Rd 2, Pick 60: DB Cole Bishop, Utah

[Buffalo03]

Time for the yearly 3rd round "who the f*ck is this guy" pick

[Ralonzo]

It's a good value-meets-need pick. No complaint if he starts and earns a 2nd contract. Seems like a process guy.

Pretty sure we’ll be drafting another wr 

Bet we get 2.

I like the pick, though I only read up on him & never saw him in college.

 

There's not going to be any Elam-like excuses that he played the wrong scheme in college or can't figure out 2 high safety looks right? 😅

Why did the general draft thread get locked? Because someone incorrectly tipped the Bills pick?

Snark aside, 66 overall on the Draftek rankings. I trust Rapp to be a heat seeking missile if we have a center fielder 

[DJB]

Solid box safety to replace Po. Plays physical with heart and toughness and willing to get his nose dirty

Does he replace Rapp or Edwards?

 

I presume more Rapp. He is more a box and matchup guy. I think he will do what Poyer did last year. Be the starting box safety and then play the dime when they go to the 6 DB look and let Rapp come in and play the box.

Man this guy just seems like he will be our new Hyde/Poyer right out of the gate, just really instinctive.

WR is NOT filled.

 

Beane wasn't double-dipping.  He may pick a WR at #95 though.

Beane not taking offense seriously enough

They signed Two Offensive Lineman, Samuels, hollins and Ty Johnson in free agency.  They just drafted keon coleman and have 9 picks left.

 

how are they not addressing the offense?

Can he play receiver?

As good as the ones on our roster? Yes.  We still have an available spot for anyone who can catch a football 🤣🤣🤣

[NewEra]

Watched every Ute game this year.  He’s a beast.  Definite McD type.  Insane tackler with great pop.  Solid in man coverage. I’ll love watching him smack and make plays in the backfield.

 

I just don’t think hes a good fit playing opposite Rapp.  
 

short arms too

[SCBills]

Does Rapp go back to the 3rd Safety spot now or Edwards?

 

Dont know much about Cole Bishop, but looks like a guy who can be a pillar of our defense based on what I’m reading/seeing about him in our system.

Nice pick solidifies a need moves Rapp to the primary backup and role player spot. Would have preferred IOL or WR but not at all dissatisfied with grabbing a safety and solidifying the defense 

Who is the other Safety?

 

Nevermind forgot about Edwards

Why did the Bills do all that work on Franklin and then not take him?

Smoke and mirrors.

Meh. He might be a good player and he'll probably start from day one, and that's fine, but it's just a safety. Feels much more like a need pick than a value pick. Troy Franklin and a bunch of 2nd round caliber OL were still on the board. I don't hate the pick I'm just underwhelmed.

 

I hope we trade up in the 3rd round. Too many day three picks. Get a legit offensive player in the top 80.

 

Someone needs to lace Beanes coffee with cocaine next year.  This has been the most melancholy draft I can remember.  Accumulating day 3 picks to fill out the roster with special teamers.  He had plenty of ammo to move around in round 2 but hasn't.
