy.

So essentially a team who said they needed more out of their rookies spent their first four draft picks on guys who are part time players?  

[NoSaint]

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

[Reed83HOF]

 

[Ralonzo]

Best Williams Available. The Bills were desperately thin at Williams.

Probably a round too early for this guy.

We don't have a 4th, so if he was on the radar, I guess we pulled the trigger. Big run on LB's in this round.

[SCBills]

Ok, that Beane comment makes no sense.   
 

Bills finally figure out how to draft for Offense and decide to be on some shenanigans with the DT and LB rooms.
