    I watch N'Keal Harry and see a guy who looks a lot like a mid-career Eric Moulds in terms of size/speed/quickness/power .    His measurables are close too.   Same type of big, springy but not super quick or fast WR.    That's OK..........but Moulds numbers were inflated from 2002-2005 because he was the "#1" and was getting fed constantly even as his ability to separate(and subsequently ypr) steadily declined so I wouldn't expect the same production from a young guy trying to earn his way with that skillset.    But more importantly it seems the league is trending toward quicker/faster types than it is contested catch guys.  And when you compare the similar measurables of Moulds and Harry it's important to remember that corners are bigger and faster now than they were when Moulds entered the league.   I think Harry will struggle to get open consistently.

     

    I like Harry. I agree that he won't get a ton of separation, but he's so great on contested catches that I don't think it really matters. He was saying on NFL network, that he feels that even if he is covered, 9 times out of ten he is going to find a way to come down with the ball. I feel like we need a guy who excels at making contested catches.

    Adam Schaefer wouldn't be advertising if the Seahawks weren't desperate.  Kansas city and Indianapolis are involved they are offering picks in the 60's ish range. The jets want him but would need to trade back now. That weekends the jets strength in return. If the bills are involved they will get him for 40. I'm surprised gruden not all over this must be drafting a rusher at 4 

    Gruden did not want to give a crapload of money to Khalil Mack. He isn't going to turn around and give draft picks and a crapload of money to Clark. Gruden is crazy, but not that crazy. 

  3.  

    Cashman has McDermott traits. He's a former walk on special teamer and a former safety who ran a 4.5 at the combine and timed a 6.95 in the three cone, 37.5 vert and 124 broad. Also studly...Like a bigger Matt Milano. He's a Will linebacker who could probably play some Mike and projects to be really good on special teams. I think he's a no brainer if he's there in the 4th or 5th as a nice depth piece at linebacker who will push Milano. 

  4. I think all that stuff about the Jets loving Oliver is a smokescreen to get people to trade up. Not sure I believe they will take him at three. I think they really do want to trade down and they have to create a narrative about who will be gone. I still think they take Josh Allen and I think they are crazy if they don't. 

     

    I think the rumors of us taking Oliver comes from rumors about what is happening in front of us. I think some of these draftniks are plugged into what some teams are going to do and the logical conclusion is that a player like Oliver might be on the board and will clearly be BPA at a position of need for Buffalo. This is one of those serendipitous type situations that Beane talked about where need and the board line up. Just my 2 cents. I think we want Oliver or Sweat. If one of those guys is on the board, I think we run to the podium. If not, I think we get into trade down talks or something. I think there is also a chance that the regime is all in on Hockenson or Metcalf, but my gut tells me Oliver or Sweat.

    He’s lower risk but he’s not as good. Give me the better player. This team can afford the contract, just get better.

    I don't think people realize how good Clark is. They see Ansah was drafted high and think he's close to as good. It isn't even close. Clark is really good, not Khalil Mack good, but probably a top ten DE and Ansah is basically Trent Murphy.

    Remind me again...do we like Mel this week?

     

    I think I gotta like Mel for a little while becuase he's all in on Josh Allen. And we have no Mayock anymore so that changes things a bit for me. 

     

    I used to to watch the NFL network for draft coverage but over the past few years they have shown so many commercials with way less highlights and analysis. I hate to say, but ESPN has actually done much better, especially on days two and three.

    I think I’m off the Hock train.  Well, I think the Bills are.  They don’t usually draft guys they don’t spend pre-draft time with. 

     

    I find their lack of meeting with him interesting 

     

     

    I do think it is possible that they have gone out of their way to keep their meeting with him secret. I think he is the kind of guy in this draft that you hide your interest in. No one seems to really know where he is going to go because no one has tipped their hand in terms of interest in him. That keeps people from trading up in front of you to get him and that Detroit at 8 is prime position for a trade up. I think Oliver or Sweat are the pick, if they aren't there Hock or Metcalf. I'm thinking one of those four, idk. It's also possible this regime is all in on Metcalf or Hock. If they draft a right tackle or Dillard I will be very dissapointed

    Is Allen a home run hitter?  Yes. But there comes times in every game where you need 7 yards to move the chains. That’s where your TE comes into play. McD himself said that. I think it’s more of a possibility than any of us realize. 

     

    I agree with this. And honestly he threw the ball a good amount to his tight end Jacob Hollister during his junior year. Having all of that speed on the outside with Brown and Foster should open things up underneath for the tight end and Beasley. Defenses cant cover everything and spy Josh Allen.

    I guess u don't value TEs that can block like a tackle in the run game and stretch the seems in the passing gm as well as lineup all over the field and create mismatches. I much rather have Hock then any of these offensive lineman in this draft. I believe the lineman are highly overrated in this draft. 

     

    J Williams - doesn't even have a locked in position yet flexibility is great if your a bkup but for top 10 pk I want a guy that's solidified at his position and is really good not a maybe .

     

    J Taylor- another guy people say can kick inside .  . That's a red flag.  We don't need a team full of Jacks of all trades masters of none. 

     

    A Dilliard- Dilliard is a LT but never faced great comp in pac 12 and never needed to run block . 

     

    Hockenson is a better run blocker than Dillard is imo.

    IDK man Hockenson is considered a consensus Top 10 prospect in this Draft. He’s instantly the most talented TE in Bills history. A future multiple time Pro Bowler and helps us in both the passing and running game. 

     

    I’m not going to throw a tantrum if we take him even though the positional value isn’t great.

     

    I tend to agree. If Oliver is gone, I really hope we go in this direction. I will throw a tantrum if we take a RT or Andre Dillard. I'd much rather  take a shot on a guy like this.

  11. I gotta ask the draft gurus out there, but what's the difference between Metcalf and former third round pick Chris Conley? I know DK is about ten pounds heavier. Conley had better college production, a better vertical, 4.35 40, great three cone. Both had some inconsistencies in their game. I thought it was funny when DK said the league has never seen anybody like him, and I immediately thought of Conley. I'm just wondering what makes 1 a top ten pick and the other a third rounder? It's not like that 2015 class had a bunch of unbelievable receievers in it. In fact that draft kind of sucked overall. 

     

    I liked Conley in free agency and I think Metcalf is interesting, I just want to know what the difference is. I'm a line guy so I need some help from my skill people.
