PromoTheRobot Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 (edited) UB's next 4 games (5 if they make the MAC championship) will be televised on one of the ESPN networks (2, U or 3). It's an opportunity to get familiar with LB Khalil Mack and see if the guy is a legit first rounder. (Imagine Mack along side Kiko!) Tonight: vs Ohio, ESPN2 8pm Tue 11/12: @ Toledo, ESPNU/3 7:30pm Tue 11/19: @ Miami(OH), ESPN2/U 8pm Fri 11/29: vs Bowling Green, ESPNU/3 1:30pm. A list of UB and NCAA records Mack could break this year. PTR Edited November 5, 2013 by PromoTheRobot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt. Dan's Revenge Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Mack is a beast. Will be an absolute stud OLB in the NFL. Can set the edge against the run, rush the passer and is adept in coverage. Sign me up for taking him in April if at all possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBaumer Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I think the Bills need that Carolina TE in the first. Just like QB, Buffalo has neglected this position for far too long. The offense needs to step it up big time next year and that is the position that will do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I don't think Bills can justify taking an LB that high based on other needs. As a Buckeye fan I watched him destroy our very good OL anbd outrun two 4.3 guys on a pick 6 in week one so I am sold, but think he'll be gone by the time LB is addressed.

Tsaikotic Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 just a question..would you rather have Mack next to Kiko or would you rather have a wr corp of Mike Evans, Woods, S.Johnson and M. Goodwin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I love the way he plays, and would love to have him on our team. It will be interesting to see where we draft and what our top needs will be come draft day, but Mack could be in the mix. By the way, that article was brutal.

I'd like them to get Mack, i think that would awesome but they won't take a LB in round 1. If not Mack, I'd like to see Buffalo grab Oliver or maybe Neutz at some point. It would be great to see one of these NFL talents stay in the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NishP Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I like Mac a lot but we could also grab shayne skov or Michael sams later on to try and pick up a bigger need in the first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they go tight end, it better be Jace Amaro from Texas Tech. Jimmy Graham-clone. Edit: Apologies Beerball, didn't see you mention Amaro earlier. Agreed, though! Edited November 5, 2013 by Lt.

playman Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 i´d rate TE a bigger need than LB, but any way you take the BPA. so if it happens to be mack when we pick i´m delighted. it it is a premier TE, too. even if we can get a hand on a bookend OT. heck, even a future HOF OG though we might pick a little high for OG :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its harder to get a top notch OLB later in the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills of Boston Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Serefin-Jenkins (TE from UW) is also someone to keep an eye on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brand J Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 If they go tight end, it better be Jace Amaro from Texas Tech. Jimmy Graham-clone. TTU used to be my stomping grounds. From the Red Raider games I've seen this year, Amaro sporadically tends to have the case of the dropsies. He'll make a tough catch and then drop an easy one. Can't remember the game (KSU?), but I remember him dropping THREE straight passes on ONE drive! If the inconsistency continues on the NFL level, don't be surprised if he never fulfills his potential.

JStranger76 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Eric Ebron from North Carolina is the TE who would make this offense complete, besides 2 more linemen lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
808 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 i like sefarian jenkins out of UW more than the carolina TE but i think we could use another LB mack would be awesome but i think they'd look at CJ mosley first. little bit more versatile can go inside to play with kiko and bump out to lob too. but if i have a choice id like mack in the first and a TE or a guard in the second Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4BillsintheBurgh Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I'm all for taking a TE in the first round the year after we make the playoffs. Until then we have bigger needs to address. Mack would be nice but I hope a top rated DL is available that will finally put our run defense well into the top half of the league.

jaybee Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Looking forward to watching this game. I'll also be paying attention to DB Tomarris Bell. I work with his dad Billy ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Doug Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Another point of view would be not which TE can we get, but who can we grab to neutralize opposing TEs. That seems to be more of a problem for us rather than giving EJ another receiver (when it seems he has plenty and Woods should be a stud next season).

NewEra Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 (edited) Mack is a beast and I think he'd fit in perfectly. Hughes is a FA. He and kiko would be a great combo. That being said, I think he'll be gone by the time we pick. I'm thinking 12-16 I'd also be happy with mike evans, WR Texas A&M. 6'5 225, sticky hands and 4.45ish speed. If we went the route of a TE, I'd be on board. Sefarian-Jenkins is a specimen. Edited November 6, 2013 by NewEra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 If the season ended today we would pick 9. Mack would most definitely still be available. A game changing TE would be preferred but are there any out there worthy of a top 10 pick? That would be pretty rare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems to be more of a problem for us rather than giving EJ another receiver (when it seems he has plenty and Woods should be a stud next season). It's a problem for everybody given the NFL rules in the passing game. That's why the TE is such a big weapon if you can find a guy, and the Bills are late to the party. Most DB's can't cover 6'7" basketball players. At least not one on one, those guys don't exist in NFL defenses. We need a TE way more than another db. You just can't cover 'em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think with linebackers if you get one with great pass rushing ability that guy is a game changer. I do think that Mack might fit that description. I agree that TE is very high on the needs list and would really help this team to put two viable TE's on the field at the same time. On this team the TE's need to block because Spiller is often a block away from putting 6 on the board. The offensive line need is great as well.

I very much like what I saw in person. (sorry for the hijack PTR) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
