LabattBlue Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I'll admit I'm not the Bills fanatic I used to be, but one of our starting OLB's is a situational pass rusher who was more of a ST guy prior to last season(Alexander) & on the other side, some guy named Ramon Humber. The guys behind them are even more of a mystery to me. I'm guessing OLB has to be addressed in the first 3 rounds, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston's #1 Bills Fan Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I think you need another Labatts Blue! Clearly (according to all the other threads), we will be taking a quarterback in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. That should do it! If one of them can play OLB, the better!

ajmac Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I agree totally. A guy like Hassan Reddick would be perfect if we could just trade down a couple of spots. We could still get him there and pick up and extra second or third rounder. There are a few options in the second round as well, but none IMO that could be a guaranteed starter like Reddick right away. Peppers might also be there at 10 if there are any QB surprises before us. He could also translate into a good WLB if he could add 10 lbs to his frame. We will find out soon!

boyst Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 There is next to no hope for a big role from a rookie coming our way that would contribute as it should. These guys everyone is obsessed with are one trick ponies. We needed aj Klein and I'm amazed we diddnt eben try. Our d will get ruined in 2017 and be more embarrassing than the days of Kelsey linebacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many teams are winning games consistently because of an OLB? This team has drafted for need and taken "safe" picks for years and it's gotten us nowhere. If the player grades are equal then I'd take a QB over an OLB every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we can do that early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 We will find a way to address it.....one thing Whaley has always been good at is finding linebackers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan17 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Foster or Reddick would be ideal picks at ten if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our d will get ruined in 2017 and be more embarrassing than the days of Kelsey linebacking. Last year was pretty embarrassing, having 2 running backs rush for 200+ yards a total of three times, including two games in the last quarter of the season we needed to win to stay in the proverbial hunt.

BuffaloHokie13 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Another option if they trade back into the 20's would be Zach Cunningham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNY315 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 (edited) I'd love Reddick, Foster or Cunningham but there are some options in later rounds I like Duke Riley Elijah Lee Anzalone (If he can stay healthy) to name a few Jarrad Davis as well but I read somewhere that he could creep into the 1st Edited April 19, 2017 by CNY315 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Murica Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 thanks Rex. Bradham would have been great in this d at Sam. Just saying Had a good season with Philly, even Ron Brooks was playing decent as a rotational CB until he got injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both excel in coverage and seem like great fits as wlb/nickel backer in this scheme. I'd be shocked if Davis made it to rd 2. I'd be ok with trading down into the late teens and drafting him there to be honest. He's a ball player and a good dude Edited April 19, 2017 by NewEra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderingsquid Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Would love to have WLB help but don't see it coming without sacrificing a pick to help with RB, OT, WR, TE or QB depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a ball player and a good dude I like JRM too, if he was healthier this past year I feel he'd be a 2nd rounder or early 3rd, instead he's a 5-7th round pick for a team that runs a 4-3...he's a pure Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
