thebandit27 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 The Bills will draft one of the 3 OL that fall to them. They drafted two WR's last year and one the year before. Marrone wants to be a running team and Pears is weaker than Woods and Stevie Johnson at there positions. Plenty of WR in the draft. The Best way to help EJ is to take pressure off of him and pound the rock. We are using the Seattle blue print. The Seattle blueprint is hardly based on having a dominant OL...their OL was brutal last year. The Seattle blueprint is based on fielding a dominant defense and an offense with speed at the skill positions. PS - I wouldn't call it gospel, but if Kirby is saying the Bills are targeting a WR, then you can consider it very likely to be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Things could happen to change that (ie St. Louis takes Watkins and Cleveland panics and takes Evans). That is not a likely scenario but could change their approach. If the draft board plays out in a manner that most are projecting than WR will be the pick (Watkins or Evans).

TPS Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I'd be happy with taking the cousins with first two picks--Mathews and niklas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume they are targeting more than one and not only at the first pick There are nice players in the second round too . But Mike Evans might be a nice rounding out of skill sets for the Bills WRs for long term success Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsCelticsAngelsBama Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Let's just draft WR's in one of the first three rounds every year . But if we do, Evans over Ebron any day, every day. would take Marqise Lee, Jordan Matthews or Kelvin Benjamin before Ebron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manther Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Evans is my choice. He has been for at least 6 weeks. My fear is as the closer we get to the draft the higher his value is going. I hope he does not go before #9! And, as someone mentioned prior, I now feel some team could actually trade up for him. That is not something that I thought was possible until his trade value has been increasingly rising. EVANS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is a run on QBs, I think Evans will be there. If he's not there still will be a really good player at 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOVEMESOMEBILLS Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I'd be happy with taking the cousins with first two picks--Mathews and niklas. If Watkins and Evans are gone I'd be on board with this. Niklas looks like he could be a beast and he's just learning the position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 MARSHAWN LYNCH? Peterson is even better but I don't think that you'd be advocating to follow the Vikings model? Seattle's OL was ranked in the 20's I believe. They won because they took care of the football and often had a short field. Their defense didn't give up many yards and was at or near the top of the league in turnovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tomcat Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Heres what I think... Mack, Clowney and Watkins will be gone along with 2 tackles. Thats 5 there. IF the qbs slip we may not get Evans either. The QBs being selected early is the key for us. I'm having concerns they might slip then its either plan C or even D. Lets hope the QB hype is real and we all can be high fiving May 8th. I'd love to grab Evans but I can see him being gone by the time we pick.

Watkins 5. Evans 6. Mathews I'd be quite happy with any of those at #9. I could live with Lewan or Ebron, but I'd rather trade down than take either.

BuffaloRebound Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Experts seem to think this is a deep draft for WR's. Wouldn't rule out pass rusher like Barr at #9 or Mack if he falls. Get your big WR or TE in the 2nd round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Bills Fan Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Now that the Rams signed Britt I think Watkins is a lock to the Browns at #4 CBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubs Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) Interesting take from CNNSI here. Have Bills taking Mack at #9. First time I've seen him dropping this far. http://nfl.si.com/20...el-3/?eref=sihp This guy also has Ebron falling to the Pats. Mack to the Bills, Ebron to the Pats?? Seems like a classic uninformed guy trying do a mock based on obvious fits. (Mack from UB, Gronk and AH out so Pats reload with Ebron).

I'd love to grab Evans but I can see him being gone by the time we pick. The slipping of QB's doesn't really matter to me at all. I would agree 100% and bet that Clowney, Robinson, Matthews, Watkins and Mack are all gone before #9. So what does that leave the Bills? Evans, Lewan and Barr. To me, it really doesn't matter if ALL of the QB's slip, which I would bet they don't. Buffalo will have an interesting conundrum on draft day, because I think there's going to be as many as 4 players of value available to them at #9.

Kirby Jackson Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 thanks Kirby No problem, I had been waiting for some hints from this person but they kind of took the suspense away. They 100% know. Crazy things can happen as we are still a month away but after hearing that I have no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
