CommonCents Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Pat Williams could rush the passer. Gerald McCoy, Geno Atkins, John Randle, Suh, Donald, Kyle, Kawaan Short had 11 sacks last year. The quickest way to a QB is right up the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Hopefully they can grab a space eater in the 4th or 5th. Maybe they feel like they can nab a vet NT as Rex's NT's have never been high up picks. Seems like Adolphus is a long term replacement for Kyle. Don't love the pick, don't hate it. Good to see that they are loading up on front 7 talent. In the past 4-5 drafts the front office seems to be in tune with what the needs on the roster are.

Webster Guy Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Just seems like a need pick - can't imagine he was BPA on their board... I think the opposite. He was bpa so they took him despite a rotational pass rusher not being a major need because the guy is a beast. We really needed a offense in that spot, but this is what you get with Rex. Who needs offense? The genius Rex has it all under control. Uh, Rex doesn't decide who we draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincec Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 (edited) Another miracle! Best player available AND at a position of need. Can't believe he was still there. Bills had a first round grade on him... Etc. Edited April 30, 2016 by vincec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chilly Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Adolphus was a 5 star defensive end from Cincinnati that committed to The Ohio State University before Urban Meyer got the head coaching gig. He is huge and very athletic (could be playing in the NBA if he wanted to). Washington is a natural Defensive End and actually got the starting gig for the Buckeyes over Joey Bosa. But an injury sidelined him, Bosa came in and never relinquished the spot. So, (because he was so versatile) Urban Meyer asked him to move to Defensive Tackle, where he gained weight and dominated for two years. I have no doubt that Bosa would not have had the career he had without Washington lining up next to him. Adolphus Washington can become anything Rex wants him to become. Think of a Swiss army knife. His potential is limitless. You're saying that Adolphus Washington is... http://www.zombo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purple haze Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Rotational DT. Not really excited. He's fine. Kyle can't play forever. Rotation is good for now. If Rex can get consistency out of him in the next couple years, he could be a very good starter once KW retires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonborn10 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Bad bad bad. They could have stayed where they were in second round and had this guy in the 4th. Gave up too much for Ragland. This guy just let's them dump Kyle next year. Very costly insurance policy for Kyle this year. No help at WR or OT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 @walterfootball Grade for the #Bills picking #OSU DT Adolphus Washington - http://walterfootball.com/nfldraftgrades3.php Buffalo Bills: Adolphus Washington, DT, Ohio State C+ Grade Adolphus Washington was one of the worst testers at the NFL Combine. His stock sunk as a result, as teams weren't interested in one of the worst athletes in the entire draft class. Washington's size is a plus, but that's all he has. Making matters worse, there are some character concerns with him, albeit minor ones. The Bills probably could've obtained Washington a round later.

Webster Guy Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Robert Woods is a legitimate #2. We already have him. You can't say that on this board. Everyone thinks he's just a good blocker and a special teams guy, even though he has great hands, durability and gets open. But some college 3rd round pick was gonna come in camp and show Woods how its done in the NFL. Right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommonCents Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Some dude named Dareus is certainly not bad at it either... Yeah another penetrating DT in Washington just allows for more multiple fronts which is what Rex loves to do. We will embarrass some teams that aren't able to exploit our backers, I remain worried about our LB's and safeties in coverage. Certainly do have a handful of teams that won't be able to take advantage of that though. Ravens, Rams, Jetsx2, Phinsx2, 9ers, Browns. Could be an easy 8 wins vs. teams that struggle to get the ball out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent 91 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Would he be a 3-4 end? Signing Corbin back and Dareus... what exactly is Rex's defense.... we have lawson who is going to play? Outside backer? Ragland in the middle? Are they staying with the nose we already have in Barnes? Are we going to run that "multiple front". Whats going on?

purple haze Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Yes we needed a safety and a WR and either would have seen substantial playing time if not start. This guy is only going to play on 3rd downs if ever He'll rotate in during nickel situations. You can't draft only for today. The GM has to be concerned with the long term as well. Kyle is closer to the end than the beginning. Washington has talent to be more than a rotational player. And for now, rotational player is all he needs to be. Dareus and Kyle need breathers. Bryant and Washington can rotate in. I don't see what's so difficult about that concept. Charles and Carrington are not coming back. Wynn is moved to OLB. Need DL who can play different spots on the line. We don't need a starting WR. Woods can do that. Safety we need, but that's why they signed Blanton. And the draft is not over. They might still draft a S, WR and QB and get UDFA's at those positions as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent 91 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 A little off topic...But I think we just said goodbye Connor Cook, Dak Prescott, and Cardale Jones...We'll see if I'm right...But I doubt any of those 3 will be there when #139 comes around... I have already said bye bye to them. Its pretty sad to think. They are "all in" on EJ evidently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
