Should we eliminate Amos and Grant since they won the last first two drafts? 

[RyanC883]

I was a huge Grant guy, but I'd go Amos here.  Seems the most complete CB left, and CB begins to drop off big time after Rd. 1.  A lot of DTs who could come in and make an instant impact in Rd. 2 and later (Collins, CJ West, etc).

I decided to keep them on here, since it's a different draft position we are in now.  I figured this will be our best overall poll to show who people really overall want, since most of the main targets are on the board.

I very much think the pick is Amos here in real life, but I think Grant and Harmon are very tempting, and they could be lying in the weeds on the safety.

I get the need at DB, but I also think in our defensive system, that we can get someone in later rounds, or even FA still.

 

The glaring need at DT to shore up the defensive line has plagued us for the past few years, and we could become dominant with the right run stuffing DT with pass rush ability.

 

With that being said, I voted for S - Nick Emmanwori, South Carolina.  I just really think he could be huge in our defense.  His ability to play S and LB, with our injury concerns and the nickel we play...could just be a major impact player.

totally agree.  Given the role safety plays in the McD D, I could see it here.  Would think Starks is likely over Amos, but otherwise see the Bills potentially trading into Rd. 3 to get a safety then (Winston Jr, Ransom, Bowman, Sanker).

don't disagree with this.  It's also why I think we draft Kiser at LB, (coverage type LB).  So many ways they can go in this draft.

Voted Egbuka. High on him as a prospect. Would hope we go CB/DT in Round 2 and trade up again if need be.

[Alphadawg7]

With this pool of choices...I would list Amos as the slight betting favorite to be the Bills pick.  Obviously it comes down to how the Bills grades are on these guys, but Amos just seems to fit what they want at CB.  That being said, if they do go CB here, it wouldn't surprise me at all to see them take Hairston either given Beane recent move to more physical players.  

 

Still can't discount some of the other guys here, just I still think CB feels the most probable at 30 based on their draft visits.  Personally, I think I would go DT then try and move up from 56 and land a CB using some of the extra day 3 ammo we have.

I'm with you on Emmanwori. I voted for him as well. 

 

With the way we rotate on the DLine, I think we have options outside of rnd 1. Sure, it'd be nice to have Grant here but, Nick would/could be in from the start and every D play.

 

As to CB, they just brought Trey back, so I think he's going to hold the 2 spot (at least for the start). Maybe grab Porter in the 2nd or a later rnd DB.

  Rousseau ... Grant ... Oliver ... Bosa

 

Yes please

[GunnerBill]

I still think Amos and Hariston are the two most likely picks there. Who would I pick? James Pearce. 

[nosejob]

I gotta go with the day 1 starter. Harmon  He was a junior, he's from Detroit so good to go with Buffalo and has been referred to as a young but bigger Cam Hayward.

Will probably be 3 down starter who can play up and down and pass rush will just get better. One problem checked off.

 

[HappyDays]

I think if we're trading up it's for Harmon. One of Amos and Hairston are likely to still be there at #30. I can see the logic for Grant but this regime doesn't like 1Ts that are just fat run stuffers, so I really don't think Beane would trade up for one. Harmon is a true 1st round talent that is only sliding because of medical flags and it is seemingly a short term shoulder injury, not something that will risk his career longevity. Harmon fits the profile of 1T they look for - arm length and can penetrate. He's a legit top 20 prospect that we wouldn't normally have a chance to draft.

I did the same.

[frostbitmic]

I think Pearce and Emmanwori are the two BPAs

I want them to pick Grant ... At 345 he'll fill a hole and command two blockers, freeing up Oliver and whichever DE he's next to.

I'm guessing they'll take Amos ... We need a CB to line up opposite Benford ... Unless they think Tre' can start.

 

That means they'll take Booker, the Guard from Bama.

Agreed. Voted Harmon for very same reasons. Unless something crazy happens one of Amos/Hairston will be there at 30 so no reason to trade up for them.

Grant or Harmon.  I don't care which.  Their DL got shoved all over the field most of last year and that's something that can't continue.  There's a good argument for a CB here as well,  but I have more confidence in the FO finding a good CB on day 2 than I do for a 1T.

I would also make this trade for Nolen if the other 2 are gone. Too many accolades to mention including finalist for Outland trophy award. (nation's top lineman.)

Oozes the interior pass rush and past production Beane wants.

Amos, the pool of DT is deeper than CBs. So take the best CB and take best available DT later.
