NFL Mock has Bills take edge at 28

Probably aren’t getting an extra day 2 pick for trading out of 28 unless they move pretty far down.

Sounds simple and cheap - getter done!

Draft chart says if you drop say 12 spots from 28 to 40, that is a net value of 160 points. 160 points is mid to late 3rd round pick. It can be done. Bills might need to kick in one of their late day 3 picks to make the math work.

Based on his impressive 40-time and explosive numbers in the cone drills at the combine this week, I highly doubt that Chop makes it anywhere close to 28.

How many Penn State guys have the Bills selected since Pegula took over?

But how many mock drafts have they taken one.?

With the top 6 WRers off the board, I can understand players at other positions being higher on the Bills board. Chop might be that player.

He's basically Yannick Ngakoue without the production. We don't need a 6'3" 250lb DE with 11.5 sacks in 3 years. It would be a waste of a 1st round pick. Let someone else make that mistake. He's not Micah Parsons 2.0 like they're making him out to be.

He won’t fall to us anyway. But you’re way off in your e v a l.

At this point the Bills picking D-line in the first round of the draft has the same effect on me as my kids buying me socks on my birthday.

28. Buffalo Bills: Chop Robinson, DE, Penn State©Dan Rainville / USA Today Sports Images

An edge rusher is high on Buffalo's wish list with the potential departures of Leonard Floyd and A.J. Epenesa. Robinson fits the mold as long, projectable edge rusher.

DE's before 18:

8. Atlanta Falcons: Dallas Turner, DE, Alabama

11. Minnesota Vikings: Laiatu Latu, DE, UCLA

15. Indianapolis Colts: Jared Verse, DE, Florida State

 

 

5 WR taken before 28:

4. Arizona Cardinals: Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, Ohio State

6. New York Giants: Malik Nabers, WR, LSU

14. New Orleans Saints: Rome Odunze, WR, Washington

17. Jacksonville Jaguars: Brian Thomas Jr., WR, LSU

26. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Keon Coleman, WR, Florida State

Unless Buffalo addresses WR in a big way, this is a bad move IMO.   It’s clear that the Bills need some major improvement on the outside

[BigDingus]

I will turn around & immediately jump out my window if we use another 1st on an Edge player.

 

Unfortunately, I won't fall far from the first floor, but at least I'll know the intent was to smash my head in frustration 😅

I;d be alright with the pick. Not ecstatic but at our pick in the draft the drop off between the 6-like 12th wr isn't so excessive I'm worried about getting a specific guy in the second. We wait until round 4 or 5 I'd be a little miffed but not going wr in the first unless a Brian Thomas or Odunze somehow magically fell wouldn't hurt my feelings. A lot of holes to fill going into free agency, obviously this changes if we fill most with quality players I don't want to draft a depth player over a starting wr that'd irk me. All that said I doubt Robinson falls to us anyways and we either go wr or take a dt or Cooper Dejuan for the safety position.

Please no.  I know we needed lineman, but we have so much money in Von and Oliver, that I don't want to see another 1st round pick on a lineman yet.  Give Josh another weapon on offense, then you can go defensive for the rest of the draft.  I would like to see them draft a center than can replace Morse this year or next, but that's about it.

 

Get all the D-Lineman, Safeties, and DB's McD can handle in rounds 2-7

[Warriorspikes51]

Just cancel the draft if we go Edge / DE in Round 1

Again, he's another athlete without much to show for it on the field. He had 15 TOTAL tackles in 10 games with 4 whole sacks. Amazing. I don't care what Baldinger has to say about three highlights he pulled from a game against Iowa. Of course they aren't showing the tape where he's getting cleared out by the OL or taking himself out of plays. That's an easy pass.

It’s ok because Kc will be more than happy to have a few choices on which Wr to pick from.

 

Is it not possible to find a decent  edge in round 2? 

 

 

The drop-off for edge is a lot sooner and more precipitous than the drop at WR this year.

 

A lot of good WRs deep this year. Edge not nearly so much.

[John from Riverside]

I just don’t see it
 

He doesn’t have the college production which has been something they have been looking for

Disagree. Their first round picks have generally been traits guys more than production.

It really isn't. 

 

It could very well be a pass. But it isn't easy.

 

IMO he's not the Bills type at edge, although his build is Vonnish. We tend to draft long guys who can play the run as well. Which does tend to leave us a team without pass-rushing freaks.

 

My guess is he's a part of the four to six guys they'd consider if they're not moving up or back. Maybe not, but maybe. But it's true he doesn't seem to be the type they take in the draft at edge.

 

But I disagree that he doesn't have much to show for all of this. Not many sacks. But a lot of pressures. That's not nothing or nothing much. It's a thing. I agree with you that I'd rather see more sacks. But if he had more sacks, we wouldn't be talking about him because he'd clearly be a top 10 or 15 guy. Guys who fall to the mid to late 20s have something wrong with them, some question or questions. It's the way it is.

He looks extremely small. Hard pass!
