H2o Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 (edited) Pleased with the first two rounds overall. Got a guy I didn't think would be there in the 1st and then a ILB who was projected to go in the 1st in the 2nd. Nice haul so far Edited April 30, 2016 by H2o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed83HOF Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Whelp, if you want to believe Whaley they got the top 2 guys they were considering at 19. It was a position of need, they filled it. Now...DT, WR, S and I'll feel more comfortable going into 2016. I really wanted a WR, but not sure how much we will really use them with a run first offense and Watkins, Woods, Clay and Shady....

dubs Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 When people say a 2 down LB what do they mean? Does that mean all teams run the ball on 1st and 2nd down and that's all he'll play? It means if a player subs out in packages he's terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4merper4mer Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 They seemed solid under Schwartz, but weren't they a letdown last season? To the point where Preston will now probably be kicked to the curb. It's a fact of life with Rex but there is no sense blaming Ragland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webster Guy Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 When did 4th round picks become gold? Seriously is there anything that would make some of you happy? Some people will never like any pick. If you get two impact starters in any draft you're lucky. It only cost us a pair of 4th rounders i'll take it. I like Whaley's style.

Clemson Bills Fan Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 (edited) I like the pick. Everyone talks about how it's a waste of money to have Marcel at NT, so why spend an early pick when we can wait until the mid to late rounds to grab a big boy? Like someone said DJ reader could be a plug and play, and I also like Nile Lawrence-Stample out of FSU in the later rounds. We needed a legitimate LB in the draft, and we got one. Also, I am seeing more info about how similar Alabama's scheme is to ours, which is a good head start.

Reed83HOF Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Joe Chenelly @jchenelly 32s33 seconds ago Reggie Ragland was THE on-field leader of the national champion's defense. Leadership is so key, and was lacking on the #Bills D last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
section122 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 @buffalobills We love you too, Reggie! 5 things you need to know about our new LB, Reggie Ragland: http://bufbills.co/WPIIzG Punishes receivers on shallow crossing routes? Love it. That's where Brady makes his living. It would be nice to see Edelman get lit up so he has something to think about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty McFly Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 If we do get a good NT I'll be better with this pick, but man... it's a tough pill to swallow for me, taking an ILB when a huge, impact NT in Jerran Reed was there. Gotta get that top NT to free up the ILBs to make plays. Im also surprised with the pick and that we traded up just to get Ragland. Wont make a real judgement till I see who else gets drafted and where in this round. 3rd round we probably go WR, QB, S or NT/DT. Joe Chenelly @jchenelly 32s33 seconds ago Reggie Ragland was THE on-field leader of the national champion's defense. Leadership is so key, and was lacking on the #Bills D last year. Yes this is where I understand the pick, and the fact we have no stand out LBs on the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDBillzFan Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Did we have a second round pick before we made the selection? Did we have a 4th this year and next? How many do we have now? That's investing 3 picks into a guy who didn't play 3rd down in NCG and to top it off he has heart problems. So we had a pick in the second round, we used the pick to get this guy in the second round, and that means we lost the pick? Leeeee Haarrrvey. YOU are a MADMAN! I want to party with you, cowboy!

K-9 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Well, if his interview with John Murphy is any indication, I think we may have found a very mature young man in Reggie Ragland. I seem to recall he dispelled some of the "two down" concerns during his week at the Senior Bowl. I hope that's true. GO BILLS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1billsfan Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 (edited) None taken, Talley was a warrior, Warriors aren't the way of the NFL anymore. The game is trending in a totally different direction and adapting is paramount. The NFL may WANT to trend toward the pass game, however the majority of the NFL QBs worth anything are nearing 40 years old. I simply don’t see the top QB talent being replenished. The running game is going to make a comeback when these young QBs start proving they can’t play like Brady, Manning, Brees…ect.

4merper4mer Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Trade up was probably wise as we jumped Baltimore who took Correa. If we liked Ragland that much then why risk it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get those guys in the middle rounds usually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
