KRT88 Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Not t a fan of pick! Guy projects as a guard and really struggled against tougher D1 opponents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papazoid Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 (edited) there was this player named Cordy Glenn who everyone said projected as a guard. he turned out as an alright LT then going back a lil further there was this TE named Jason Peters he turned out as a pretty good LT Edited April 29, 2017 by papazoid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 So we targeted Dawkins...must have if we used 2 5th rounders to move up to get a guy who admittedly needs coaching to even make the team. He has little O line experience. He is not a Miller. Whaley should be fired for this. Why would you say he has little O line experience? He played three straight years at LT, as much as 90% of draft picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don't stop billievein Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 (edited) 3 starters. That's good enough for this draft. Now play a few lottery tickets tomorrow and be done. Still desperately need LBs but can't plug all the holes in a single draft. In mcd's Defense they play nickel 75%of the time which will require more DBs and not LBs. don't be surprised if they take a S or a CB before a LB on day 3.

BillsFan17 Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 In my mind the Bills came in with the following needs. CB 2 Nickel CB WR 2 WR 3 OLB RT Safety The Bills first three picks are looking to fill needs at RT, CB2, and WR2. Not only did the Bills get those three positions of need but they also added an extra 1st round pick next year. Even though they only have a handful of picks remaining I think the team in terms of philsophy, player value relative to perception, and setting themselves up for the future did a great job in this draft. They got 3 players at fairly good value in 3 positions of significant need all while pocketing a future 1st round pick. Now who knows how these three players will actually play and how much they can and will contribute for this upcoming season. But it is clear that the people doing the drafting know where the weaknesses on the roster are and brought in players to sure up those weaknesses while not really reaching. Did we cut Darby?

YoloinOhio Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Didn't know Henderson had suspension time left. Seems like he served a lot of time last yr. A couple of yrs ago the Viikings wanted to trade for Henderson but it was only like a 6th rounder.yeah he's on a 10 gamer and has 5 remaining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Dawkins is probably my favorite pick so far. Love our OL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jokeman Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Seems like a good pick. We have a lot of tackles on the roster, I wonder if they'll trade Kojo or Henderson ?Kojo our primary backup swing OT. Henderson is suspended for first 5 games and might be as good as gone aka cut.

smuvtalker Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 He will only be playing 2 at a time 75% of the time. 60 percent of the time, he'll work every time.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucci Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Seems like a good pick. We have a lot of tackles on the roster, I wonder if they'll trade Kojo or Henderson ?

As far as receivers, I think we are set now. We needed a #2 option, which Jones fills. Holmes and Brown are good options as 3 and 4 and an upgrade over what we had there last year. I agree with the rest. Would love to see some defensive depth added with today's picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ittakestime Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 I really hate this pick. If you are going to spend a 3rd and two high 5ths on a guy, you better be damn sure the guy is starting at a position of need. McDormett isn't even sure if he is a tackle, and the more I read on his weaknesses vs real competition, I struggle to see how he is an impact Day 1 player. Really think we will end up with a back up guard. A very high price for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said - I think you're too down on the player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixxxer Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 http://draftbreakdown.com/players/dion-dawkins/ I like this pick, he either starts at RT or he becomes Incognito's succesor at LG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
