Josh Malone in 3rd is a better player than Zay. Malone is 6'3 220 with 4.4 speed.
This. Zay tested well too but he is a downgrade from Robert Woods in most ways. He does catch the ball better tho.
Use our second pick on a defender.
-
Very good chance we move up today to select; Zay Jones. WR Eastern Carolina
Imo
Hope someone else takes him first then
-
But he's slow. That was the question, right?
Haha good point, his lack of speed will make up for his inability to tackle
-
I like Mahomes as a prospect and was disappointed the Bills didn't go after him to be a franchise QB. But I think Chad Kelly is better so I still have hope.
If I was the Chiefs tho, I wouldn't be laughing. QBs are risky and have a high failure rate and he probably won't help them next year.
Next year, we can expect the Raiders to be better. The Broncos may be better if Paxton Lynch is decent. The Chiefs could be looking at a 3rd place finish in their division. That is a bottom 15 pick.
-
Teez Tabor?
Tabor doesn't want to tackle. Don't think he'd survive as a safety
-
I'd love McDowell actually. He is the best player left on my board. Not an obvious "need" maybe but a hell of a player with a massive ceiling.
I agree. As Bills fns we have had it pretty good on the DLine for several years but we forget that our line is getting old.
We drafted Dareus in 2011 and then didn't draft another DLineman - at any point in the drfts - until Shaq last year. Additionally, McD said its important for him to have DLineman who run and flow to the ball. Malik is a monster that you deploy across the line. Would really enjoy that pick but he may go very early.
-
Did White visit OBD btw ?
Did Atlanta have inside agent info that Bills wanted McKinley ?
Interesting thought, I assumed it was to beat the Cowboys to the punch
-
Malik McDowell. Zach Cunningham.
-
50% of the NFL has character issues
Need character guys instead of ballers. I guess we'll see how that goes.
God I hope McD isn't another Jauron...
It's so hard to get talented players, it's not smart to take yourself out of the running of many of them if it is small issues. Domestic abuse, ok remove them. Smoking some bud and getting mad and yelling at a nurse, c'mon.
-
He will probably be a day 1 starter for us. I have no problem with the player.
I just honestly think that the Bills aren't good at the business of football, not bad at evaluating players. For example, Mike Lombardi was on with Rich Eisen and explained that Cornerback contracts in FA have declined, when inflation is considered, over the past years. Here is the interview: https://youtu.be/rZ_UYlh3RMk?t=1141
My thought is that some positions, including CB are the ones that you can target in FA like NE has. Then spend your rookie contracts on the overpriced positions like QB, DL, OT. JMO, but I am hopeful that T.White becomes our Chris Harris Jr.

Name a douche that's been successful at QB in the NFL. Tom Brady, Matt Ryan, Andrew Luck, Drew Brees, Philip Rivers, Eli Manning, Russell Wilson, Aaron Rodgers, Matthew Stafford...Douches?
Is this rhetorical? Aaron Rodgers is a big douche. Kelly's uncle was too.
He's not that good. Sure he has the arm but nothing between the ears. The job is more than chucking a ball.
He makes great throws into tight windows. He will make some mistakes like every QB but he has the goods to win in the NFL. Better than any others in this class.
Just wanted to state it on the boards. I've saved the link so I can come back to it in a couple years
-
I wonder if BM even plays half a season this year.
They won't let a 33 year old WR dictate who they draft.
You seem pretty adiment about this all over the board. Got someone telling you the Giants are trading up?
-
Is Haslam really going to do this AGAIN?
I mean McGinn is pretty connected and he has the Browns taking Trubisky. Sasha Brown says they have their selection ready. I'd still be surprised if t was Mitchell.
-
This guy is loser and would be a waste of a pick, only thing he has name
Have you seen him play? He has been a knucklehead and apparently has been a douche but he is a really good QB.
just going off his game play, he is my #1 QB this year. (And this is after starting off as a doubter). I hope we draft him, sit him behind Tyrod for a year as he recovers and then he will win the QB job next year.
-
Need to focus more what's done on the field than off the field.
Lol duh. But since he hasn't played a game since October, these videos are new and fun.
-
Barnett is awesome. Beat the great Reggie White's sack record. Would be more than ok with him in the first.
It may not seem like it but i think DLine is one of our biggest needs, both end and tackle.
-
SportsScience graded him the highest QB in the past 6 years. Take it for what it's worth bc EJ scored pretty well too.
-
Kelly will be a Bill.
I hope so. Low risk, high reward as a future late round pick/UDFA. Be cool for the Kelly family to help Buffalo rise again.

