NORWOODS FOOT

He’s a fast little Bunny!

What would be really shocking is if they traded for him and then went “oh siht, we did the math wrong” and had to cut him. Or how about this one? Beane picks his own nose in the first round on national television, and pulls out Booger McFarland! OK, I’ll show myself out now! Is it 8PM yet?!

That would blow! 😄

Like most of us, I both want and expect the Bills to go WR in round one, especially if they can get one of the top guys. What if they don’t? What if they go defense? I would expect D-line or Corner in that scenario. However there is my total dark horse pick: Peyton Wilson LB of South Carolina His measurables are insane and it shows up on his tape. Plus if you watch his interviews he seems like a total McDermott kind of guy. Some speculate that he may even be able to play some safety due to his extreme athleticism. I’m not advocating, but if there were a total shocker pick I could see him in a Bills uni. Who do you have? This is your chance to look like a genius! 😅

Thank you very much for sharing all of this. After our Super Bowl run ended, the draft became my favorite football day of the year. I started watching the year that we drafted Jeff Burris of Notre Dame and have been going steady since. A few thoughts on some players: WR’s I would love one of the big three, particularly Harrison or Odunze. I like their size, their productivity, and their character. LEGETTE - I think there’s a lot of variance on where teams have him ranked. It’ll only take one to pull the trigger. He’s kind of a one year wonder thus far but may be on a very good trajectory. I have him ranked a little bit lower, but I’m cheering for him. History is pretty incredible. He’s already overcome a lot to be where he is. I think he’s a bit of a projection regarding his ability down the field. He’s shown flashes, but a team will have to decide if he can develop into someone that can be proficient at all three levels of the defense. WORTHY - while I still have concerns about his size, I’ve come around on him. If we could scheme to keep him off of the line of scrimmage when a team is in press coverage, I think we could work around it. he had a huge number of targets all three years at Texas and has held up. Also, just due to his speed, he would force any defensive backfield to spread out and create space for our other pass catchers. Anytime he runs a go route a defense will have to have someone follow him if not two defenders. If we have a strong run game our play action could be killer with him: 1) if he is open Josh can throw him a bomb, 2) if he pulls two defenders, somebody else should be open, and 3) if they hand the ball off in the back can break into the secondary there should be plenty of running room. Though I still have some concerns, I would actually be very happy if the Bills choose to take him as long as they have a plan to maximize his strengths. I won’t be surprised if the Bills target him. COLEMAN - i’m torn about him. I think he still has a lot of untapped upside and some good things to work with. His play speed is faster than his timed speed and he’s great at catching the ball even while being contacted. If he can continue to work on his speed and learn the intricacies of creating separation I think he could end up being very good, especially in the red zone. I wouldn’t be surprised if he snuck into the end of the first round and is probably going to be gone by the middle of the second.

We can debate the merits of trading up for a top guy, but I prefer to either go up for a top 3 guy or go down. That said, what are the odds that this trend is broken because of the apparent depth in this receiver class? But it’s one hell of a trend…

I’m good at projecting college talent in the pros. I think I’d want to be a head scout and have a big say in who we drafted.

Maybe Josh Allen could get the 25% as part of renegotiated salary and save us a lot of cap space. 🙃

It’s exactly the opposite of what you’re saying: Players have to come out eventually and now will be even more mature and better prepared. Less underclass men and more seniors. All the same players. Am I missing something?

The Buffalo Bill Belichicks… Hmmm….

Definitely. While I understand what the OP is getting at I think you can really only take things by a case by case basis. For example, when Ozzie Newsome was picking for Baltimore no one will convince me that he would have been better off throwing darts at a board of names. The man was a very gifted evaluator of talent. Your point is well taken: the coach wants to run a particular system. That’s going to affect the selections. And then, does the player get to grow in that system or is there a coaching change. This is a massively complex topic.

I haven’t read every post yet, but I’d like to see this broken down by: 1) who made the pick 2) round they mad it in 3 position they picked I think if we are going to pay attention to trends we should see the variance between decision makers first. Polian vs Whaley for example: you wouldn’t just lump them together and draw a meaningful conclusion.

Giving up what they did for Trey Lance was idiotic. Based on his level of competition and minuscule game experience the odds of failure were very high.

Patrick Mahomes! Everywhere I look, I see Patrick Mahomes!
