I still think Nix is going to bring in a guard either off the waiver wire or a current free agent. It seems like we need at least another body along the O-line.

I don't think its an O-Line Heavy draft because there were so many great O-linemen. I think it was more so that it was a good draft for O-lineman and a terrible draft for QB's and other positions which vaulted a lot of O-lineman up the board. I would have liked for them to take a flyer on a Guard in the 5th but I guess they will scour the waiver wire and free agents for a guard. Brandon Moore is still out there wouldn't be a bad stop gap.

A lot of "experts" who say we over reached for EJ saying that he would have been there in the late 2nd or early 3rd or even in the 3rd or 4th (like McShay Who had EJ as he 6th rated QB) were over blowing it to cover up their horrendous prognostications and bad draft boards. I think we still could have traded back to the 20-25 range and maybe picked up another 3rd and 5th or 6th and still gotten EJ. I think there were a lot of teams that were looking to trade back into the late 1st to take EJ.

If 40 times determined success then the Oakland Raiders would be a lot more successful than the have been the past few seasons. Just saying simply having fast guys doesn't equate to success.

I like describing him as simply a DB, this defense is very interesting can't wait to see how it comes together.

We had a lot of holes on this roster and realistically outside of picks in the first 3 or 4 rounds we aren't going to be able fill holes with draft picks realistically. I thought TE and Guard were the needs largely ignored by Nix and company. Chandler and Urbik were pulled off the waiver wire. Maybe Nix feels like the can get guys off waivers or that are still on the market for cheap. Have to think that TE just isn't high up on the list for Nix for whatever reason.

Best draft ever? It could be if EJ pans out but its a risky draft for sure. I like the WR's and MLB that we picked up in the 2nd and 3rd rounds but it all depends on how they pan out.

Good pick Bills have needed a kicker for a least a couple of seasons now, Lindell use to be a guy who was excellent inside 40, very reliable 41-46, and able to make a field goal 47-52 a decent amount of the time. His range topped out in the early 50's. But now anything in the mid 40's is dicey and its almost impossible for the guy to hit 50. Having an accurate kicker who tops out at 50 yards is not a bad thing but Lindell is no longer that guy.

I liked David Nelson... but we went from completely devoid talent outside of Stevie to having a lot potential there. Overall I still think it could be rough at WR but its good that the Bills tried to address this position. TJ could also have a better impact in his second year too. Hopefully putting two high picks and taking a chance on a high potential UDFA pays off.

Love this pickup as a UDFA, low risk high reward and exactly the type of receiver we need big and fast.To burn a pick on such a volatile guy would have been a mistake but the talent is too enticing too not take a flyer on. Even with Goodwin and Woods we still need some depth and talent at WR and we really could use a big body. The worst case scenario is we cut the guy, best case is we get some talent at a position we need help with.

Wish they thought about going with a guard or tightend here but its a 5th rounder can't complain too much probably going to want him to play special teams, maybe they aren't high on Searcy.

Say what you will about this draft but the Bills with their 1st 4 picks really targeted the key positions that were lacking on the roster. Team desperately needed a QB, MLB, and some WR's they got them (Wither or not they are any good remains to be seen). Good to see them add a good talent at WR in the UDFA process guy has talent that should have been drafted a lot higher

I don't hate the pick. Big arm, mobile, healthy, and some of his flaws might be coachable. My major concern is his accuracy is described as above average but not great but not great and his mechanics need some work. I keep hearing that mechanics are coachable but in recent years few QB's have been able to change mechanics. Throw in that his accuracy might be a concern and I am officially wait and see on this guy. I would have loved this pick had the Bills been able to trade down just a few more picks. Trade down to the early to mid 20's pick up a extra 2nd or 3rd and another late rounder and it would have helped this team a lot. Still loved the original trade down.

My only issue with taking EJ was we could have made one more trade down and still got EJ. If you felt like there was going to be a huge run on QB's come the beginning of round 2 you could have easily traded back to the early to mid 20's and gotten EJ. adding another 2nd or 3rd plus picking EJ would have been a coup. Having 3 2nd rounders or 2nd's and 2 3rd's plus another 6th would have been excellent. The EJ pick is going to make the Bills look like morons or secret geniuses. Just glad we made the initial trade down. Two somewhat early seconds and a third should help fill some holes on this roster. Still would have been nice to add a couple of more picks before taking EJ.

Pretty much also what method would you have college players enter the league? You would run into the problem the league had before the rookie pay scale. The top 40-50 college players would demand huge salaries without having to play a down and it throw off the competitive balance of the league. I don't see the draft as broken, I see it more so as being less effective because the talent pool is much deeper.

I think it is counted, remember that's an estimate so I think the cap number would factor that in.

Here is the only scenario I can see us taking a guard.is if we make a couple of trade downs. A guard like Cooper or Warmack at pick 25ish while picking up an extra 2nd and 3rd. So many needs a rock at guard would be nice but far too many pressing needs to spend a high pick on one esp when Buddy has proven to be able to find guards later in the draft.

I would much rather have Nassib in round two Barkley seems soft

Would be a guy worth taking at 8, imagine having him and Mario Williams lining up at OLB,

Sounds like it could be a nice little signing. Nothing Earth shattering but these are the signings that really round out a roster.

People have to stop thinking that the Vikings are going to trade both 1st to trade up. The more likely trade down with the Vikings would be 23 this year, 52 this year, their 6th, and a 3rd next year (they have an extra one form the Seahawks next year). That's 15 spots for a 2nd, 6th, and a 3rd next year. Seems much more plausible than 2 firsts.

I would be all for it, the Bills have so many needs would say their 1st this year (Duh) 1st next year, 2nd this year, and a 5th this year and they can trade up from 30 to 8. I would love for the Bills to trade down to 13 and get an extra 3rd and 6th from Tampa and then trade down with the Falcons for their 1st this and next year plus a third. I know its highly unlikely the Bills could get the 30th, 60th, and 77th picks plus a 1st next year and have 5 picks in the first 77 this year plus net additional late rounders and a 1st in their back pocket next year. But its pre draft so why not dream?

Makes sense I guess, guy didn't seem to be cutting it as a corner and we need a SS. With Gilmore the number one, McKelvin at the slot, and Brooks at the dime maybe they see something with Justin Rodgers.

Well its only two picks their 3rd and 5th to move from 13th to 8th. I think its reasonable although I think it would more likely be a 6th instead of a 5th. But a 3rd and a 6th for 5 spots not a bad trade if there is a guy Tampa really wants.

No way the Vikings give up a first to move up 10 spots maybe they give you their second at best. Trade down with Tampa is reasonable thought
