BIGFOOTspaceman Posted January 22 Posted January 22 Any Megatron type receivers coming out this year? I don't watch college ball...just wondering. Maybe make a play to move up? I don't know, probably won't matter. We still have Shorter...maybe he can catch a ball. 1 Quote
BearNorth Posted January 22 Posted January 22 (edited) 2 hours ago, DapperCam said: Wide Receiver, Safety, Defensive End. Take your pick, plenty of holes on the roster next year. 28 is late enough where you aren’t going to be landing a sure thing. Check the last 10 years of the 28th pick. I’m not sure there is an impact player in the bunch. Actually, mostly busts.

ChronicAndKnuckles Posted January 22 Posted January 22 I think Bills should go WR in 1 & 3. Someone with a fast 40 time. Get a blue chip safety in the 2nd round. 1 Quote
schoolhouserock Posted January 22 Posted January 22 I think the Bills will end up trading up for a WR. I think they may leave the draft with two. A WR that can reliably win deep is an absolute necessity. Beyond that, the Bills need a route runner / separator that is the heir apparent to Diggs. 1 Quote

This is a heavy draft on WRs, trading up feels foolish see Sammy Watkins 2.0 Toss in think we need as many picks as possible with so many pending UFAs will have a lot of holes to fill. Depending how UFA turns out I'd think a guy like Troy Franklin could be there for picking at number 28 and fits our need for speed. 1 Quote

Kirby Jackson Posted January 22 Posted January 22 (edited) 2 hours ago, Brandon said: Realistically, I don't think it's an option. It would be exorbitantly expensive to move up from 28 to the top 3. I thought through a path yesterday. Trade Chicago Diggs plus 28 for 9 (or whatever their pick is). The Giants at 6 could do something like that too. Use 9 & 2025 1st to get to 3 or 4. Not likely but possible. FWIW, I think Franklin or Legette is the target. They could also drop back and consider Xavier Worthy. I think that the Bills want speed.

DrDawkinstein Posted January 22 Posted January 22 14 minutes ago, ALLinALLEN said: 9 draft picks currently. Wouldn't hate: WR WR CB S IDL In that order for the first 5 rounds.... This draft is too deep at WR, and we have too many other needs, to make a double WR pick in the 2nd. It would be a re-do of the Boogie Basham mistake all over again. Plus, there arent that many balls to go around to justify that value of taking our 5th receiving option in the 2nd round. We should be able to take a WR in the 1st and another in the 4th-6th and still score some top talent while plugging our other holes with guys who can contribute right away as well. 1 Quote
Logic Posted January 22 Posted January 22 (edited) What do we have, 9 picks? WR S S WR WR WR WR WR WR Then go into undrafted free agency and, yep, you guessed it, scoop up some WRs. I'm joking, obviously. Kind of. But in all seriousness, can they please, for the love of God, load up on offense this offseason?! Edited January 22 by Logic 1 1 1 Quote
Iverwig Posted January 22 Posted January 22 24 minutes ago, DCOrange said: At 28, I'd probably prefer WR. The three I'm currently looking at around there are Troy Franklin, Brian Thomas Jr., and Ladd McConkey. They seem to check more of the boxes that I'm looking for than most, though I am a bit concerned about McConkey's lack of reps against man coverage since it feels like we have a lot of zone beaters right now. So might be more of a focus on Franklin and Thomas in the first round for me. As a Georgia fan I would not take McConkey in the first round. Too many injuries at the college level. I would take him in the second round. 1 Quote

If we dont then I would need a FA WR with proven numbers or I would have the same attitude towards the offense as I do now. Quote
Iverwig Posted January 22 Posted January 22 I know the need for a receiver but unless they sign a veteran safety they will probably take a safety because that will be a need also. With the depth of receivers in this draft I say go safety at 28 and trade up in the second and draft a receiver. I think AD Mitchell of Texas may be available in the second but the Bills will probably have to trade up in the second to get him. 1 Quote

Not sold yet on Franklin or Thomas but combine and workouts could change that. 1 1 Quote
LABILLBACKER Posted January 22 Posted January 22 2 hours ago, Cray51 said: This team can make it to the playoffs with sub par play at certain areas, but we need to evaluate what kills us against the top teams. That's WR and DL. I expect a WR in either round 1 or 2, and a DL/S in 3 or 4 That's it in a nut shell. Against KC or Cincy we can't ever get separation. We can't ever put pressure on Mahomes or Joe. Von was a colossal FAIL. AJE & Groot are beyond mediocre. Probably can't afford keeping Floyd? Diggs is diminished. Quote
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted January 22 Posted January 22 I'll say this: I will not rule out trading back out of the 1st. I will actually be more surprised if we stay at 28 than not. While the process is early, it looks like there is a deep crop of receivers. I anticipate that there will "the guy" who the Bills would try to go up for or "a guy" who looks like decent value in the second round. Quote
