Does DK bump our newly signed Brown? Or does he bump Foster - who I'm not banking on, but I believe earned his opportunity?
Because he is raw I think he would be brought on slowly to replace Brown. That contract is easy to get out of after a year.

He needs to be an undisputed #1 receiver though.
Me too. Lower ceiling, admittedly, but significantly higher floor. Wouldn't take either at #9 though.
He does need to be a #1 receiver to be taken that high, absolutely. But I wouldn't take the higher floor player at 9. With that logic you'd take Christian Wilkins over Ed Oliver. I take the elite potential in the top 10 every time.

Unless he is the second coming of Julio - which there is nothing saying he is remotely close to that - then you have to take a safe, plug-and-play starter on the O or Dline.
He definitely does not need to be a Hall of Fame caliber receiver to justify picking him at 9.
An offensive lineman at 9 would be a mistake IMO. A d-lineman I would be happy with. Offensive line you can find better value after the 1st round.
The only thing that scares me about Metcalf is his injury history. Beyond that he's a physical and athletic freak who loves the game of football and is known as a workout warrior. Yeah I'll take that player at 9 any year. Of course some guy on a podcast saying we'll take him doesn't mean anything.

I called TJ yesterday when Beane was asked about the RBs being old and will he draft one.
He said he likes a RB still available in FA.
Yeldon catches well out of the backfield.
If they sign him they can draft a RB high next year.
I read this post three times before I realized you aren't good friends with TJ Yeldon

Interesting. This regime really doesn't like to draft RBs.

Great pick
I thought for sure Arizona would take him. It was a no brainer after their pick.

The Texans GM sprints to the podium and selects Cody Ford, OT/G from Oklahoma. Deshaun Watson was sacked a whopping 62 times in 2018 and there has been no effort to improve his protection in free agency. Ford offers position versatility as a RT or G, or even LT in a pinch.
@BuffaloHokie13 and the Giants are on deck.

had a better career than 75% of guys drafted.
Sure, because 75% of drafted players don't even become JAGs. He was worthy of starting for a team that lacked talent at receiver. He was good enough to produce as a #3 WR for a couple of seasons with the greatest QB of all time throwing him the ball. By NFL standards that's a solid career. But it doesn't mean we lost out on anything when he walked.

only Bills fans can think a guy who started for the Pats isn’t good enough for us.
Hogan wasn't good for the Pats either. Yeah he produced some. So did Philip Dorsett. Wide receiver was a major weakness for them last year and Hogan was one of the problems. Of course with Brady throwing the ball anyone would produce. There's a reason they're letting him walk for a $2 million contract. If he was on the Bills any of the past three years he wouldn't have made a significant difference. Right now he'd be an underdog to make the team.

This is a perfect comparison. Andrew Holmes had a season with 700 yards and 4 TDs, with a rookie Derek Carr throwing him the ball. Sometimes average or bad players produce for a season. At the end of the day he is still Andre Holmes.

Look at the fawning over the signing of tiny JAG Cole Beasley--one dimensional player who needs nearly 90 targets to get as many yards as Hogan gets in under 60. but he, like Hogan, fills a role---just a more limited one.
Terrible comparison. There's a reason Cole Beasley got signed for a 4 year $29 million contract, and Hogan is getting a 1 year deal with a maximum of $2 million for the year. Beasley is one of the best slot receivers in the league, Hogan is someone you borrow for a year while you wait for the real thing.

I will take the Texans. Didn't read through the whole thread, when is the draft scheduled?
-
The position group battles are going to be crazy this year. I feel like less than half the starters on defense are set in stone right now, and beyond Allen and Morse I couldn't name a single definite starter on offense. And this is before the draft. No one is coming to training camp with a job handed to them. That's the biggest difference since McDermott took over.

Any dream where you end up reading Walter football is a nightmare

Put your weird Bills dreams here. I can't be the only one that has those from time to time
Last night I dreamed the Bills drafted a dog that plays defensive tackle in round 1. Walter Football gave the pick an A grade.

good WR or TE who poses a match-up issue for opposing defenses.
Name your man. Which WR or TE is worth taking at 9? I'm not sure any of them are.

You don't reach for a player in the top 10. Draft BPA or trade down. Drafting a low 1st round offensive player at 10 vs drafting a top 10 pass rusher. No brainer.

Trade 9 for Clark and 21. That’s the equivalent point value of pick 35. Throw in a 4th or lower if needed. At 21 you can get Fant or Metcalf or Cody Ford. Boom, problem solved
I love it. Get a stud pass rusher and still have picks in each of the first 3 rounds. If this is doable we should jump on it.
-
We know they were in on Mack. Clark would be an incredible consolation prize. I would think a 1st would be the price but I'd be all for it.

Ahhh, yet it seems like only months ago that the board was shouting loudly that "you don't start a rookie QB, you let him learn for a year!!".....
Worked out for Mahomes. Aaron Rodgers sat a couple years and turned out pretty good too. Allen looked better after sitting a few games. I stand by my belief that many rookies would be better off sitting at least half of their first season.

I remember him, he was projected to go in the high 2nd round but fell to the 3rd. Wasn't he an OLB coming out?

I was joking around but I agree that Harry would be a great fit. His personality is great as well.
I have heard his practice habits are sloppy and he gets lazy in games. Doesn't seem like someone McDermott would draft.

Bills 2019 NFL Draft: Buffalo Bills are taking D.K. Metcalf, says SI’s Gary Gramling
in The Stadium Wall Archives

I could see him falling past 15 but I'd be really surprised if he falls out of the 1st entirely. A physical freak with NFL pedigree. The NFL falls in love with prospects like that. I'd say the only thing holding him back from being a definite top 10 pick is his injury history.
