He better be in competition for the starting G spot. At this point i don't think we should ever mock an actual NT to the Bills ever, we have no intention of ever stopping the run.

He will play big nickel right away and replace CJGJ next year.

Good LB with crazy RAS, I'm happy with this and expect him to start

Finally a good player who fits a need.

At this point I don't care. We took a DE that will be a rotational backup with the same athletic profile as the 2 DEs before him and a backup CB. We needed starters at LB and DT, but the gameplan appears to be to simply ask teams nicely not to run the ball and then hope the QBs stop throwing the ball quickly so our very large compression style OLBs can slowly make their way in front of the QB to bat the ball down. During which time, our CB3 will probably be called for holding. There were starting caliber players at positions of need and we passed them up to try and feed Beane's ego. Crappiest draft I can remember.

This is the pick that made me turn off the draft and not watch the entirety of days 1 and 2 in forever. This isn't a serious front office. There is no world in which CB3 is more important than a starting DT or LB. Any explanation to the contrary is asinine.

I didn't want WR in rd 1. Hoping for McDonald or Miller. We basically got our 2nd rounder back now (we had 60, now 69). I'm pretty happy. We can pick up Ted Hurst or Trotter in the 2nd and I'll be over the moon.

If Omar Cooper is still there I wouldn't think that's off the board. I like him a lot. I would prefer McDonald or Miller

Faulk, Lawrence, Kayden McDonald, Christen Miller, Omar Cooper, KC Concepcion - One of these guys will be there for us.

We are not a good run-stopping team. Walker is better as a penetration-based player and not a NT. He can fill in at that position but he is too tall to consistently be expected to take on double teams. Drafting a legitimate NT would allow us to start Walker and Oliver on either side of the NT and allow them to do what they are good at. It also doesn't force us to rely on Sanders to be a starter when he hasn't shown the ability to shoulder that load.

Giants hosted DJ Reader today, so they might actually trade Lawrence

Shorter arm-length should be viewed as a negative factor im decision-making because the draft should be about maximizing your chance to get a good player and minimizing risk. You don't take a risk that a player is going to be the one outlier in the history of his position with your only pick in the 1st 2 rounds. If we were talking about Howell as a 3-4 rounder I could see the argument, but this team has serious needs at WR, DT and ILB. ILB can be filled in rounds 3+. At WR I think you can make the argument that Concepcion is the only one worth a 1st rounder in the range we are drafting. You can get a speed receiver in rounds 3+. A NT that has pass-rush juice is a 1st round pick but I don't think McDonald has enough. If Concepcion is gone I would want to trade back. I like Miller from UGA about as much as McDonald and he's a 2nd rounder. I'd rather have Miller and Trotter or Ted Hurst than taking a swing at some maybe DE.
