Should have traded down if that was a possibility. I hope Kincaid can block.

Initial reaction is...does Dorsey know how to use him?
The only thing I didn't like was that Beane panicked and gave away a 4th.

The Bills do not draft a WR in rounds 1-3.
They get a DT, LB, and OT with their first 3 picks (in no particular order).
-
Yes...I would not look at Jones in the first two rounds. Still, we need a RT somewhere, and most are not clamoring that it be Spencer Brown!
-
Will be busy with kids activities and then getting them ready for bed.
Will start paying attention around pick 20. Prefer a trade down in most scenarios though.

A starting #2 WR
A starting Right Tackle
A Starting Linebacker
Does not matter to me if we trade up, trade down, or trade a surplus player, let's get these three positions solidified.
-
Like others have said, his weight, his size, and enough comments about his possible less than ideal work ethic would make me hesitant to consider him in Round 1.
Besides, didn't we already have a guy named Jones a few years ago that was really big and played QB at Ohio State that didn't pan out?
Are there any perennial all-pro or pro bowl players that were 360lb Right Tackles?
I'm guessing probably none.
-
I thought Aaron Curry was going to be the best in his draft class. I expected he would have a 10+ year career with some pro bowls appearances and all-pro selections.

For me in no particular player order:
If Darnell Wright, JSN of Ohio State, Bijan Robinson (the only 1st round quality back), or Jack Campbell are all not there, trade down!
If the Bills happen to have a top 15-20 player on their board that is not one of these guys, I will roll with that, but I would expect that player to be a starter in a position generally viewed as less of a hole/need.
What would make you want to trade down? Who's off the board for ya at #27 where you want a trade down?

Running to the Podium in 1st
JSN
What I Really Want for WR/Draft
Mike Evans: Big, strong, deep threat, proven, gets 50/50 balls. For a 2nd and 5th
Trade Out of 1st. Get another pick and get the RT, LB, and Massive DT we need in this draft.
Possibly Trading Up in 2nd, But Not Sold on It Unless this is Buffalo's #2 or #3 receiver on their board. Even then...
Johnston and Addison
WR I Like But Not Sure Why

WR's I Don't Like
Hyatt, Downs, Dell

What is it about Dell that has everyone excited about him?
He’s like 5’6 with cleats on and 165 lbs after Thanksgiving dinner.
We do not need to waste any draft pick on a #6 or #7 receiver when we have Harty, Sherfield, and Hines to handle our PR/KR and speedy gadget role.
Trade up or down is fine, but we need 3 quality starters out of this draft and preferably they come at some of the following positions: RT, WR, LB, DE

Don't forget FA pickup Edwards on the offensive line. Methinks he will be the RT over Brown. And, although OL appears to be less of a need, another OL may be drafted.
-
Might as well learn and use the compensatory pick system. We are going to need as many cheap backups and contributing rookies as possible over the next couple of years.
Hopefully the ability to land more picks, evaluate and draft well, and then “coaching up” will be stronger too.
-
Damien Harris so far.
I can always hope it is Bobby Wagner and Isaac Seamulo.
Bates and Boettger are serviceable backups to me.
Besides Milano, every Bills linebacker is at best a backup and/or limited to a few special teams packages

I want a proven commodity as our Mike/2nd linebacker.
Give me a player with a ring. A player that has earned All Pro honors and anchored a great defense with a veteran poise and consistent presence.
That name is...Bobby Wagner

You raise a good point that the general consensus on this Board was the Bills were a top 2-3 team.
I think the panic is as follows:
1. We have had a good defense but when it mattered in our last two playoff exits, defense did not matter.
2. The Bills have really been a one trick pony on offense. This is the blessing and curse of Josh Allen. He is our best RB, masks most of our offensive line problems, and he and Diggs are the only two consistent threats on offense.
3. McDermott and Beane are so invested in continuity that they get in their own way at times. This is why I and some others on this board are wondering why there seems to be less urgency on the fact we have a very green OC, no true #2 receiver, and a very average offensive line when we are so close to a Super Bowl.
4. The Chiefs and Bengals stand in the way. The AFC East teams appear to all be on the rise too. NOW, is the time to win the Championship.

Restructure Dawkins and Taron Johnson. And, trade Oliver for a mid-round pick (I laugh when people on this board say we can get a 2nd round pick for him.)

Strong pass blocker but average guard overall.

Resign Special Teams/Cheap Backup Process Guys: Check
Resign Poyer: Surprising Check
Sign an average OL: Check
Sign a cheap backup QB: Check
To Sign List
Bobby Wagner, LB
Trade for Jeudy or M Evans
Wish List
Seamulo or Risner
For me, A successful free agency has to include at least one of the 5 players mentioned from the To Sign or Wish List to get the 2nd receiver, a stronger OL, or a MLB before the draft.

I am sorry if my reference of being all-in was viewed from the term in poker that you bet everything.
I just believe the Bills are being a little too conservative and need to be more aggressive in their strategy through free agency, drafting, and coaching now that they have shown their a playoff caliber team.
For example, safeties Epps and Ward were signed at like 6 million a year. I want Buffalo jumping in on a player like that if we are not resigning Poyer.
I know the Bills cover their draft picks, but with some money restructures, get a proven guard or a proven WR. I am willing for the Bills to trade a 2nd and say a 5th for Mike Evans because the Bills may not have a better window like this again. Yes, Josh makes it possible to be competitive each year, but Marino never got back. Elway only got there because he had all pros around him that carried him.
I want to know that McDermott and Beane are looking at OC and DC that aren't just rookie OC's or pals from the Panthers. I want Lavonte David or Wagner as a leader that keeps the defense competitive. And, if the Bills need to restructure some, give up a pick, or take a more aggressive call on a free agent, go for it.
I would rather the Bills win 1 championship and miss the next 4 years of the playoffs than win 7 more division titles only to fall short because our coaching, online, 2nd WR, or our investments in free agency and draft were not as diversified.
All-in for me means being a little more adaptable, flexible, and a willingness to change the approach a bit to at least summit the mountain once rather than being in the bridal party each year.
Bills will look a lot different in next 2-3 years. The window on what I will call Josh Allen Part I is almost closed and it's a really good window.
-
More restuctures, please to Morse, Taron Johnson, Dion Dawkins, etc.
-
Not bad for a team's #4-#5 corner. Just needs to turn around even when he gets beat on a pass.
Now, find that safety to partner withh Hyde in FA

Day 2 Bills Draft Targets ?
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
Bergeron, Dexter, or Drew Sanders. I love Steve Avila and like Branch and Joey Porter Jr, but these three guys will likely be gone by pick #50
