Word on the street is that both Kelly and the Bills know that he needs to be away from Buffalo. Too many distractions.
Makes sense.

Love the Milano pick. Is Chad Kelly up next?????
I could see them possibly going after Kelly as an UDFA. But I'd be surprised if they drafted him, with the emphasis they're putting on character.
Guess we will find out soon enough though

171 and 195
Thank you.

Another 5th and 6th
Thanks. Appreciate it. But I meant what # do we pick at in the 5th and 6th.

What picks do we have left now?
-
Tre White
Zay Jones
Dion Dawkins
all three are better than what the Bills currently have starting at these positions ...
The Bills started last week with 6 picks; they gained a fifth rounder from Gillislee and then parlayed this into 3 immediate starters and an extra first round pick next year and still have 6 picks...
Its hard for me to be mad at this...speculating on what the team passed up is just that, speculation. What the team has is what matters. Barring injury these three picks all crack the top 22 and the Bills are positioned very well for a QB draft that has potentially 8 QBs that are more talented than the first QB picked this year--Darnold, Rosen, Allen, Mayfield, Jackson, McSorley, Mason Rudolph, Luke Falk...they all have a greater junior year history then Mitchell Trubisky...
Picking the BPA is a great freaking talking point but reality is if its close on the evaluation you draft to fill holes..
Well said. 3 picks in the top 2 rounds, where it looks like we potentially added 3 day 1 starters. plus an extra 1st next year in what (as of now) looks like a very deep QB class, and we still have the same number of picks this year as we started with...
Rounds 4-7 are much more of a crap shoot anyway. The first 3 rounds are where you need to hit on your starters, and if the a Bills did that they are in good shape.
Seems kind of silly to get so upset before any of these drafted players even play a single down for the Bills. If they all bust, then yeah get mad. But until then what's there to be so mad about?
If you're going to stop following your favorite team because they traded away a couple later round picks, how big a fan were you to start with?
Personally, I'd be more upset if it looked like they drafted another 1st round bust, like in days past... But that's just me.

Once you are past the third round the likelihood of finding a guy that can come in and compete for a starting role are pretty remote. Do you really think that guys picked in late rounds are significantly better than undrafted free agents? Most of these guys come in and compete for a roster spot and at best become special teamers.
The Bills may very well have picked up three starters, using those late picks to achieve that is smart. I think they have done a good job of working this draft. They may very well have filled three holes. What more do you want?
Polish Dave posted a really interesting tweet yesterday on UDFA.

Hope for underdogs: There are more undrafted free agents on NFL rosters today (481) than 1st- and 2nd-round picks combined (480), per Elias.
I wonder what the numbers are for 4th-7th round picks vs UDFA on NFL rosters...
-
What picks do we have left? I can't keep up. Is the 4th gone? Do we still have a 3rd?
I guess we never had that 4th. It was reported wrong.
We have two 5ths and one 6th left.
-
WTF does the Bills success or lack there of have to do wi people thinking your opinion on players is wrong?I know, the Bills success proves otherwise.
Absolutely nothing.

Keep drinking the Kool Aid
Because I think Mills sucks? Um. Ok.
-
They will sign a whole bunch of guys after the draft. That is what UDFA's are for.

Interesting.
I remember McDermott said that the Bills will sign a large number of UDFA's. That it will be something they put some emphasis on.
I'm not sure they have a whole lot of choice, anyway. We have a lot of roster spots left to fill.
-
Not really. Only WRs i liked were Williams and Davis, unfortunately they were gone. They could be Sammys replacement. Jones is a low level #2 at best.
Stopped paying attention to your opinion when you said Mills was fine... lol (j/k)
-
I'm excited about is pick the more I read here and elsewhere.
Very hopeful we found our RT for now and the future.
Our O line could be very good with a better RT. plus Hopefully we won't need to have an extra player blocking so often on the right side to cover for Mills weakness.
-
nfln says he's a RT in NFL
Cool. Good to hear.
I have to imagine the Bills are planning on him playing RT. We have a couple backup G's already and RT is a glaring need.
Can't imagine they give up a 3rd and 2 5th's for a G (a position we actually have some depth at).
-
Mills is fine at RT. He will compete with Miller and at least at good depth. Don't like the value but like the player. Also don't forget Seantreal after his suspension.
Mills sure wasn't fine at RT last year. He was terrible.
-
3 left. 2 5ths and a 6th.
Thanks.
-
So now we have 2 picks left? And don't pick again until the 5th?
-
mayock said RT right away
Nice. Hope so. It's a HUGE need.
-
Can he play RT? They're saying on ESPN they see him as a G.
-
Man you guys are way ahead. They just announced the pick now
-
aight the booings getting old
Very.
-
Lazy hackey analysis. Same old clichés in that guy's post. It's about producing a starting QB, really, not a superstar.
Go through the list of QBs drafted and then started significant game numbers their fisrt year and you will see that today's "college game" does at least as well as it did 30 years ago at this.
Seems to me like the goal should be improving upon our current starting QB, not just finding a starting QB period.
-
I don't really care how it works out for them. I just want the players WE pick - to work out. If we get 3 good players out of this, it'll go a long way to pushing us into the playoffs.
Same here. That's all that really matters at this point.
I loved the trade down. Thought it was definitely the right move for the Bills.

Just checked a Chiefs message board and they are all laughing at how little they gave up.[/size]http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showt...=307403&page=2
Let them laugh.
History is definitely NOT on their side. Take a look at trades into the top 10 for QBs over the last 17 years. There's maybe 1 that worked out well - Michael Vick way back in 2000 (before mobile QBs were popular. That trade may not even happen today).
Other than that, it's hard to point to another trade into the top 10 that worked out. Sanchez? LOL

I actually love this pick.
I think he can be a good backup, and maybe he will surprise (although I'm not holding my breath).
