machine gun kelly Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Every time i think about Robert Nkemdiche, or Spence at 19, I'm going to watch the Manziel recent video, and read about Gordon failing again recently his drug test. That's enough for me never to gamble on a 1st, or even maybe a 2nd round pick. The risk reward is too high when there are so many other more reliable players you don't have to worry they will fall out of hotel rooms drunk, or dropping ex.

Unless someone trades back up from the 2nd into the bottom of the first to get him and he isn't their first pick. Just a hunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think Nkemdiche may see the same thing happen...In another year they may get pushed up a bit...But if you really need or want D-line this year there are other very good options that will likely be available in the 1st...

I think teams will be open to taking them but just don't think anyone wants them to be their "face of the 2016 draft" as the 1st round picks are usually much celebrated and paraded around by each team. I think with Nkemdiche it's an image/risk issue (he's a lot like Randy Gregory from last year) and with spence it's a trust issue.

26CornerBlitz Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 @PFF Purely from an on-field perspective, Ole Miss DT Robert Nkemdiche is a risky first-round pick. Here's why: https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2016/04/13/draft-why-robert-nkemdiche-ranks-among-buyer-beware-d-line-prospects/ 1. Robert Nkemdiche, DT, Ole Miss 2. Kevin Dodd, DE, Clemson 3.

26CornerBlitz Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 @nfldraftscout Good Chris Jones is a top 15 player. Bad Chris Jones is a third-rounder. NFL teams will bet on the higher upside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A’Shawn Robinson, DT, Alabama interesting take on those 3. I wonder what folks here think would the best of them for the Bills.

26CornerBlitz Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 @RyanTalbotBills Vernon Butler made his pre-draft visit with the Bills on Thursday.

Blokestradamus Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 V. Butler NFL COMPARISON Muhammad Wilkerson http://www.nfl.com/draft/2016/profiles/vernon-butler?id=2555243 That comparison is doing the guy no favours. He's not even close to being like Mo. Vernon is a base NT for the Bills with little pass rush ability. Take elements of his technique and put that with Chris Jones' athletic profile and maybe you come closer. You want to try and mould the next Wilkerson, take Jones instead. You can teach technique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree re Jones being closer to Wilkerson As to Butler, I think Jonathan Hankins is the better comparison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 So Yo, is Shaq the guy if available? I saw a mock somewhere that had him falling to Carolina.i think he would be but he hasn't visited. Not that it means they wouldn't take him if he fell to 19 (I do think he's a top 10 talent) but they have never drafted a player in the first who didn't visit since Whaley got here in 2010.

I really hope in the next few days, they announce visits for Lawson and Spence. If Ogbah is their pass rusher of choice, I might hit the roof.

Either it's an elaborate smoke screen or Jones is way up the Bills board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloRebound Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 With all the DL talent in this draft, can't see Bills using pick #19 on one. If they could trade back with Denver, pick #31 would probably be a sweet spot for a guy like nkemdiche. If Bills can't find trade partner, I think they go with one of the OT's at #19.
