JPS Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Seriously, if they took Fuller in the 1st, I am done. No one franchise can own that much stupidity and spread it across several management regimes. It's just not possible. My guess is…it's the smokescreen to get Pittsburgh or another team to trade up to 9 for a CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kellyto83TD Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 LMAO after all these years you guys still buy all the smoke and BS coming from OBD. They're not looking at Fuller as a possibility at #9...That much I can pretty much guarantee...In a trade down, or in the 2nd maybe (if he slides a bit)...But not at #9...No way...

Astrobot Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Fuller's skillset matches the Bills' prototype in the backfield. One of the most versatile players in the Draft, Fuller can play outside at Corner, inside at Nickel, back deep at Safety, and has even played in the box as a Linebacker . His versatility is unmatched. However, not at 9. There are several teams on the 19-29 slots that want backfield, and we're checking Fuller's value to us vs value of a tradedown. or two.

SJDK Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 (edited) I really think that it's not a smoke screen and they are going their due diligence in putting together a BPA list. Now the smokescreen will come when they talk to other scouts but I feel like they are putting themselves in a position to get good value if a trade down offer happens that they can't refuse.

Reed83HOF Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 Pretty misleading thread title...how about a change to "Kyle Fuller Visits One Bills Drive"? How is it misleading? The draft has yet to happen and accordingly we have drafted no one thus far. It is no different than OT in RD 1 or WR in RD1.... If I put a question mark after it, would it make that much different??

maryland-bills-fan Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Some interesting things about the cornerback and safety position- if we can speculate from the Bills pre-draft visitors and one list (Walter Football's 5 round mock draft, is what I used here- nothing special and had to start somewhere) FIRST, the safety position. Since we lost all-world&universe Jaris Byrd, one might suspect that the Bills would be bringing in safeties by the dozens to desperately search for a replacement. "Walter's" mock shows the following number of safeties drafted in each round. ROUND ONE= 3, ROUND TWO= 3, ROUND THREE= 4, ROUND FOUR= 5, ROUND FIVE= 2. Number that the Bills have brought in for a look-see? ZERO. Hint, they seem to feel that the safety position is not a priority. SECOND, the cornerback position. What I have in the following list is the {{{round/overall pick}}} that "walter" has a CB being drafted as well as which ones have the Bills brought it. 1/11 ..................................................#9 a Bills pick 1/13 Roby(Ohio State)....BILLS BROUGHT HIM IN 1/24 2/46 2/34 Fuller(V Tech)....BILLS BROUGHT HIM IN ..................................................#41 a Bills pick 2/51 2/56 3/73 Breeland....BILS BROUGH HIM IN..............#72 a Bills pick 3/86 3/89 3/90 3/99 .....................................................#105 a Bills pick 4/125 4/126 4/134 ...........................................................#137 a Bills pick 5/159....Aikens (Liberty)....BILLS BROUGH HIM IN 5/168....Cockrell (Duke)...BILLS BROUGH HIM IN ..............................................................#169 a Bills pick 5/174 5/176...Gaines (Rice).....BILLS BROUGH HIM IN To me the following might be. The Bills are planning on picking a CB with their 5th round pick and, the Bills are setting the table for a trade down of their first, second or third round picks by somebody desperate to get the CB that they had in for a visit. Maybe they might draft one themselves, but with RIGHT OT, DE, LB, OG and TE as higher needs, I don't see that happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I don't think they go corner in round one, but if they do trade back some of those guys might be in the conversation as BPA. I agree with mayrland bills fan above - I think the Bills feel comfortable with converting Graham to safety and are going to look for another corner somewhere in this draft (although I suspect their preference is to take a guy in the middle rounds rather than early).

YoloinOhio Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Joe Buscaglia @JoeBuscaglia 1m Why are the #Bills bringing in so many CBs for visits? It could be viewed as a sneaky, longterm need.

thebandit27 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 How is it misleading? The draft has yet to happen and accordingly we have drafted no one thus far. It is no different than OT in RD 1 or WR in RD1.... If I put a question mark after it, would it make that much different?? IMO it was misleading. The crux of the PFT item was that Fuller was visiting the Bills...the thread title seemed to imply that the discussion would center around the idea that the Bills will be taking a CB in round 1. It's just my opinion, but I feel that the title and content were not in concert with each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryland-bills-fan Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 (edited) They definitely will draft a CB in the 5th round as that is where the three small school, under-the-radar guys are likely to be taken. In the first three rounds, they have brought in (see my post #28 above) guys who would very likely be available at the Bills' pick in each of the first three rounds. I can see two reasons for this. The first is that the Bills are showing other teams that they just might take that CB with their pick. (Why else bring the CB in for a look?). If another team has him high on their draft board and are hoping that he falls to them, they might want to move up a couple of places to be sure of getting him. We get more picks in a deep draft that can be used for either the additional pick, to bundle and used to move up a lower round pick, or we might get a next-highest round pick in 2015. .....OR, they might just pick another corner- maybe because other targeted players all got taken. I think the round 1,2,3 cornerback visits is a draft day ploy by a ONES BILLS DRIVE team that moved down in the draft last year. Sneaky guys.
