swnybillsfan Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 is it possible to go 2 te sets say 70% of the time i think yes because its either two wr or fb any thoughts ? i like the idea of two TE sets. especially when the two TEs can block well and be a threat, not just an option, but a threat, in the passing game. I keep hearing very different things about Mahomes. I like him enough I'd be happy if we take a shot. i am with ya here. i would love for the team to take a stab at the most important position in the game. but i also like the "stocking the offensive weaponry cupboard" philosophy of taking a freakish TE in the first. i guess my dream scenario is this guy howard (or one of the stud WRs) in the first, and have Mahomes fall to us in the second. but i think with whaley in "win now" mode, qb may not be a priority.

#34fan Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Seriously, who the hell else could it be at 10??? A project QB??? -Oh great, becuz we've had excellent luck with those in recent history. TAKE HOWARD, DOUG!.... Your Franchise QB, ain't in this draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
End The Drought Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I wouldn't hate it but would much rather get him after trading down a few spots and grabbing some more picks. Lots of needs not enough picks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lau_chivo Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I personally, would rather get a CB in the 1st round. Lattimore or Tabor. Even trade down and get Sidney Jones possibly early in the 2nd round, now that he's hurt. If we were to get an offensive player in the 1st round, I would wait until the reports of the 40 times of Davis, and Williams before we make a decision. If it turns out that Howard has the fastest time between all three (highly likely), I would pick him over the other two. Too much of a mismatch with the size and speed, and not sure we get much of a 1st round value with Corey or Williams if most balls thrown their way are contested (most of the balls thrown to them in college were contested).

1billsfan Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 drafting a qb in the top 10 that is not worth a top 10 pick might also be the billsy thing to do The QB position is unlike any other in the NFL. Prescott, Carr and Wilson would have all been seen as huge reaches if they were drafted at #10. Because of this, when it comes to QBs, you have to throw the "group think" expert rankings out the window. If you believe that he has the skills to become a franchise QB, then being able to draft him at #10 is a steal considering the Browns, 49ers, Bears, and Jets all need franchise QBs.

buffuct Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 i'm starting to think howard is not a bad idea at 10 and then cb in 2nd and olb in 3rd maybe kelly after that ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domdab99 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Picking a QB at 10 in this draft is really stretching it. Picking Mahomes at 10 is spew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domdab99 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Howard is a game changer...I'd be fine with him, Hooker, Adams, or Foster at 10. If the top CB drops that far, fine with him, too. NOT a QB. Grab one in the third...maybe Webb. But not in the first round this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wppete Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 It's almost better to be an injured first round guy? At least you get that 5th year option. He's not that, but he might be a good option for us. Intriguing. I agree. I wonder if Butt will be there in the 3rd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRT88 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Everyone knows we have 6 picks right? The goal should be to trade back and pick up extra selections. Round 2 and 3 there is lots of value at WR, CD, TE, OL all positions of need. If we needed a DE or LB desperately, well this draft has limited depth, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be surprised if CB were in the mix. McD's Cover 3 doesn't require a big investment in the position. No need to go after a CB to play bail at 10.

No need to go after a CB to play bail at 10. Not sure I agree. This past season, McDermott's defense really took a tumble after losing Josh Norman. They dropped from 6th in total defense in 2015, to 21st this past year. Not saying the drop is directly related to Norman's departure, but I'm sure it played a major role.

BillsFan17 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 First round tight ends seldom if ever pan out. Especially ones in the top half of the first. You don't take a tight end high in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They dropped from second to tenth overall using football outsiders' defensive DVOA stat -- a much better measure than simple yards/pts. Regardless, they did slip a bit.

Formerly Allan in MD Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Think it would be a wasted pick since Taylor doesn't throw over the middle of the field. That's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Mahomes is worth the #10 pick, check this out... http://www.boltsfromtheblue.com/2017/2/10/14575816/patrick-mahomes-would-be-a-great-pick-at-7-for-the-chargers "He avoids the pressure, somehow stays on his feet, keeps his eyes downfield and casually launches it for 30 yards. I can think of a few NFL QBs who that reminds me of, and they're all future HoFs." These are the skills that separate the average and the great QBs. I'm pretty sure if it was as cut and dry as you say it is than he'd be the first pick in the draft and him lasting til 10 would never happen.