A letter from Chad Kelly to Ole Miss fans:
Dear Ole Miss fans,
Ive been introduced to some really great people over the past couple of years. Coaches who made me better. Teammates and friends who gave me constant encouragement. A world-class support staff that helped me with everything from football to schoolwork.
And all of you, the fans. We lived through some incredible moments together.
You were there every time we walked through the Grove before a game. Seeing so many fans surrounding us, and theyre all going crazy, theres no feeling quite like it. Game day in Oxford is church on Saturday. You all packed the stadium every weekend. You were upset the rest of the week if we lost, and happy the rest of the week if we won. Thats what its all about.
You were there when we beat Alabama. We were able to march into Tuscaloosa and put our stamp on who we are. Thats the kind of game you dream about. Ill remember it for the rest of my life.
You were there when we went to the Sugar Bowl for the first time in 45 years. The feeling of all that confetti falling down on us in the Superdome was truly something special. Ill never forget throwing that touchdown lateral to Laremy Tunsil. Some people felt like we had the game in our hands, but we kept fighting and took a 28-point lead going into halftime. Winning that game felt amazing.

You helped make my two years in Oxford special. The road to Ole Miss wasnt always easy, of course. Nobodys perfect. I know Im not. I cant change the past. Yeah, Ive made some dumb mistakes. But I absolutely mean it when I say Ive learned from them.
In junior college, I kept an article in my room. It was written after Clemson kicked me off the team. I looked at that every single day to remind myself how I got there. To remind myself how every decision you make is going to be put under a microscope.
If I dont grow up now, at 23 years old, Im never going to get it. The time is now, and Im thankful I have an opportunity to show NFL teams who I really am and what I can do.
I want to thank everybody who stuck by me through thick and thin. I also want to thank my family especially my brother, mom and dad for helping me along the way. Its been a blessing to have a little brother who looks up to me in everything I do. Casey and I talk all the time. He really wants to follow in my footsteps, and my uncles footsteps. I want to be a good role model for him and set a great example for him on and off the field. That motivates me every single day.
Sometimes everything doesnt go according to plan. But if Ive learned anything, its that you cant give up. Keep pushing. Thats my mentality, because Ive been working for this my entire life. My dad always told me, If you can throw the ball anywhere on the field, youll be able to play in the NFL. I took that to heart. At 7 years old, I started throwing the ball 30 yards. A year or two later, I could throw it another 10 yards. I kept practicing and practicing until I could throw it 75 yards at age 14. Thats how badly I wanted to become an NFL quarterback.

I also put a lot of pressure on myself growing up. Having an uncle whos a Hall of Fame quarterback, I always felt like people were watching my every move. So I wanted to show out and prove what I can do. I needed to be great. But Im playing through my name, and nobody elses. My dad preached that, and it stuck with me.
Theres no faking it at quarterback. You have to put in early mornings and late nights. You have to be friends with everybody, whether you like it or not, and you have to prove that youre a hard worker. After all, you want the same thing from your teammates in return. And you have to believe you can accomplish anything. Five months after tearing my ACL, I was back on a football field throwing for NFL scouts at my pro day. When someone says you cant, I like being able to be the first one to say I can.
I believe Im a franchise quarterback because I have all those traits.
Ill be with family and friends in Buffalo when the draft starts. Itll just be another day I get to go home, watch my brother play some lacrosse, watch him do well and then find out where I go. Whatever happens, I wont let it slow me down. My parents always told me that you finish what you start. I started this journey back in seventh grade. You better believe Ill keep going.
To all of the Rebels fans who have cheered for me, Id like to say: Thank you for your dedication. Youve helped make Ole Miss the great university it is today. I was so lucky to be part of such a great team, and such a great conference. Im going to miss it.
Sincerely,
Chad Kelly

Benoit was completely convinced and he is a film nerd. He said if Bills take a CB it's because the value was too high to pass up. So if they have Lattimore at 4th overall and he drops to 10 they could still take him. It seems to me that the high draft picks and money will be spent on defensive line and the mike linebacker. I don't think Ragland is going to be the mike.
That would make me happy! Especially if it is McDowell like the original mock has. Guess we will have to wait until Thursday.
-
Andy Benoit of Sports Illustrated was on Buffalo radio Friday and he is convinced that the Bills would only take a CB in rounds 1 or 2 if they absolutely loved them. Thinks Bills will look to get a guy later in the draft and that was what Carolina was doing under Mcdermott, looking for zone cover guys later as the scheme doesn't prioritize it as much.
I certainly hope that is the route that we go, like what Carolina did last year. We have to be able to devalue some positions thanks to our offense and defensive schemes if we are ever going to catch good teams. But I'm just going off what McDermott said lately about cornerbacks: http://m.buffalobills.com/news/article-1/Cornerback-important-in-McDermotts-defensive-scheme/9f3a5265-faf9-43c8-836b-d830d61db9d2
Now that doesn't mean that we are def drafting one high, but it makes me think we are going to put more resources in it than I thought at first.

