Webster Guy Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 saw shaq on a ton of mocks last year to us. Im not sure where he is getting that opinion from but I see tons of mocks every year that get our pick right. The only guy in the top 20 most popular mocks that had us taking Shaq was the guy from Rotoworld (Josh somebody). I'm embarrassed to say I printed the chart last year and just looked at it. The average correct picks from the top dudes like roto, Peter king, mayock, kiper the killer, mcshay, collinsworth, SI is about 6 out of 32 correct picks (player and team) Go back to 2000 and start there with Eric Flowers and look at all out 1st rounders. Dareus was the only guy that wasnt a surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justoh Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Mocks are interesting and as someone else says just for fun. It is odd that so many think Williams is our guy, here is a list on the bills site of multiple bills mock picks. http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-1/Mock-Draft-Watch-50/531b9418-52de-4a72-9757-2de896f18e77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuvian Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 WR at 1 is a luxury we can't afford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 IF they stay at 10, I do not think for one second they will take a WR. OJ Howard, maybe. But not a WR. Most likely it will be a defensive player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San-O Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 If there is nobody the really love at # 10, trade down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 (edited) WR at 1 is a luxury we can't afford ....agree 100%.....they're pinning their hopes on a healthy Sammy and backfilling with inexpensive FA pickups hoping either they shine or one of the kids still on the roster does.....Listenbee (WR) or Thomas (TE) come to mind......can't see spending MORE money or a 1st on receiving corp until TT demonstrates he can process the field in allotted time and find receivers open which has NOT happened so far IMO........

Hapless Bills Fan Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Really? A LOT of folks predicted the Bills would take Shaq last year. Like which mocks, Mannc? The closest I saw was Walter Football, which predicted we'd take Ragland at 19, not Shaq. NFL had us taking Rankins after Ragland went 1 pick ahead. I don't have ESPN Insider etc so I don't see some of the most popular - maybe some of those predicted Shaq? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarleyNY Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 WR at 1 is a luxury we can't afford ....agree 100%.....they're pinning their hopes on a healthy Sammy and backfilling with inexpensive FA pickups hoping either they shine or one of the kids still on the roster does.....Listenbee (WR) or Thomas (TE) come to mind......can't see spending MORE money or a 1st on receiving corp until TT demonstrates he can process the field in allotted time and find receivers open which has NOT happened so far IMO........ While I'm not lobbying for a WR at 10, I don't see how WR isn't a screaming need. Right now the Bills have the oft-(and currently-) injured Watkins, some JAGs and hope. It's a position that should be 3 deep at minimum in today's NFL so I'm incredibly concerned with the current WR corps. And if your rationale is that Taylor can't get the ball out to the WRs anyway, then you've hit upon a totally different problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely it will be a defensive player. I think there will be two or three DBs off the board before 10. Are there any LBs worth taking at 10? Im starting to warm up to the idea of Howard.

I meant here on TSW. My recollection is that Shaq was a very popular pre-draft pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphadawg7 Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 WR unit is just as thin as the LB and DB units, so not sure what your point is. This^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 I think Foster will go to Chargers at 7. I don't think we will take a LB in the 1st unless we trade down. I like the idea of Reddick in this defense but am not sold of his value at 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
