  1. They pick the players. Beane likes players that don't fit our current offensive scheme.

     

    Actually I did.

    With Dennison as OC our new offensive scheme will be WCO based. This will need bigger WRs that can run precise routes and move the chains. Also it counts on multi threat RB (remember Ricky Watters with the 49ers?) and TEs that can catch and FBs that can block/catch. The only thing we might lack is a zone blocking offensive line. I don't see us needing to make big changes for the offense to work except more depth at TE.

  2. NFL.com 7 round mock draft

     

    Buffalo Bills

    Round 1 (10) Marlon Humphrey, CB, Alabama

    Round 2 (44) JuJu Smith-Schuster, WR, USC

    Round 3 (75) Tim Williams, OLB, Alabama

    Round 5 (156) Dan Skipper, T, Arkansas

    Round 5 (163) Jeremy McNichols, RB, Boise State

    Round 6 (171) Eddie Jackson, S, Alabama

    Round 6 (195) Chad Kelly, QB, Ole Miss

    I have to say, I don't hate it.

    What happened to our third 5th Rounder?

    but TE is not really a hole....compared to others

    Our depth at TE is horrible. Nick O'leary at best is a third TE but as of today he'd be our primary backup.

  3. PIZ posted this Tweet from Joe B in the shoutbox: "ole draft day..extended version 22 Qs. Why 22? Because I love that number"

     

    His thinking is that Joe B might be dropping hints that they'd consider trading all the way down from 10 to 22. If they do that, the'd better get a substantial haul of picks in return - like an extra 2nd and 3rd this year and a pick next year.

    Trade down with the Dolphins? Eeesh.

  4. ...has the Bills taking 'Bama LB Reuben Foster at #10. Here's his quote:

     

    Buffalo could go in a lot of directions here, including QB, but Foster's tape is so good that it reminds me of Luke Kuechly's. There are off-field concerns with Foster, but his tape is awesome.

     

    Thoughts?

    Whaley is good at finding LBs, I think taking one in Round 1 is foolish. Case in point in Round 2 we could likely get a Tyus Bowser who has a great deal of zone coverage experience and been a productive pass rusher the last two years and has good size/speed numbers. Personally I want one of the top two Safeties or Mike Williams or OJ Howard in Round 1 if we stay at #10.

     

    The Bills don't have any 3 down linebackers.

     

    That's a big problem in today's NFL.

    Preston Brown was a 3 down LB in Schwartz's scheme. Also McDermott plays a large percentage of nickel based defense so we only really need two LBs.

  5. Jones is the only one I like in this mock. Reddick might be a three down LB but to me we can find a speedy LB anywhere in the draft. Dobbs is an athletically gifted QB but isn't a great passer and that's why most have him as a 6th or 7th Round pick.

  6. A pundit/draftnik was on a show earlier today. When asked about what player may drop (dramatically) he mentioned Davis, but, didn't go into any details. Anyone hear anything about him that might have led to the comment? Simple small school bias?

    Small school bias, he didn't do any offseason workouts. there are a few reasons he might "fall" yet still think he's in the top 2 WR discussion. I admit I favor Williams as he think gives us the Dez Bryant/Vincent Jackson type we've been looking for what seems like ages.
