  1. Walter football:

     

    Buffalo Bills: T.J. Sanders, DT, South Carolina – A Grade 
    The Bills traded up to this pick, but didn’t really surrender much for it. With that in mind, I love this pick. The Bills must have watched what the Eagles did to the Chiefs in the Super Bowl, so they know they need a great pass rush. They signed Joey Bosa, and now they traded up for T.J. Sanders, who has incredible upside as an interior defensive lineman.

  2. 1987 was a long time ago. Teams aren’t running wing t and a ton of power O aside from like the Chargers and ravens. Only the 3-4 teams have these massive hulking NTs. 
     

    What everyone seems to want, just isn’t the game anymore. And isn’t the scheme here. They want guys who are versatile. Maybe they are wrong, but it makes no sense to smash your head against the wall about it.

  3. Why does anyone here think McDermott is going to change his scheme? Like you have to get over that. I’m not a McDermott guy, but he ain’t changing. 
     

    Anyway, they clearly really like the dude. I don’t love the trade, but Beane seems to like to pick in tiers. And he traded up and down in one trade. 
     

    And there is nothing stopping them from moving up again. Less amo, but they still can move around. I like when they target guys they really want, regardless of how I feel about them. 
     

    And like Gunner said, the 49ers were going to take him.

    He would be a Niner now. He is perfect for the Saleh defense. A 3T there is a huge need. They actually have a just about serviceable 1T in Jordan Elliott. Though Collins is probably an upgrade there. Their 'bigger need' was unquestionably 3T. 

     

    If the Bills didn't take TJ he goes two picks later.


    100% they needed to get in front of San fran

    Bad shoulder or not.  He's not a good tackler guys.  Love him in every other area though.

     

     


    Hes ok, not great. I feel like most corners look like that. He’s doing the job and forcing the play back inside. I don’t expect him to put down a 230 lb RB 1 on 1, so I am not too worried about it. 
     

    And to add, tackling is one of those things that can get better. Probably never amazing, but he has things you can’t teach like the ball skills and the speed.

    Please no. Only because it will result i, "BUT WHERE WILL SANDERS LAND?!" and the talking heads practically forgetting any other player exists.


    Kiper was losing his mind. It was Jimmy Clausen all over again.

    I also want to mention how pleased I am with the rest of the AFCE draft picks. A guard, a RT, and a run stuffing 2 down DT. None of these picks scare me in the slightest.

     

    The Jets and Pats can make some noise here early with guys like Emmanwori early, but I agree.

    Burden, Collins and Farmer.

     

    I love Burden here. We haven't talked about him much here. I am guessing he goes super early tonight. I think we will have a shot at Collins and Farmer.

    I preferred Shavon Ravel. I like his story rather than these portal mad SEC guys. Plus bigger and more balanced. Give me a guy who worked at an Amazon warehouse, not some NAL dude w nothing to lose. 

     

    Hairston stayed at Kentucky all three years. Big time production in the SEC. Revel is very interesting, but played against Campbell and Florida Atlantic. 

     

    Similar athletes, Revel has more length, a serious injury, and played lesser competition. 

     

    I like Revel a lot too. But it makes sense that the Bills had Hairston higher.

    Haha I truly don't ever remember reading a 1st round Bills draft thread like this.

    It is SHOCKINGLY devoid of hot takes and anger.

    Why is that? Because corner was such a glaring need? Because the guy we picked ran a 4.28? WHAT IS BEHIND THIS MADNESS?!?!

    An academic study on the matter needs to be completed, I think.

     

    Let me just say I love the pick. 

     

    But I think the lack of hotakes is mostly the lack of options available. It does feel like, for once, they drafted BPA. 

     

    The big draft crushes here, Grant and Harmon and Nolan were all long gone. So no one has an argument there. The only huffing and puffing is people saying we should have traded up/down or taken Will Johnson. 

     

    In past years, we all knew Orakpo was the right pick and we screwed up. We all felt like Elam was a reach, 3 all pros went after and the Chiefs took our guy. Last year, everyone wanted Ladd. We all wanted Khalil Mack and not Samy Watkins. This year it's like what is the alternative to Hairston? I also think the 40 helps. 

     

    Anyways, great pick and I am excited to watch this guy play.

    Apparently he was a better and more willing tackler before his shoulder injury. But anyways I just don't care that much about run support for my CBs. It's like blocking for a WR, a nice plus but not the make or break attribute. Tre White even in his prime also was not great in run support or as a tackler and he was still elite in our scheme. I just want my top CBs to cover and break up passes.

     

    So many guys never tackle at that spot. I think Beane put it best: they just have to be willing tacklers. 

  13. The Hunter move felt very similar to the Sammy Watkins trade-up to help the quarterback. But I agree that they do not feel like they are one move away. 

     

    Looks like a Landon Jackson/Josh Farmer possibility. I like Norman-Lott a lot. Then I am guessing they get a WR somewhere. Should be a fun couple of days.
