Can you imagine the stuff that would be flying around here if we drafted this kid? http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/20105594/mike-williams-los-angeles-chargers-need-surgery Was just about to post this. It would have been holy heel here on TSW if he was the pick and missed the entire season. It would have been Whaley's fault of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Word on the street is that the Bills loved Corey Davis and were high on John Ross. Mike Williams wasn't their guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) Does the Clemson Tiger curse continue? Hopkins has been pretty good hasn't he?

C.Biscuit97 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Yeah, this doesn't make me happy. I feel terrible for the kid. He worked incredibly hard to overcome a major injury and who knows what his career will be now. Injuries just suck and it's why every player should get every penny they can while they can.

Mike Williams wasn't their guyI wasn't high on him either.I liked Davis a lot. I didn't have an opinion on Ross...I didn't think we would entertain him so I didn't do much research on him.

Blokestradamus Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Part of me is wondering if this stems from his neck fracture in any way. I just hope that he's careful with his body because back issues seldom disappear entirely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herb62 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I think we worked the draft great, two ones next year gives us a lot of flexibility. Man, what does Clemson do to these guys???

I think, as of today, the Mike Williams from Buffalo was the best of the group. Fat Mike the OL and Fat Mike the WR were early picks along with back injury Mike.

TheElectricCompany Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 We passed on two potential franchise QBs with our pick. I don't think we were running to the table with a WRs name on that card under any circumstance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 (edited) I must be in the minority, but I really like this player and think he will be a very successful pro. Nothing against any of the other WRs in the draft, including our own Zay who I'm very bullish on as well. But no one did it vs tougher competition than my man Mike.

Your work is without compare Poirot We passed on two potential franchise QBs with our pick. I don't think we were running to the table with a WRs name on that card under any circumstance. btw love your avatar. how could you not like the kid? I must be in the minority, but I really like this player and think he will be a very successful pro. Nothing against any of the other WRs in the draft, including our own Zay who I'm very bullish on as well. But no one did it vs tougher competition than my man Mike. Wrs are becoming the darlings of the draft. We all have a favorite or two each year i bet. Zay who is now being Coached by his College Coach i think, might have one hell of an advantage. Regardless that he was drafted in the second. Glad to read you are bullish on him. We all should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 We passed on two potential franchise QBs with our pick.

Things might have been different had he still been there.As mentioned, Bills had Ross and Davis higher. Sounds like GM McD knows what's whatI'm fairly certain that the scouts and Whaley assembled the board. McDermott ultimately decided how we were going to use those assets but he's not the one that had Davis and Ross ahead of Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a link to that? Doesn't line up with the story that both KC and Mcdermott told, which is that the deal was discussed a week earlier. If you have a player circled, no way you make that deal ahead of time, unless you really thought he'd fall to the late 1st. Considering 3 WRs went in the top 9, it appears that teams , and not the NFL mock draft talking heads, were much higher on these players than anticipated.

No link, just info that LeRoi provided here and was confirmed elsewhere (from a couple of people). Teams always have plans A through Z. Corey Davis was the guy that they would have picked if available and they stayed at 10. Would they have done that with the trade down on the table? Maybe not, but he was their top target.
