thebandit27 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I don't see lb as a glaring need because rex only plays 2 and we have 2 strong starters. We do need one or two for depth and numbers but I don't see going there this early. They need a starting OL imo. Not only do they not know what they will get from Kouandjio but they simply need more tackles. They need a OL who can play multiple positions. Don't forget Manny Lawson; he's capable of playing 40% of the defensive snaps for this team in either front. I missed the second half of the draft last night and am still catching up on who got picked. Noticed a bunch of OL started going though. So who is left for us to choose from if we wanted to go that direction? Round 2 possibilities: Jake Fisher T.J. Clemmings A.J. Cann Donovan Smith Round 3 possibilities: Ali Marpet Daryl Williams Jarvis Harrison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted May 1, 2015 Author Share Posted May 1, 2015 I have no idea where the Bills will go now but I suspect that OL is still the plan. This offseason Leonard Williams, Malcom Brown and Ndamukong Suh all entered the division to play on the interior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Is it possible that Landon Collins falls to 50? That would make for an interesting discussion in our War Room IMO I think I've seen there are some concerns about Collins as a NFL safety. He is almost like a LB and seems like he could get abused in coverage. That said, if Rex picks him, I'm good with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, evaluators are painting him as a box safety and somewhat a liability in coverage. But doesn't Rex mostly use his SS in the box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, if Rex picks him, I'm good with it. you mean kind of like a landry? the obvious 4 pass rushers, bradham/brown, gilmore, williams/williams, and a rotation of collins/leodis/graham as the 5th db might be a pretty solid base defense.

I think if he gets past the Giants (who might prefer Eric Rowe since he is much better in coverage) there's a good chance he gets to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me, I won't second guess any defensive picks by Rex. IMO, it's very hard to evaluate Alabama players because their team is so loaded. It's a lot easier to shine when you have blue chippers all around you. Mark Barron was thought to be a can't miss guy and has been traded already. But I'll go with Rex for defense.

This offseason Leonard Williams, Malcom Brown and Ndamukong Suh all entered the division to play on the interior. Very true...it's not only the position that's critical, but the type of player. They need a mauler-type to compete with those guys. As funny as this sounds, that's why I think they may wait until round 3 to take an OLmen, since the maulers all have 3rd round grades IMO: Daryl Williams (converted tackle), John Miller, Jarvis Harrison, Tre Jackson. There's another late-round guy that I like quite a bit as well: Quinton Spain of West Virginia. I posted a thread about him a while back...he's huge and nasty, and held his own against Jordan Phillips last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Barron was thought to be a can't miss guy and has been traded already. But I'll go with Rex for defense. on the plus side, we have a team loaded with blue chip talent on defense and can target highly effective role players instead of trying to force a guy to be a cornerstone. if at 50 we get a guy that can be a difference maker in packages, ill be happy.

Dragonborn10 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Is it possible that Landon Collins falls to 50? That would make for an interesting discussion in our War Room IMO No discussion needed. He would be the pick. Safety and DE depth are big needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
