We need to stop the other teams for once. we had the 6th highest scoring offense last year. Not an issue. If the Bills want defense from this draft, they can do a hell of a lot better than this.

BuffaloBillsGospel2014 Posted April 22 Posted April 22 I don't get the Kneeland love, he wasn't even dominant in the MAC, had like a 12.5% win rate and he's elevated to round 1? This is the 1st time I've seen his name in round 1. I could see taking a shot on a guy like Laiatu Latu who if he didn't have the medical, would 100% be a top 10 pick. But I'm not condoning an edge rusher in round 1, get Josh another weapon is the way to go imo. 1 Quote
boyst Posted April 22 Posted April 22 we drafted only one guy with a hyphenated name. so tha'ts a plus in my books. #nevertrustthehyphen. Also... i don't mind these mock drafts. it gets us to look at people we may never pay attention to and learn about who's out there. 1 Quote

MikePJ76 Posted April 22 Posted April 22 I wont be mad about Defensive picks. This defense was awful in the last two playoff losses. They are the reason the team can not advance in the playoffs. It needs to get better 1 2 1 Quote

Blocking WR and Robert Woods clone in round 2 and passing on Franklin Then DT and S No trades up or down Standing pat and taking another smurf blocking WR and 3 defenders with the top four picks.... oh this place would melt down Must be a Miami Fan to mock us that pile of garbage.

QLBillsFan Posted April 22 Posted April 22 It’s not that the players he mocked to the Bills are bad. It’s about them being drafted way before their value. So the Bills would pass on Mitchell, Legette, and Franklin over Kneeland? Yikes. And it continued with other picks. Brutal value. Quote
BillsVet Posted April 22 Posted April 22 Buffalo needs the ability to out-score opponents in the playoffs and even with Josh, they haven't been and still aren't capable of that. You just aren't going to stop elite offensive teams even when relatively healthy in the post-season. Drafting more defense is spinning your wheels. At some point, expecting to get to the playoffs with a high-rotationally driven defense, especially DL, is not realistic. You'd be lucky to keep healthy McD's 8+ man DL after 17 or more games. You're lucky if Bernard and Milano who are both undersized and adept in coverage healthy after so many snaps. McBeane can continue being late to the party on offense and trying to thread the needle with a balanced offense and going the same path on defense. It's more likely to fail and we'll all be back to citing injuries or the offense struggling because it's predictable. The vision has to change beginning now. 1 Quote

How Does KC Defense keep stopping elite offenses in the playoffs. How do you think they keep winning their division and the championships they have. They play great on the line of scrimmage and get stops on defense. Quote
Ethan in Cleveland Posted April 22 Author Posted April 22 I have no issue with them drafting an edge if all the WR with a first round grade are gone, but Kneeland wasn't even first team in the MAC. No freaking way. If they don't get a star WR in the first round, then I would prefer they go volume in the second and take two WRs. Quote
Mikie2times Posted April 22 Posted April 22 I thought the Bills would consider him which started a string of hate which picked up well in this thread. It's not uncommon for him to be mocked in the late first at this point. As I said in my other post he has physical traits in his arm length and wingspan that we clearly covet given our selection of AJ and Groot. It just wouldn't shock me if they feel he has a first round grade. Hoping we don't see this as well and I'm a WMU grad. Quote
OldTimer1960 Posted April 22 Posted April 22 (edited) That would be grounds for firing Beane. I watched the one game that I could find for Kneeland and other than him being big, I saw nothing encouraging- and that was against Bowling Green and their overweight OT. Did the Bills hire Bill Belichick as GM when we were not looking? Edited April 22 by OldTimer1960 Quote

If they take this 5th rd DE you might as well pack it in. This team has no hope with this FO if that’s the case. Quote
