Rank the Bills Remaining Areas of Need.
BurpleBull replied to BurpleBull's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
My list of draft hopefuls based on my rankings look like this: 1. Josh Sweat or Obinnia Okoronkwo DE (Honestly don't know much about either but Josh Sweat has crazy Combine results and O.O. is talked about well; BPA in the form of a pass-rusher) 2. BPA RB --- I'm going Bo Scarbrough . 3.) BPA OLB --- I'm thinking Tegray Scales (don't know much about him, but states that he's got the speed to play sideline-to-sideline in at least one scouting report) 4.) Cedrick Wilson WR --- Boise State 5.) OG (BPA 6.) Troy Fumagali TE 7th ---- Dark horse: Frank Ginda LB San Jose State Stepping away from the web for a minute hope I return to good news. -

RD3, Pick 96: Harrison Phillips DT - Stanford
BurpleBull replied to Reed83HOF's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Watching him right now on YouTube. Lol I watched the Stanford game live when they played Washington St., he got ejected in it I believe, but I knew he was someone to be watched when I saw him make a great play in the backfield, followed by the commentators stating that he was the leading tackler on his team. That's crazy. -

I love the Harrison Philips pick; I was hopeful that the Bills would be able to draft both Harold Landry and Harrison Phillips together because I feel like the D-line is one of the bigger areas of concern. Glad that the staff felt the same on Day 2. I honestly began to feel like the DT position was addressed and the Bills could get away with not addressing the DT position until next year's draft with Kyle Williams returning and the signing of Star Lotulelei. Very happy the Bills got Harrison Phillips. It feels like another 1st rd'er being added to the team. I will stick with my original belief that the D-line, the pass-rush specifically, is still one of the bigger areas that needs to be addressed. There's a lot of DE's still on the board and I expect teams to make a run on them. A lot of people think an OL should come off the board next but I won't be surprised if the Bills target a DE early in Day 3. I think I would be happy with Josh Sweat. Obinnia Okoronkwo could also be in play. -

Drafting a TE would be nice, but I think grabbing a speedy WR makes it less of a priority. I'm hoping the Bills select Bo Scarbough at running back. -

So because a D-lineman was taken, O-lineman should automatically shoot to the top of one's priority list lest they're charged with 'not thinking'? If you can read I have RB next on my list...not OL. -

BurpleBull replied to BurpleBull's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yeah...if you say so. The Bills just selected a D-lineman ahead of an OL with its first Day 2 pick in case you missed it. -

D-lineman Harrison Phillips. Close enough. -

Excellent. Thought he'd be gone in the 2nd. Kyle Williams replacement. -
Why didn't NE make a move for a QB in Rd.1???
BurpleBull replied to #34fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think you'd die from laughter if Belichick, Brady, or Kraft presented you with the "Why did the chicken cross the road" joke. My thoughts. -

Why? Please don't say the Allen pick. -

And how do you know that? What is it about AJM and Allen that will cause this OL to be a complete disaster? -

Dawkins, Ducasse, Mills... Who is the 3rd? -

What is depth if it doesn't yield production? -
My guess is the first is Josh Allen and the second EJ Manuel.

It's not number one because I'm not as panicked with the O-line situation as many are. The coaches felt good about Ducasse and Mills on the right side, they brought in Bodine and also have Groy as the potential starting C, and Dawkins is solid at LT. We know why Ducasse got the starting RG slot, it's because it was believed by the coaching staff that he best fit Rick Dennison's zone blocking scheme. John Miller is not trash by a longshot and he is still on the roster. Brian Daboll could find Miller more valuable to what he wants to do as offensive coordinator. Miller could always regain the RG position, while a more athletic Ducasse gets flipped to the LG spot. Maybe Miller is moved to LG and Ducasse continues to man the RG spot. I'm not thrilled with either Ducasse or Mills and the Bills could upgrade, but they both were part of that rushing attack surge that caught on late in the season. I think the Bills should to add to the line in this draft, but I don't think at all that it's a must that they go OL on Day 2. -

Yeah I just caught that. It's just not something I'm worrying about that much that's why I missed it. I just went back to include it. -

Revised: 1. DE 2. RB 3. OLB 4. WR 5. OL 6. TE Forgot about the OL...how'd I do that? Still not one of my bigger concerns though. -
Rank the Bills position of need in the order you feel is greatest regardless of how much sense you feel it makes to the next person. Let's see if the Bills next Day 2 and Day 3 moves coincide with your analysis to some degree. Mine looks this way: 1. DE 2. RB 3. OLB 4. WR 5. TE

Is there a precedent for developing a low-percentage QB?
BurpleBull replied to finn's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
There was a stretch where Jay Cutler completed 60% of his passes 7 out of 9 seasons, he's currently at 62% for a career and he finished with a 57% completion rate at Vanderbilt. He'd be heralded as a great QB who never won a championship if he wasn't perceived to be an emotionless person and leader at QB.
