With blazing speed and plenty of resilience, Calvin Ridley could be the next great @NFL WR from @AlabamaFTBL. http://www.nfl.com/labs/cfb247/calvin-ridley/calvin-ridley

PFF Mock Draft: https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/draft-pff-2018-nfl-mock-draft-1

 

14. BUFFALO BILLS WR Calvin Ridley, Alabama

Ridley may never put up huge numbers is Alabama’s run-heavy system, but his speed is evident on tape and he can be a downfield weapon at the next level. Buffalo has a receiving corps to overhaul and adding Ridley is a good place to start.

28. BUFFALO BILLS (FROM KANSAS CITY CHIEFS) Edge Marcus Davenport, UTSA

 

Perhaps a surprise name, but Davenport has great size at 6-foot-7, 255-pounds and he knows how to use it. After two productive years in 2015 and 2016, Davenport is currently No. 5 among edge rushers with an 89.6 overall grade and he’s second in the nation with a pass-rush productivity of 18.4 (eight sacks, five QB hits, 24 hurries on 162 rushes). The Bills add depth up front with Davenport.

Im wondering why they think we will end up about 8-8

I can see Ridley being really tough to cover from the slot. He get open easily and has great body control. Whoever drafts him will be getting a very good receiver.

26Buffalo Bills: Ronald Jones, RB, USC

The Bills have plenty of draft picks to utilize in 2018, and running back may not be the best use of their first-round pick. But it is time to start planning for the post-LeSean McCoy era. Jones reminds a lot of Melvin Gordon.

31 Buffalo Bills (via Chiefs): Dre’Mont Jones, DT, Ohio State

An unheralded star for the Ohio State defense, Jones’ motor, interior pressure and ability to finish opportunities in the backfield made a huge difference against Penn State. Bills head coach Sean McDermott has always valued defenders like that.

[thunderingsquid]

Jones looked great in all the OSU games I've seen so far, could stand to put some weight on though which isn't too tough a task.

Even being on the W Coast I don't know much about Jones from USC, though.  Seems awfully high to take an RB, would we be appeasing Ralph's ghost by taking a RB first?

i think this could very well be the direction taken in the draft.

If we go this route we should double up on O linemen in round two, based on what we saw on Thursday.

Agreed, I think front 7 and oline are the biggest priorities this offseason

26. Buffalo Bills: Dre’mont Jones, DT, Ohio State
Marcell Dareus is gone, and Kyle Williams is 34, and both Sean McDermott and Brandon Beane come from Carolina, where contenders were built around big defensive lines.

 

31. Buffalo Bills (from Kansas City): Damien Harris, RB, Alabama 
Shady McCoy has been invaluable but turns 30 in July. Buffalo could stand to take some of the burden off him, and the hard-running Harris—a rising name—would be a great complement.

[SoFFacet]

Dremont Jones is a name I've seen quite a bit. Seems like a good need/value match. 
 

No thanks on the Alabama RB. 

[thunderingsquid]

I ran in to a nice BPA draft today.  Are QBs falling these days?  Most mock drafts I see have 4 QBs in RD1.

I love Anthony Miller btw.  He is a great producer and good speed. 

[YoloinOhio]

I watched this kid play in HS. I could see McD loving his football character.

[Solomon Grundy]

Many of the mock drafts I've visited doesn't show the Bills drafting a QB. In the USA Today mock they have them passing on Lamar Jackson for James Washington. The Jags take Jackson with next pick.  The Bills cannot pass on a talent like Jackson/Mayfield in the draft.

[Dkollidas]

I wonder if Mayfield is a real option for them. I'm split because while he's had off-field issues, the kid has moxy & compete like you see in the good ones (Russel Wilson, DeShaun Watson had it as well at Clemson) while having some real arm talent. 

 

I think hell he'll end up as the best QB of the class and hope they can snag him with one of their 2nd's, or even one of their 1st's.
