[Daniel Jeremiah mock #3 (Hockenson to Bills)]

I tend to disagree with the bolded.

 

When you have a really good receiving TE, he helps out the younger QBs immensely in that when the OC puts the TE in certain formations the defense has to reveal itself. To man or zone coverage and if the safety is here or there it will tell the QB which kind of man or which kind of zone so now the QB knows the defensive coverage before the ball is snapped. 

 

A good TE that can win outside as a receiver has become a very valuable chess piece in the better offenses as you can move him around the formation to get the look you want. Then if the Bills go two tight ends that can give a run look to the offense because this makes the defense gear up to stop the run. That receiving TE slips a block and he is open.

 

If I'm not mistaken Bills OC Brian Daboll was the Patriots TE coach for a number of years and he should be pounding the table for TJ Hockenson as this kid doesn't need much development and should make an instant impact and be an instant starter. TJ might be getting a lot of hype from the media...because he deserves it

 

The positional value hasn't been great in Buffalo over the years because they haven't had top NFL offensive coordinators who would even know how build a top passing scheme or to utilize a top tight end. The list of bums and nobody's in that offensive coordinator position in Buffalo has been astoundingly bad going back to after 2003 with Kevin Gilbride. Greg Roman, Anthony Lynn aside but those gentlemen were more suited to building a power run game. 

 

I just mean on the totem pole positional value goes like this

 

QB

MLB

DE

CB

LT

C

DT

WR

TE/S

G/RB

I think there's a real chance that the Bills take Rashan Gary

 

 I think so too if he's there. A high ceiling, still raw player who breaks every measurable

[Daniel Jeremiah mock #3 (Hockenson to Bills)]

Added bonus: Defenses won’t know if we’re running or passing when he’s in the game because he’s elite at both receiving and blocking.

[Daniel Jeremiah mock #3 (Hockenson to Bills)]

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.

  The article is from February, so maybe they had a change of heart?  I hope so, because the Dolphins/Dallas game will be a bore.

Dolphins v Cowboys is Week 4 I just read so the Bills v Cowboys is still a possibility. My boy's cousin works for the Cowboys so I might be able to get tickets for that game!

[Bills official Top 30 pre-draft visits]

The more and more I think on it I'm guessing Hockenson is the pick at #9

You'd rather have Metcalf over TJ Gronkowski?

 

Ed Oliver, Devin White, Jonah Williams,  TJ Hockenson, DK Metcalf...

 

In that order

[Bills 2019 NFL Draft: Buffalo Bills are taking D.K. Metcalf, says SI’s Gary Gramling]

For DK's sake he better hope he's a Bill because it's a perfect QB and offense for him. I shudder to think how his career turns out if he's matched up with a dink and dunk QB.

He's going to be such a solid pro

[Bills official Top 30 pre-draft visits]

We're definitely taking a TE so that should be exciting

[Bills 2019 NFL Draft: Buffalo Bills are taking D.K. Metcalf, says SI’s Gary Gramling]

Not trying to be mean but I've never heard of Gary Grambling before this. I like the Metcalf pick just because of what it says about Beane and this coaching staff.

We don’t know if he visited. The team does not report the visits. The visits are discovered when the player tells someone (usually in an interview) or the agent tells someone. Or he’s spotted in the airport, etc. No visits have been reported for Hockenson to any team.

 

The hid the private Wyoming workout with Josh Allen pretty well last year too

Who's in the running for you for #9th pick?

[Daniel Jeremiah mock #3 (Hockenson to Bills)]

He'd tick so many boxes and I'd be elated. 10 year quality pro who instantly is the best TE we've had since the early 90's. Great locker room guy who has a chance to be an All Pro guy and with our vertical offense he's going to eat in the middle of the field/intermediate. Sign me up.

[Post your mock draft here]

1. TJ Hockenson-TE IOWA 6'5 252
2. Dalton Risner-OL KANSAS STATE 6'5 312
3. Renell Wren-DL ARIZONA STATE 6'5 318
4. Anthony Nelson-DL IOWA 6'7 271
4. Jahlani Tavai-LB HAWAII 6'2 250
5. Khari Willis-S MICHIGAN STATE 6'0 214
5. Corey Ballentine-CB WASHBURN 6'0 205
6. Donnell Greene-OL MINNESOTA 6'7 320
7. Bryce Love-RB STANFORD 5'9 196
7. Diontae Johnson-WR TOLEDO 5'11 181

 

- Get two immediate starters in Hockenson and Risner who are great locker room guys

 

- Invested in two DL who have untapped potential and tremendous size

 

- Give McDermott three passion projects in Tavai, Willis and Ballentine that he can help mold but immediately help on ST's

 

- A swing tackle/guard we can stash away on PS for a year

 

- Two talented offensive players that are overlooked because of size concerns 

[2 picks in the first seems like a given to me...]

9. Ed Oliver

18. D.K. Metcalf

 

IMAGINE!

Hopefully he builds on his last game of last season

 

Was bad in the NE game but the whole team was. He won Defensive Rookie of the Month in December. 

[Tremaine Edmunds: Leader of Men and King of the North]

The only thing I'm taking out of today's presser is that Tremaine Edmunds is on equal footing with Josh Allen. Leader of the Offense and leader of the Defense both fielding questions in their second seasons.

 

He's definitely staying in at MLB and he's going to take the LEAP!

It was an investment that Terry and Kim Pegula committed to personally. In the wake of renovations and improvements to New Era Field, a redesign of the team’s locker room, training room and grass practice field expansion over the last few years, the most recent project by the owners of the Bills may prove to be the crown jewel of the enhancements at One Bills Drive.

 

 

ooooooh that looks cool.