Really like the draft. Malik is gonna be a monster in the league and I'm of the opinion that our DLine needs new players ASAP. We went 4 years without drafting a DLineman between 2012 and 2015, gotta fix that and so I would love this move. However, I've bought into the Bills taking Trubisky. I think a trade down only happens if he is not there at 10 and I think if we trade down, it'll be for a LB. I just can't see Huber starting.Blokes doesn't like doing mock drafts but, with just a few days to go, I thought I'd give it a crack. There's a trade back that I think is accurate (at least according to this - http://www.drafttek.com/NFL-Trade-Value-Chart.asp?RequestTeam=TB). I know that I missed a couple of key positions but I tried to keep it realistic.
The Buffalo Bills are on the clock:
"There's been a trade! The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are enamoured with Washington WR John Ross and have traded up for him." Bucs get the 10th overall pick (1300 points), the Bills get the 19th (875), 50th (400) & 125th (47) picks.
#19 - Michigan State DT Malik McDowell
Sean McDermott's defense is built on pressure and no interior lineman is better suited for pressure than McDowell. As a rookie, McDowell can play sub package 3-tech and can rotate on the edge primarily on run downs to get him some exposure. The heir to Kyle Williams hath arrived (Adolphus can go !@#$ himself)
#44 - Clemson cornerback Cordrea Tankersley
The Bills need secondary help and they get it in Tankersley. Tankersley is the prototype "Seahawky" CB at 6'1", 200 pounds with length and vertical speed. He'll provide an upgrade in run defense and has the natural ball skills when he can locate the football early enough to make a play.
#50 - Penn State receiver Chris Godwin
The Bills offense needs a more viable outside threat than Andre Holmes and Godwin's the man to do it. Godwin's biggest selling point is his route running, creating easy separation at the intermediate level through a combination of agility and savvy. Godwin is reliable in contested catch situations and will continue to be the asset that Robert Woods was in the run game.
#75 - Troy offensive tackle Antonio Garcia
Finding a solution to the right tackle problem is a must at some point for the Bills, especially with Eric Wood and Richie Incognito both potentially on their last year in Buffalo in 2017. Garcia represents the right mix of talent, need and value in this class. Weight concerns diminish his value but the talent exists. Garcia will need time to add some weight & functional strength but his physical profile is a good fit for the Bills' zone run scheme. Compares athletically to former Juan Castillo project Ricky Wagner.
#125 - Wisconsin linebacker Vince Biegel
Biegel's true fit might be in a 3-4 scheme but his athletic traits and experience with coverage drops make him a long-term candidate for the SLB spot. His instincts for the run are well suited to SLB. Biegel can play special teams early and has a great potential mentor in Lorenzo Alexander to guide his transition to an off-ball role. Also has the chance to see some pass rush opportunities in certain down/distance packages.
#156 - Colorado free safety Tedric Thompson
The combination of some average testing in a great class and some concerns about his tackling and run support have kept Thompson's stock low but we don't care about that, do we? Behind Malik Hooker, I believe Tedric is the most natural ball-hawking free safety in the 2017 class. His play speed is better than his timed speed and his instincts and aggressive intent in coverage really set him apart. Could be a day 1 starter at FS and would be a huge steal (2nd round grade for me).
#163 (from Mike Gillislee offer sheet) - Georgia wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie
Doug Whaley likes his gadget players, it seems. He's signed Percy Harvin twice and brought in Reggie Bush so he obviously values high variance potential for big plays. In the tiny Isaiah McKenzie, he gets it. McKenzie isn't really much of a receiver at this point but his 6.64 3-cone time shows that there's potential to work with from that standpoint. Where McKenzie makes the roster is his special teams prowess and sheer versatility; having scored 4 times as a runner, 7 as a receiver, once as a kick returner and 5 times as a punt returner.
#171 - Utah running back Joe Williams
With "Touchdown Mike" joining the Sith overlords in Boston, a hole has opened up in the backfield. Joe Williams is a fantastic scheme fit for the Dennison offense with great vision, burst and long speed. With LeSean McCoy getting older and likely to feel the effects of wear and tear over a season, Williams is a closer like-for-like back than Jonathan Williams. The only concern with Williams is his mid-season retirement as a senior, which resulted from a drop in confidence after successive games with costly fumbles.
#195 - Boston College linebacker Matt Milano
At this point in the draft, you either accept that you're only getting role players or you swing at what's likely a moron with more talent than common sense. In Matt Milano, we take the former. The do-it-all Milano can make a fairly weak LB group as a rookie due to his penchant for making plays on special teams. As the draft has shaken out, he may have a chance to openly compete for time at WLB with Ramon Humber.
I think we are gonna go CB early based off of some of what McDermott said with how important corners are in his system. I'd rather wait, but I think this is a pretty good guess as to who the pick may actually be.bonus points in Whaleys eye for him being from clemson.
I like Godwin the player a lot and I think the Bills value the WR position. Plus, Pegs will love a PSU guy. If I was GM'ing. I don't draft a WR before day 3, just due to the sheer volume of players leaving college, I think you can get a good player later on.
The rest of your draft is solid. We need to start drafting some OL players. Cyrus is weird and his contract is almost up, Wood is old, Ritchie is older and Mills sucks. We are in for a world of hurt if we don't start adding assets to the line soon.
I think we may spend a couple more back end picks on CB/S/LB like you did. Overall, good job!

Sidney Jones was the better CB in Washington and he can be had later in the draft due to his injury.
