I think they have three viable options there that will be better next year and spending a high pick at that position two years in a row is poor resource management, imo.

If the Bills have a 1st round grade on Starks or Emmanowari on top of their board they should take either regardless.

Do we really need the player interviews?

 

"How do you feel?"

 

"Great, I'm excited and ready to go."

 

30X over and over again.

No doubt. I’m praying for one of them to be like “WTF, there’s no way I’m playing for that sh1t organization”. Now that would get me up in my chair!

interesting. I do have a feeling some team might be desperate to trade back into the first round for one of these scrub QBs.

A huge benefit of a first round QB is you get the 5th year option. If you think a QB is a project but can be your starter in a couple years I think it still makes sense.

Sooooo all these teams aren’t going DT/DT

 

Bills must go DB/DT, or make a trade. 

 

Would it be SO BAD to make a splash move and take Golden? He keeps slipping. Some consider best WR in the draft after Hunter. And Beane has been saying we need a field stretcher for years.

If I wait up and it's Malachi Starks all my furniture will be tossed onto the lawn (probably just 1 chair) .

Not sure i love how the board is falling here.  Might need to go DB or trade down.  Still a few good DL options - but starting to get limited. 

Our secondary is terrible. A CB or S would be a fine pick. In that sense the draft has gone well (until there is a run on secondary).

The Bucs met with almost all the first round CBs and had a bunch of them in for 30 visits wouldn’t surprise me if you see the first off the board here 

 

Honestly kinda hoping it's the Michigan kid Will Johnson. Think he'll be a good pro but the limited athleticism bugs me, there's a Kirby Jackson vibe

[Thrivefourfive]

This “scene”, Rich, looks completely miserable. Like seriously. Is anyone even alive outside of the perfect square of human bodies between the stadium, stage, and lame eateries/bars. 

[Bray Wyatt]

Gotta be a lb here right? Campbell?

Take this FWIW & dont shoot the messenger...I was reluctant to share given how unpredictable this draft could be, but had multiple people I trust tell me a guy to watch for the Bills is Malaki Starks in the past 24 hours, depending on how the board fell.  

 

 

I could see it. I've been saying for a while if he's there I don't see us passing on him. He is a clean character and scheme fit. I just don't see safety as a need or a premium position so I'd be a bit underwhelmed.

I don’t trust Beane to make the right decisions, especially since he hinted that the trenches were not his strong suit…

we’ll trade back and get Jackson. KC will take Amos 31 and he will dominate.

Missed that I said or make a trade

With a starting secondary of Benford, White (currently), Johnson, Hamlin, and Rapp if you asked where we could upgrade pass coverage the most it would be Hamlin or Rapp and Starks would do it.  Starks is certainly on the list of picks I would be happy with.

Rushing the passer is the answer not another safety.  But I agree Hamlin and Rapp could easily be replaced.  If Bishop can't start over one of these two he will be a bust.  

[Roundybout]

That is a bizarre pick for Tampa IMO. They needed LB help and Campbell was a good fit I thought. 

[CNYfan]

That is ok
