truth on hold Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 (edited) Assuming the top 8 stayed the same, starting @ 9 the next 10 available guys were: Anthony Barr, LB Eric Ebron, TE Taylor Lewin, OT Odell Beckham, WR Aaron Donald, DT Kyle Fuller, CB Ryan Shazier, LB Zack Martin, G C. J. Mosely, LB Calvin Pryor, S My guess is Lewin since we know they went OT in Rd2. And then best TE available in Rd2 which would have been Jace Amaro. Edited September 8, 2014 by Joe_the_6_pack
Hazed and Amuzed Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 I thought I read somewhere that Whaley said Ebron would've been the pick. I may be wrong
johnwalter Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 shazier and pryor are going to be very good, pro-bowl-calliber players.
Johnny Hammersticks Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 I suspected Zack Martin was high up on their board. As was Odell Beckham. I'd have to go with Martin...seems like a Marrone type of guy.

Augie Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 At 9 it was early, but Kelvin Benjamin has been making waves and the type of guy they talked about. I've only seen highlights and the catch against us. Pretty good from what I've seen. Trade back and get him and I'd be happy. (But then again, what do I know?) Shazier looks like a good one.
Deranged Rhino Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Ebron, at least according to the Bills.

I hope so, I have faith in Whaley. we'll get our first glimpse of Ebron tonight w/ Lions I had serious doubts about his game translating to the pro level ... I know Chris Brown speculated he would have been our pick, but I have doubts someone that undisciplined appealed to their "win-now" sensibility
GunnerBill Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Yea - they were always going offensive weapon for EJ.... if it wasn't Watkins it was going to be Ebron.
Fixxxer Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 I read Donald had a great debut on a very bad day for the Rams.
John from Riverside Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Given how our TE's are playing I absolutely would have went Ebron.......or even ASJ
Lothar Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 I am so glad we didn't pick Ebron. The reports out of Detroit have not been good with regard to his hands - and that's the same thing I read in scouting reports - how often he dropped the ball is high for a supposed elite tight end. In retrospect Shazier might have been the best pick.

That's why I always said it was a good trade. Watkins is likely going to be better than Ebron and X, considering that about half of the first rounders are somewhat busts. Let's take it a step further. Most people agree that a #2 this year is equal to a #1 next year. How about Watkins for Ebron and Kujo?

aristocrat Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Benjamin is a freak. I love sammy but I think if we could have done a trade back and grabbed another 2nd we would have had a great draft.

Detroit went through a string of drafting "can't-miss" WRs in the 1st before getting a great one. And, with the premise that half 1st rounders are busts, you have twice the chance of not get a bust if you draft 2 (2014 & 2015) than just 1 (2014).

Eric Ebron is a bust. he can't catch and isn't special in any physical category. he is just a guy. If the Bills were gonna take Ebron it would have been like not having a 2014 1st. That makes the trade even better.

If you cant see that Watkins doesnt fall in that category I dont even know what to tell you. Watkins is "special"....he doesnt even fall into the group of very good wrs.....he falls into its only a matter of time before he starts domianting games
DanInUticaTampa Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 has to be ebron or Beckham. Glad we have sammy. I wouldnt have made the trade, but i do applaud it. Whaly's GM career will live and die by this pick.
