    Yeah, I definitely completely missed that. And, I completely agree. It hurts to remember the times it was our strongest position.

    I'm not sure he'll be there in the 7th. He could easily go in the 5th. If a team has few holes to fill and it's a choice between a kicker with a really high chance of securing that position (remember how bad kicking has been lately in the NFL) for the next several years or a position player likely not to make it out of camp on the active roster, I'd go kicker.

    I agree with you.  He will likely be gone by the 7th.  I guess I'd consider him with one of our 6ths if he's the BPA pick.

    I know I might be in the minority here, but I'd love a young QB.  Jake Fromm is fascinating!

     

    I agree, although do we actually spend a 4th on him with all the other needs we have?  How would that affect Allen's leadership?

    I'm not sure how much stock to put onto the profootballfocus stats and ranking system, but according to them, Our weakest starter is DT Star Lotuleilei (actually CB Josh Norman according to his 2019 stats).  

     

    I think that there's some truth to that.  Hope Norman rebounds, and that we address DT and CB in this draft.

    I think you're wrong. Almost every mock had him going in the 3rd, often higher than where he actually went. So why is your analysis more accurate than the "experts" and the actual GM who gets paid millions to do it, a GM that has been pretty successful to this point?

    I don't have THAT big of a head!  lol..

     

    That was my immediate rabid Bills fan take on the pick.  Everyone's going to have an opinion, and I didn't like the pick.  I thought there were better options on the board that I think would have made more of an impact.  

     

    Now that he's a BILL, I'm over it, and hope he's the rookie of the year.  I'll gladly eat some crow!

    Gotta be honest.  I like the POSITION but not the pick, at all.  Way too high for Moss, and I personally think we could have landed him in a later round.

     

    I'd have gone with WR Devin Duvernay, Texas.  Yes we have Diggs, but our other starters are over 30 and this in my opinion the WR's in round 2 were of better value.  Most of the WR talent are bon afide starting material, where Moss will never be more of a role player/backup.  Brown and Beasley are old and will start to fade, so it's very important to add youth to an aging position..  I see this as a missed opportunity.

     

    Beane got a HIT by trading for Diggs, and then followed up with an extremely solid round 2.  Didn't panic and trade up, and got a very good EDGE rusher.  

     

    Bad pick in round 3.  

     

    In round 4, I hope he redeems himself with one of the following (in order of preference):

    WR Donovan Peoples-Jones, Michigan

    CB Darnay Holmes, UCLA

    TE Colby Parkinson, Stanford

    OG Ben Bredeson, Michigan

    CB Lamar Jackson, Nebraska

    OT Prince Tega Wanogho, Auburn

    WR KJ Hill, Ohio State

    TE Hunter Bryant, Washington

    WR Juan Jennings, Tennessee

    WR Collin Johnson, Texas

    CB Troy Pride Jr. Notre Dame

    What do you like about Akers? I know very little about him. Who is his best comparison?

     

     

    I like Akers because he has good vision to sort through blockers, and rarely goes down on first contact.  I think he's a great compliment to Singletary's skill-set.  Although shorter, I see him as a similar back as Le'Veon Bell.  Just watching his power running style.

    Singletary needs a decent back to share the load with... he isn't a workhorse back. 

    Yea. Just rather they go a primer position or skills position. Not a safety. I'd hate it honestly. 

    I wouldn't want a safety at 54 either.  I see some depth in this draft and at least 3 that I'd like in rounds 3 onwards, like Brandon Jones, Texas, and both of the top S prospects from Alabama.

    I totally agree Scott, but this team has draft needs at multiple positions, and I just think that a trade up would be a mistake.  I think we need those pics!  I really want Cam Akers!!  but just hope he drops.

    The best RBs are going to go fast.  I wouldn't hate a trade up.

    I would.  Even if the top 3 are taken, I don't think that losing picks in a trade up would justify an RB pick since Singletary averages 5.1ypc.  We just need a complement, and I like a few beyond the top 3.

    I wouldn't mind edge rusher, but a safety on this team? When is he playing? 

    Hey Scott,

    I followed the Chargers a wile back and when they drafted Eric Weddle, I felt the same way.  They had two very good starters at the time and wondered about need. What they did in his rookie year is play him as the DIME back (and on the field an awful lot).  Then, since the safeties were getting a little old (like our are both going to be over 30), he was the primary backup and ended up playing due to injuries to starters (that happens more often when you are over 30).  I think it would be a smart move to add insurance at the position, and "heir apparent", as they say.

    I want the best TE in the draft. That’s the 1 position on this roster I feel we are almost nowhere at. I know Knox made a few angry runs and got people all excited, but he dropped passes left and right and was invisible for weeks at a time. This franchise has never really had a truly excellent TE. Identify the best guy in the draft and find a way to make it happen. We are set at WR and the Oline is in good shape. We do need a # 2 RB but an excellent TE puts us into elite offense territory. Make it happen please.

     

    I want a TE as well.  Take a good look at my sleeper pick from Stanford, PARKINSON.

    I've got 3 guys top of mind in round 2.

     

    DT Neville Gallimore, Oklahoma:  We have to stop the run, and our interior D-line is pretty up there in age.  A youth infusion is needed.

     

    WR Michael Pittman, USC:  There are plenty of WR's that we could draft in round 3 and still have great VALUE, but if Gallimore and Akers are gone, I'm looking at Pittman.

     

    RB Cam Akers, Florida State:  I think he's the perfect compliment to Singletary, and would bring some thunder in short yard and red zone situations.
