Astrobot Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 Interesting that on about 10 runs Boyd was always there in the 6th. And Johnny Football fell to the 2nd in many rounds. I found that it was best when I chose Robinson in the 1st. I never got the chance for Astro's R1 - OT GREG ROBINSON R2 - TE AUSTIN SEFERIAN-JENKINS R3 - ILB SHAYNE SKOV That would be draft heaven. It was a learning experience. I found myself pressured in the 4th round to draft a safety, thinking about Byrd probably being gone. It even messed up my draft board and strategy when Clinton -Dix was there in the 2nd and I could not refuse. It was a fun sim that really got you thinking and realizing how when talent falls and you can't refuse, it really ruins your strategy. I have tried it several times with Watkins as our first rounder, then Austin Seferian-Jenkins in the 2nd. I don't get a chance at a OG in RD 3 or 4. I sure hope we get a Guard by FA.

I don't get a chance at a OG in RD 3 or 4. I sure hope we get a Guard by FA. I found the same thing when I took Watkins. I never was able to draft any decent OL when I took Watkins. I lost out on ASJ and also never could get either Borland or Skov at LB as well. Hope that is just the sim. As you said OL was a lost cause when I went WR in the first.I sure hope FA would work is that was the case in real life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A guy they have rated much higher but don't necessarily have a need is available. It has to make for some interesting draft rooms! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombstone56 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 gotta give props to the website, if you tryit you can see how if you alter the 1st rd you can see how even the 1st pick changes how the late picks are affected . good site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanker Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 The 3 guys I'd want next to Alonso are Mosley (RD1), Skov (RD2--won't last like this sim shows), or Borland (RD3). I haven't watched enough of Max Bullough, Yawin Smallwood, or Andrew Jackson to know. Telvin Smith is too small although he always is in the play--likely not an NFL runstopper. If we don't get Skov, what about Kyle Van Noy? He flies around a lot like Kiko too. http://youtu.be/9EDaiV0VoBM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdBlueNorth Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Love that first draft! Am I the only one that likes Louis Nix III? I know it's not a need, but man he's a beast. Would definitely help stop the run. I would not mind Nix if the Bills trade down. His injury and the Bill's lack of success in landing good two-gap run-stoppers makes me hesitant about that pick. If you think about it, the last good two-gap run stuffer the Bills landed was undrafted Pat Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yungmack Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 A couple of names keep showing up here that just don't make sense. First up is Borland. The guy is a midget in an era when the trend is towards big and fast. I cannot see him fitting in with the current Bills at all. The second is Tajh Boyd. Wow. Have you seen him play? At best, he's a project and the last thing the Bills need is yet another "Project with Potential" QB considering they already have 3 of those. Better to pick up an established backup. But if you absolutely, positively must draft a middle-of-the-pack QB, there are a bunch of them and you could start with McCarron or Derek Carr (who actually does have upside potential in my opinion). And could we stop with the TE mania in the first round, as if that was the one big thing keeping the Bills out of the SB? As to guys like Skov, Seferian-Jenkins, Ha Ha Clinton-Dix and Yankey, I wonder which of them will still be there in the second and third rounds. On the plus side, I'm intrigued by the mention of Su'a-Filo and Zumwalt out of UCLA in later rounds along with Christian Jones of FSU. With the Combine coming up, I'd recommend checking out Cassius Marsh of UCLA. He's a fast and quick 260 lb DE with sideline-to-sideline speed who's kind of under the radar nationally. And he hits hard. If he's there in the fifth round or later, he might make for an interesting LB experiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maury Ballstein Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Boyd's ACC all time leader in Td's. Not a project IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 If we don't get Skov, what about Kyle Van Noy? He flies around a lot like Kiko too. http://youtu.be/9EDaiV0VoBM They are different types of players but I love Van Noy as well. He flies around the football field. I would not be the least bit upset if he were the Bills 2nd round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sumin Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 R1 Jake Matthews, OT R2 David Yankey, OG R3 Shayne Skov, ILB R4 Brandon Coleman, WR R5 Aaron Murray, QB R6 Storm Johnson, RB R7 Xavier Grimble, TE The playmakers I wanted in my draft were all taken in the first round- as a result I took Yankey in the 2nd as BPA. Wouldn't be a bad thing to beef up the OLine. Storm Johnson and Aaron Murray were both excellent values in later rounds. I took BPA for the majority of the draft but felt TE and WR were lacking as they were taken in bunches early. Marquise Lee was drafted 5! Watkins 2! Jeez..

1billsfan Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 (edited) I pretended to make a trade with the Browns which involved the Bills giving the #9 pick to the Browns for picks #26, #35, #83. It was close enough on the draft trade chart and if the Browns want to pair their new QB with a great WR like Watkins if he fell to #9, then I could see it happening. So then on a "Browns" simulator I picked Manziel for their first pick, then I made the picks and pieced together this Bills draft... Rd 1 / #26 WR KELVIN BENJAMIN / FLORIDA STATE Rd 2 / #35 G XAVIER SU’A-FILO / UCLA Rd 2 / #41 OT ANTONIO RICHARDSON / TENNESSEE Rd 3 / #73 TE TROY NIKLAS / NOTRE DAME Rd 3 / #83 ILB CHRISTIAN JONES / FLORIDA STATE This draft would be nuts IMO.
