Our first superbowl win of course!

Seems like it needs to happen. I liked him as a prospect, but I'd still rather move next years #1 to move up and get Oliver. He is a great interior line pass rusher (a little light, but still he is explosive) and 5 years on a rookie contract will help us in some other areas in the short term. If you can keep this draft in place and somehow maneuver enough to grab him, N'Keal and Sternberger I would be happy. I know this will never happen, but still.

I don't entirely disagree, I just don't feel like we are quite at that point and I am hoping we are next year (at least picking in the 20s). The 9th is very hard to give up, but I want to go a little higher if we can and preserve our 2nd this year.

Good article on the TE position in this draft and valuation of it... http://www.optimumscouting.com/news/replacing-gronkowski

It depends on what value is on the board at the time...

Same question for you as well...

how and why would you even know this?

No ****. I know that. I was talking in terms of draft comp, the contract and where we are at with our roster reconstruction. "Oh hell no" for us, is here I was going. This is also the reason why pass rushers are the next premium position besides QB.... Btw speaking of Hughes:

Oh hell no!

Could be lupus?

nope

It's done

I don't see a TE going in the top 10 unless it is a prioritized position for a team. Edit: for the record, yes I like Hock. TE talent can be found across the rounds: Gronk (RD2), Ebron stunk in Detroit (not worth the first), Kittle (RD 5), Ertz (RD2), Cook (RD3) etc.

I am 100% certain this is our guy - it's about finding a trade partner that is palatable. TB, NYG are my targets

I'm thinking right around pick #5, which should be palatable; I would be shocked to see us go higher than that. If for any reason we went higher that should tell you how they feel about the talent drop off and where they see the roster overall. Obviously our ability to maneuver to get him will be based on finding a dance partner who is reasonable.

I still believe Oliver is our target

I'm convinced we are going to maneuver for Oliver From https://theathletic.com/940291/2019/04/23/from-dream-picks-to-trade-down-targets-the-bills-most-likely-options-at-no-9-in-the-draft/ He was miscast as a nose tackle in Houston’s defensive scheme but is at his best when penetrating into the backfield. Both Brandon Beane and Sean McDermott attended Oliver’s pro day workout at Houston. It was one of just two pro days McDermott attended this year. If Oliver is available at No. 9, he will be tough to pass up. Brugler rates him as the No. 5 prospect in this draft and describes Oliver as an “ideal one-gap penetrator due to his athleticism, instincts and relentless nature, projecting best when he is lined up closest to the football.” McD at the Owners Meeting: "Yeah that's big. That's really big. To be able to get pressure from the inside... you know, people would argue that there's ways to take away the edge rusher more than there is ways to take away the inside, the interior rusher, and I would probably agree. The ability to pressure an effective quarterback from the inside out is critical when you want to play good football on defense. So, you've got to make sure that you've got enough of those guys." Write up of the McD & Johnson Defense In McDermott’s system — like most 4-3 alignments — the defensive line is unleashed on the opponent’s backfield (and quarterback) in a relentless one-gap onslaught. There’s little to no two-gapping for defensive linemen. McDermott’s (and originally Johnson’s) idea is that quick penetration into the opponent’s backfield from any one of the defensive linemen is the fastest and most efficient way to disrupt the offense. This scheme doesn’t “protect” linebackers against pulling guards. It’s designed to stop run plays before the pulling guard’s block can have an effect at the second level.

Who?

I'm right there with you!

What is better for us, them taking Kyler or Bosa? I haven't really pondered it that much. My initial reaction is that it's better if they take Bosa
