OldTimeAFLGuy Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Draft Analyst's Tony Pauline reports if the Browns fail to land UNC QB Mitchell Trubisky in the first round, Cal QB Davis Webb will be the target at No. 33 overall. On Tuesday, Pauline reported Webb is drawing a ton of interest from teams at the top of Round 2. He's expected to be one of the first five quarterbacks off the board, and there was some chatter earlier this month that Webb has a chance to go in the first round. If the Browns are unable to move up from No. 12 overall to get to Trubisky, they could be in position to go with Clemson's Deshaun Watson, but it's unclear who Cleveland prefers as their Plan B behind Trubisky.

CommonCents Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 (edited) And split Howard out as well, or just go 2 TEs and smash the ball I love the offense configurations we can have. Plus Clay's back seems to be a bit suspect and when his contract is up in 2 seasons he won't be back... An easy argument against Howard is that the Bills don't pass the ball enough, perhaps a better sticking point is that with the 10th pick they can potentially take the best WR in the draft. Whether that is Davis, Williams, or Ross is up to them to decide. WR feels like a much safer pick than a TE that high and would have more impact from day 1. Any pass catcher at 10 is not my preference, not with this offense and not with TT as QB. Edited April 26, 2017 by Commonsense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any pass catcher at 10 is not my preference, not with this offense and not with TT as QB. A big TE who can pass block and create mismatches is any QBs friend; although you do have a point about TT. Just remember TT is stop-gap/bridge QB. A great TE is a young QBs best friend (well it should be at least) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remember TT is stop-gap/bridge QB. A great TE is a young QBs best friend (well it should be at least) to me it is clear that the Bills are not sold on TT long term and that the new offense values TEs. Since this draft pick will not be just for this season, it would be wise to take him if he's that high on the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remember TT is stop-gap/bridge QB. A great TE is a young QBs best friend (well it should be at least) The offense and QB would lessen his impact. The questions about his toughness and want to, are alarming. A TE is going to be getting smashed by a bunch of rabid dogs for the duration of his career, you have to love contact. Is this kid Eric Ebron with Hands? Julius Thomas? Kelce Maybe? Are you happy with a player like that at 10? The great TE's love contact.

norton20 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 ok, our Top 5 on our board: In order 1. Solomon Thomas- DE Stanford 2. Corey Davis- WR W. Mich 3. Marshon Lattimore- CB OS 4. OJ Howard - TE Bama 5. John Ross- WR Wash Imo Still the same Leroi? Any word on subsequent rounds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they stay at #10 names on radar OJ Howard/Mike Williams/Lattimore So basically there's supposed interest in Thomas / Howard / Lattimore / Davis / Ross / Mike Williams. Thomas is almost guaranteed to be gone. Howard and Lattimore might be on the board but leaning towards likely gone. Which leaves the 3 WRs, assuming they have them all pretty closely evaluated and all 3 are still there at 10 they should move back into the 15-18 range and take who ever is left.

GunnerBill Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 The Pats have Tom Brady and an offensive line that can pass block without having to ask one of their tight ends to help the right tackle. The Bills do not have either of those luxuries. I am sorry but the Pats line was worse than ours in 2016. To try and claim the line was the problem is total ignorance.

Buffalo Barbarian Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 @salsports Bills targeting 2-3 players but know none may be there when they select, so have had solid "just in case" talks with teams below 10....... ..those deals would also be contingent on those other teams' target being there, of course. But wheels are in motion if that's the case..2/ ...If 1 of those Bills targets gets past 5-6, they are willing to move up a few spots, but only if cost is right. 3/... I don't know the 2-3 players but educated guess based on discussions I've had leads me to Adams/Hooker being 2 of them.. 4/4 Get Whaley out of there, trade up !? no thanks, can get good players latter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
