TSW 2.0 Poll - What should the Bills do at #30

[nosejob]

I am all for getting a 3rd round pick but not trading back to do it. It's time to pluck a pick from next year. A couple of late picks plus 26 2nd?

I would prefer using pick 29-32 next year to move up from 62 and gain a 3rd. It sure looks like Cook will walk next year, so...

 

I voted Grant. Fully use every pick from 30 to 132.

Kenneth Grant would be exactly what the Bills need on their DL. 

[JohnBonhamRocks]

Voted Grant. Trade back to 34 was tough to pass up. May have voted Revel if he were an option. Amos too.

[Virgil]

Revel Jr has been added.  He was graded mid 2nd round on ESPN and CBS, most likely due to injury, which is why I did not have him on the poll.  Thomas and Morrison were rated higher.  Amos was rated the same as Revel, but he's not being added since we drafted him last time.  

 

Feel free to adjust your votes if you want

I voted Grant, because I think if he or Harmon are there at 30, you probably take one of those guys. However, I really don’t think the Bills will do that. They will take a corner. The chances of there being a corner in the second round at our pick are probably slim imo, whereas there are a bunch of really good defensive tackles still on the board who may be there in that range. But I am very interested and curious to see how it all plays out with this exercise. 
 

You are banking on one of Amos, Revel, Morrison, and Thomas somehow making 26 more picks and I just think it’s highly unlikely. JMO. I suppose you can trade up from 56 into the 40s. Porter could possibly be there but I think he will go higher than projected. But when you take Grant here you have to be ok settling for Dorian Strong or Zy Alexander or Dane Jackson starting corner and I am not sure I am there.

IMO the first pick has to start day 1. I do not want someone that is going to rehab through the summer and I really don't want someone with an injury history.

With someone like Jahdae Barron maybe but I'd really hate to base a pick on 2023 like these other guys...although I'd pick Porter hopefully at 62.

This vote seems pretty decisive.

Yea, I’m the guy with the trade offer at 27 and I’m irritated about it lol but I don’t think I’m catching the Grant train. I don’t think I’m getting 40 votes in the next 7 hours to win. Might as well call it a day to keep this moving 

[frostbitmic]

I'd happily phone the pick in for Grant ... Watch him come out and bear hug the life outta uncle Roger while wearing a Bills hat.

I’m going to update the poll soon.  If it doesn’t get closer, I will call it early

Grant is the obvious choice imo.  
If he weren’t on the board, I would be good with the trade down.

Grant Harmon and Nolen would all have to be gone for me to trade back. I could see them taking Scourton in that case, however trading to 36 with the Jags for pick 70 would be ok. They also have 88. Probably have to throw in a couple back, but if all the Dline picks are gone, I would do this instead of a corner at 30.

 

Not too much of a gap and a premium 3rd.  I guess I wouldn't complain with Starks or Emmanwori, but they'd have to be able to start week one.

For what this regime looks for I agree he is the most obvious choice. The reason I don't want him in the 1st round is I don't think he offers enough as a pass rusher. I recognize that he has the athletic upside to develop that part of his game more, but in this class I would rather just take a player that I know can cover or rush the passer.

I agree. I actually think Nolen will make an immediate impact. I think he could be more of a Chris Jones than the other 2. On OBL yesterday they were talking about not worrying about 1T, get the guys that are versatile and can rush. I agree with that. To me it's nothing more than a difference of 10-20 lbs.

Brought the poll down to four.  I left Revel Jr on since he was a later ad.  I'm setting the poll to end at 2p EST.

Grant is overrated imo. Trade down and you can get a better DT later.

[racketmaster]

I’d like to get Landon Jackson. Very similar to Maxx Crosby, so find a way to draft that guy whether staying at 30 or move down a few spots.

I agree with this. I don’t think Grant goes in the first round to be honest. Gonna be a lot of Bills fans angry when he’s there at 30 and they draft CB or someone like Landon Jackson instead

This would be exactly how it goes

[Bob in STL]

1.  Don't trade with KC

2.  Take BPA on defense - DT, DE, or CB
