hondo in seattle Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 (edited) We got the #2 (according to PFF coverage grades) corner in the draft - a big need for us.  And we got an extra 1st round pick and 3rd round pick.  I call it a good day.  Here's PFF's summary:  White’s coverage grade of 89.8 was the second-highest coverage grade for all draft eligible CBs. White allowed a completion percentage of 41.7 percent on throws into his coverage in 2016. He missed just five tackles in 2016, ranking in the top 21 percent of all cornerbacks with at least 500 defensive snaps. With the loss of Stephon Gilmore in free agency, White is an important addition that is versatile enough to play both the slot and on the outside. https://www.profootballfocus.com/draft-bills-select-tredavious-white-with-27th-overall-pick/ Edited April 28, 2017 by hondo in seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I dont think hes doing anything in the room now: There were several instances of Bills coach Sean McDermott using the word "I" instead of "we" when describing Buffalo's decisions in the draft Thursday night. McDermott at one point corrected himself by saying "we," but it served as another sign that GM Doug Whaley's role is diminished. Whaley has not spoken to reporters since the Senior Bowl in January.

You think every one of the players didn't play with other talented people on the roster around them? To act like White had success because Adams bailed him out is absurd. The kid can ball.

Look I want saying he is incapable of playing cb, I wasinfering that maybe he isnt as good as his stats state because well he had the best safety in college football covering his back. Kind if like our dline a few years ago awesome when playing together but you put another player next to them and well not so much.

Big Blitz Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 We were going to take Lattimore at 10---which we would have loved...most of us myself included.  But we may have got the better of the two in White. Conley wasn't happening. And btw I'd draft another corner in round 2. King?   In addition we get a 3rd tomorrow and an extra first next year (the Chiefs are not making the playoffs---That pick will be 15-17 at worst.)   I think I'm good.  Sent from my SM-G928V using Tapatalk   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan692 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I mean he will have larger impact then last years number one =P Â Marketable improvement IMO.

Jerry Jabber Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Not only that, but we're the kings of taking DBs and RBs in the first. How's that gameplan working out? Â My point exactly! A first round pick should be used on a player that a team can build around and that has the potential to be on your team for 10+ years, vice four or five. Constantly recycling first round draft picks every four to five years has gotten the Bills nowhere except draft in the same spots (on average between 8-13).

Jamie Muellers Ghost Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Pretty simple, this coach is not drafting you unless your a boy scout. Â I don't dislike White but I cannot understand passing on Foster. LB a huge hole on this team and one of the hardest positions to fill in FA. It could have been one amazing night lucking into Foster. Instead we got a pick at 27 that should be around 27 - so I guess that 3rd round pick better be real good. We're going to watch Foster for a very long time with nothing but regret. I now feel like McDermott is in over his head a little bit on the personnel side. He's a good coach and I'm happy to have him but he needs to learn to be a head coach first - instead of taking on everything. Â He'll learn a valuable lesson tonight when he sees he got in his own way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde Smith Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 It's funny that people was saying the same thing about Darby a couple years ago. "He sucks" "I don't know who he is" "bad pick". Let the man play, we got a team leader and he plays special teams also. I'm happy with the pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yungmack Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Such a reach. Could of got a better corner in 2nd or 3rd even Stats say he was the toughest CB to complete a pass against in college. Intelligent, not mouthy or flashy, no character questions, and possibly the best CB the Bills have had in years. Some "reach." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
