Just give me Chad Kelly and its a great draft for me.
Roderick Johnson and John Harvey Clemons would be great too
-
Yeah, that's a good idea... maybe they could sign Troy Vincent to a one day contract and take out Kelly's knee late in pre-season. Then we could kinda red-shirt him.
Lol he is already hurt. The Pats do this all the time. Players they want to develop come down with some crazy injuries.
-
I think he has a chance, like a 5-10% chance of being a solid NFL career. But 5-10% is probably bigger than a ton of late round draft picks in the last 20 years. Many of them have virtually no chance. He has all the tools. Most QBs drafted after the 3-4 don't.
The only way, however, imo it makes sense for the Bills is if he is undrafted. Which seems unlikely. We don't have a 7th. Maybe we take him with the 6th. But then we would have to say goodbye to Cardale in order to keep him, unless Cardale plays great in camp and preseason, Yates tanks, and Chad looks good in very limited reps and action. If he is drafted in the 5th round, and then cut, chances are some team will sign him as a 3. Not guaranteed at all but as a long shot development #3 he's probably as good a chance as a lot of others.
So, IMO, it would not be smart for the Bills to draft him unless they really like him. If no one drafts him then we can sign him as a UDFA and there is a decent chance he can be signed to PS.
Draft him and stash him on IR, then you don't have to cut Cardale until Kelly beats him out the following year.

Yea but he doesn't know the difference between a head stand and a handstand!! Kick him into guard!Really glad they got this one over the line. Spoke to Dion a few times since the Senior Bowl and I've been selling the Bills to him like a man possessed. Talking **** about Jordan Mills is my favourite pasttime anyway
One of my favourite players in the class and a ton of teams did want to kick him inside. Dude will be starting at RT before Week 17, I guarantee it. Fantastic pick.
Athletically, he's strong in key areas. Elite level 3-cone, above-average broad and 40 - https://www.mockdraftable.com/player/dion-dawkins?position=OT

I like this pick.
I also like that this is the first sign that we don't mind doing some homework and picking a player that may have had some "character issues." For those that don't know, Dion had an incident at a night club in 2015. Those things happen when you're a young guy.
I was worried that we needed our prospects to be perfect off the field. Glad to know that some sort of incident doesn't stop us from considerig a player.

No. I don't think they want to be bad, I just don't think they're going to be very good.
We have no depth. When we lose 5-6 starters like we do every year, we're going to have 5-6 gaping holes on the field.
I don't think we are going to be very good next year. But based on this draft, I think McD is drafting to compete right now. His CB and WR were very productive and experienced seniors. The OL was also a senior.
I would have used this year to rebuild, I don't think that is McD's plan. I'm not a huge fan of our strategy but it'll certainly be interesting to see the product this year.
-
We traded the 4th we got from our second trade?
It was reported incorrectly, we received a 5th. We don't pick again until the 5th.
-
Was hoping for Jordan Willis but we needed some OLineman.
Ritchie and Wood are getting old. Mills is bad. Good pick.
-
I could see us taking Jordan Willis. Another productive senior. I'd like that.
Dan Feeney and Fabian Moreau would both be solid too
-
Noooooo Zach!!!
-
I'm glad to hear that. I mean, it's basically a free pick.
He can sit behind Taylor. Eventually maybe finish what his uncle started.
He's definitely talented.
Def. he needs a year to let his body recover. Red shirt him this year behind Tyrod.
I think he is the best QB of the past two years. It would make this currently ok draft very hopeful for me.
-
I just want him on this team. I have ever since I first heard of him many years ago.
4's probably too early but I want it to happen
Me too bud, I'm on the 4th round squad with you.
-
Just a point on the Bills pick... here we are over 10 picks later and no other WR has gone..... so maybe that tells us that as far as the teams in the league are concerned there was more of a drop off from Zay Jones to the other 2nd round guys?
Panthers took WR at 40
-
Keep dropping Z.Cunningham, keep dropping
-
when is the next pick?
75
-
Carucci has been very off lately. Let's see what really happens.
-
1st...you have no idea. you just threw that number out there.
2nd...you threw that number out there, because i threw that out there an a random number that i felt was a lot.
you've watched tape. you should know.
Lol I think that guy is still trying to find the state of East Carolina on a map.
-
fair enough. i don't know woods's college production, but i can imagine it matches jones. i know it's not an even comparison, but i also don't completely understand why people are insisting on comparing him with woods. is it size, or just because he's filling that position?
I think it's just bc we are replacing what we lost in FA.
I fancy myself a draft fanatic so I'm disappointed we didn't grab some other players at 44 and 91. I also think we are going to lose a lot this year.
With the players we are drafting - very experienced, polished players (Jones is a great route runner) - I think Mc Dermitt is ready to win this year. So they're approaching the draft much different than I and a lot of fans would.
-
Or... Maybe Zay's the next Odell.
Let's hope!
-
as i mentioned, i really haven't seen him play live, but how is woods better overall? it's not like his production here was stellar, (and i understand that the qbs were a huge part of that). we likely don't know exactly who woods even is at this point in terms of a true wr.
I don't particularly think Woods was great but he was a pretty complete WR. Could run good routes to get separation, not an amazing athlete, a good and dedicated blocker (we will like how Jones blocks). That is exactly Jones' game. I think Woods is a little faster and a little more slippery and a little better blocker. Jones is a great hands catcher ala Colston.
I'm disappointed cuz I thought we could get a WR2 later and that's all Zay will be imo. I'm guessing Dennison is going to want to throw more than we did last year.
-
ok, so you don't know. i'm not saying i'm an expert at all, but i think it's pretty obvious that you're just reading snippets of draft reports, and are attempting to act like you know something.
explain...why is he a woods clone like you stated?
Unfortunately he is not a Woods clone. Woods is better overall, Jones has better hands. Jones is more like a smaller Marques Colston.
-
The Bills draft, and offseason, don't appear to make much sense.
Lose Gilmore - draft White in the 1st round
Lose Woods - draft Jones in the 2nd round
We're just spinning our tires.
I like White and it saves us money while we start our rebuild.
Jones is not a second round talent player, so disappointed about that. They're definitely interested in immediate contributors with two experienced and refined seniors. Problem with Jones is he is just a possession receiver.
-
So yesterday McDermott was in charge, today it's Whaley.
Depends who you are talking to. I haven't made those statements. I tend to go off of history... like the last 4 years.
-
Such a dumb trade.
When are we going to start valuing our draft picks?
Not until Whaley is gone. Sucks cuz there are so many better players. And that third would have been another good player.
Too many Left Tackles on the team?

We have one good LT on our team....And one that was just found half naked in a field.
