BillsFan17 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Post dragt grades are fun, but are strictly furthering the entertainment. We all know the cliche of it takes years to evaluate a class. However, that being said, McDermott and the Bills came into the draft with one of the teams with the least amount of picks. Yet, McDermott turned that into a highly regarded draft and a first rounder next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mead107 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 It was a good draft. The naysayers and all our experts on our site give it a c or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) Mayock also really liked our draft....I trust him moreOld "great pick" Mayock? I love Mike January to March. The week around the draft he becomes an NFL company man... on about all the young men getting to live their dream. I only missed Rd4 out of the whole draft and Mayock loved every pick.

Jan-march he talks all about the player's flaws, but in draft day it is all about the positives. He knows his stuff, but what he says on draft day isn't very genuine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DriveFor1Outta5 Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Thanks. I'll console myself with that while Patrick Mahomes is having a confetti shower Don't worry about that. Andy Reid's game management skills will prevent the confetti shower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webster Guy Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Well we basically replaced Gilmore and Woods with our first two picks, and hopefully netted a starting RT, but he's a rookie so there will be some growing pains there. The only exciting thing that will get us ahead vs the 31 other teams also drafting good players is the extra 1st rounder, and we have no idea what that pick will be yet so....Uh... Thanks for the grade Mel, but let us know in 3 years what our grade is.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerseyBills Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Mayock also really liked our draft....I trust him moreYup.I've looked at several draft grading stories. Have yet to see a negative one on Buffalo. We nailed it. I think the most pessimistic of fans can agree on this. And we also get Ragland, and Lawson who I think is unfair to judie him off of last year, being that he missed the whole off season and was misused in a chaotic defensive scheme.

Thanks for the grade Mel, but let us know in 3 years what our grade is.... Ok. So what if we did? Woods was a hard worker but never amounted to all that much, mostly because of injuries. Gilmore was good. Gilmore would make a great play but he also made some terrible ones. I am glad i will not have to see Gilmore looking at the JumboTron acting like someone blew the coverage, besides him. Here is to hoping we get two young guys who step in and play as good as the two we lost. Here is to hoping we turn those two picks next year into a franchise QB for years to come. I will take a little Kiper love. Maybe he is right about the bills drafts. Since the Bills have not made the playoffs in forever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan17 Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 The talking heads are strictly entertainment. Folks taking it as anything more or anything less need to check them selves. Right now this feels like a bunch of house wives sitting around debating about what a Kardashian said on their show. IT'S ENTERTAINMENT! Take it for what it worth.

BuffalothruMyVeins Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I am not really a pessimistic person... but I didn't really care for our draft, but I see a lot of people talking highly of it. When I look at it, I see a meh CB, but that helped us get a 1st round pick next year so I take that as a win. I see a 3rd given up to secure a 2nd round WR who looks to have some talent, or at the very least, great production against poor competition. I see 3 picks given up to secure a guy who might be a backup OL, and at best part of a RT rotation where he might or might not be playing out of position. Then later on, it's two 220lb linebackers, and one late round QB, who by many accounts could be a solid backup, so that isn't a bad pickup in the 5th round. Am I missing something on these guys? I just feel really "meh" about this draft. Can you guys tell me why you loved the draft so much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
