What Buffalo Bills draft choice surprised you the most on draft day?
947 replied to JohnNord's topic in The Stadium Wall
Maybin I knew he was a bust in waiting, like everyone else. I didn't think anyone would take him in round 1, let alone us. -
Enjoy your 63 catches for 947 yards 4 TDs, Odell.

Name 2 players the Buffalo Bills will select in the 2023 NFL Draft
947 replied to HOUSE's topic in The Stadium Wall
Zack Kuntz- TE Jack Campbell😱 -
Give me Campbell or give me Death! I'm even OK with him at #27, as long as we go OL/WR with the next 2.

TEs almost never contribute much as a rookie, most take 2-3 seasons. A first round TE pick is usually one of 2 things: a luxury pick for a contending team that doesn't have other glaring needs, or a lower level team that's is 1-2 years away from playoff contention & can endure TE growing pains. We are in the middle of our championship window & have too many immediate needs for our first rounder to be only used in sub-packages.

ESPN latest mock has us getting a RB but not the one you think
947 replied to PrimeTime101's topic in The Stadium Wall
If this happened, there'd be an angry mob at 1 Bills Dr with pitchforks & torches. Beane would have to be airlifted out by helicopter. -
If Hopkins not available, then what? We DO need another good WR!
947 replied to Deadstroke's topic in The Stadium Wall
Golladay has lost way more than a step since his last good season in 2019. He also lost any semblance of hands he once had. He was benched for Hodgins last year, and his only game with significant playing time (100% of snaps) was the Giants' Week 17 game in which they sat their starters. That tells you all you need to know. -
In Rapp's 3 full seasons, he has averaged 95 tackles & 3 INTs. Wow!

Scouting Report Daiyan Henley ILB rounds 2-3
947 replied to PrimeTime101's topic in The Stadium Wall
Henley looks like an exact clone of Terrel Bernard. Watch their highlights, it's like you're watching the same player. Same size too. This doesn't look like a round 2-3 player to me. Late round pick, sure. -
Great breakdown of McGovern and Harty (The Athletic; paywalled)
947 replied to dave mcbride's topic in The Stadium Wall
There's a lot of breakdown & individual play analysis, but here's their conclusions: So, what are the Bills getting in McGovern? It really depends on what they ask him to do, but he seems to be a nice fit into the Bills’ blocking scheme that requires more movement ability out of their front five. McGovern could struggle a bit if they swing to a more power-based run game with Damien Harris. But as a pass blocker, which is what the Bills ask their offensive linemen to do more often than not, they are getting a good player. McGovern looks like an average to slightly above-average starting guard in the Bills’ scheme and a significant upgrade over Rodger Saffold at left guard if McGovern’s 2022 tape holds up. So, what are the Bills getting in Harty? Beane said they looked at Harty to fill their WR4 role and everything Harty showed on film in 2021 indicates a chess-piece player from multiple spots of the offense with the potential to make game-changing plays at any moment. His overall speed on one side can attract attention away from Stefon Diggs, and if it doesn’t, they have a potential one-on-one matchup with what is likely the fastest player on the field. The Bills also have had a lot of trouble with quick screens over the years, but Harty allows them to do slower-developing screens to him, allowing the blockers to get out ahead of him and the speed to erase that gap in time lost. Additionally, Harty has the potential to be a menace during Josh Allen’s many improvisational plays, with defenders losing track of him deep enough to take the top off the defense. He should play at least 25 to 40 percent of snaps each week and is a clear upgrade over Isaiah McKenzie.- 18 replies

Draft Prospects with Private Meetings with the Bills
947 replied to MAJBobby's topic in The Stadium Wall
I heard Jim's Steakout -
Having 3 starting caliber Guards protects against any issue with Morse. If he gets a concussion, Bates is the new Center & we still have 2 capable OGs who are both big upgrades from Saffold in pass-protection..
-
Well Beane did have a gaping hole at CB going into last year's draft. And I think we all expect he'll have one at MLB this year. But at least it's only 1 major hole, and I think Q is a solid backup. I hope it doesn't prevent us from drafting more than 1 OL.
-
It's extremely rare that a rookie TE makes a significant contribution in year 1, it's one of the hardest learning curves among all positions. I don't expect Beane to draft a TE in rounds 1-2. It'll probably be OL in the 1st, but I'm not sure if O'Cyrus Torrence is a fit, he's more of a road-grading run blocker. I could see McBeane taking an OL with flexibility to play OG or OT. If we don't sign Bobby Wagner, I think they'll probably trade down from #27 & take Jack Campbell somewhere in the 30s.

Building an Entire Draft Board:Offensive Guard Rankings
947 replied to Chaos's topic in The Stadium Wall
I like Vorhees, would be a steal in the 5th. If not injured, he'd likely be picked around our 2nd rounder. -
A 260lb LB? I see that his shuttle is in the 9th percentile. That shows his change of direction is very slow despite being really "straight line" fast, that's definitely due to his size. LBs need to be fast changing directions, in coverage and everything else they do. I agree with the others that he's probably an Edge prospect, not a LB.
-
I'd be OK with Fournette, but not with paying for what he's done in the past. He's not that player anymore, he's currently a $2-3M/year RB in this market.
-
I like it, but they'd have to trade down out of the 1st round to do it. Campbell isn't making it to pick #59. We'd need to get in the first 10 picks of the 2nd.
-
I thought Bernard had promise, but then I saw the 1 game he started. He was so bad that didn't look like he belonged on an NFL field, I don't think he played another snap all year after that. Aside from the fumble return TD in preseason, I didn't see any of the speed that was talked about. He looked no faster than AJ Klein in coverage, and he appeared to be about the same size as James Cook. He needs another 10-20lbs, hopefully that's what he's working on. I'm still hopeful for him in the future, but there's no way McBeane trust him to be a regular this year.

All-in is what the 2021 Rams did. It worked, but they'll be paying the price for most of a decade. We just need to add a couple pieces to reload, and we'll still be in the title contender mix beyond this year.
