Billsfansinceday1 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Any draft that doesn’t include a QB is ignoring our greatest need unless there is a plan fo get one in FA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 21. Buffalo Bills – Maurice Hurst, DT, Michigan With the Senior Bowl coming up, I feel like Hurst has a big opportunity to separate himself as a top prospect with a good showing in Mobile. His pass rush production and discipline as a run defender shows that he can be an immediate impact player at the next level for Sean McDermott and this defense. Matt Williamson’s Reaction: There seem to be mixed opinions on Hurst, but the beauty here for Buffalo with this pick is that Hurst should provide immediate interior pass-rush help, a very valued commodity in today’s NFL. 22. Buffalo Bills (via KC) – Connor Williams, OT, Texas This is another BPA pick, but you can never have enough offensive linemen. Connor Williams is a mean, athletic offensive tackle who looked like a top prospect in 2016, but fell off this past season with poor showings and a knee injury. This could be a blessing for Buffalo if they can bottle up what he did his sophomore season for the Longhorns. Matt Williamson’s Reaction: Even though the Bills are not in desperate need at this position, quality offensive tackles don’t grow on trees. Buffalo has a ton of draft choices, so a luxury pick like this at a position that is tough to find is certainly acceptable. Heck, maybe they employ more six offensive linemen packages with the addition of Williams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffaloboyinATL Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 (edited) Not real familiar with New Arena but this is a pretty interesting mock draft. http://newarena.com/nfl/2018-nfl-mock-draft-1-0-who-will-your-favorite-team-select/?amxt=fbdt_avnt2 Here's what they have for the Bills: Christian Kirk WR Texas A&M As we saw in the playoff loss to the Jaguars, Buffalo is in desperate need of some skill within its receiver corps. Kelvin Benjamin’s conditioning is a huge question mark going forward. Apologies to Deonte Thompson, but he’s not anything more than a third receiver (at best). Kirk would offer Buffalo a true game-breaker. He can line up at any spot – whether it’s in the slot, or on the perimeter. Having elite ball skills and sublime quickness, Kirk is supremely slippery with the ball in his hands. His value is increased even further with terrific skill in the return game. Buffalo would do very well to land him at this point in the draft. Should the Bills move on from Tyrod Taylor, Mason Rudolph could get a look here. and: Christian Wilkins DT Clemson Kyle Williams has long been the heartbeat of the Bills’ franchise. His entire 11-year career has been played in Buffalo, and the 5-time Pro Bowler has been more than impactful both on and off the field. However, at 34 years of age, it may be time for Buffalo to draft his eventual replacement. Enter Wilkins – a versatile defender with an intriguing skill-set. The 6’4” 300-pounder can virtually play anywhere along the defensive front. Though a nice athlete, Wilkins also plays with a low center of gravity. This enables him to be solid against the run. With the big game experience he’s collected at Clemson, expect Wilkins to make an impact early in the NFL. By the way, the more I see of Christian Kirk, the more intrigued I am. I know WR is not a top priority, but damn he looks good and is a hell of a return guy too.

26CornerBlitz Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 PICK 21 Da'Ron Payne - DT, Alabama The Bills traded away Marcell Dareus in the fall and they need to add another difference-maker to their defensive front. PICK 22 Josh Jackson - CB, Iowa There is some concern about Jackson's deep speed, but he has the best ball skills in the entire draft class.

BUFFALO BILLS (9-7) LB Roquan Smith, Georgia The first linebacker off the board, Smith flies to the football against both the run and in coverage. He also has a knack for finishing plays as he’s been one of the surest tacklers in the country over the last two-plus years (only 16 missed tackles on 251 career attempts). He’s a perfect fit for Buffalo’s zone-heavy defensive scheme. 22. BUFFALO BILLS – FROM KANSAS CITY (10-6) Edge Marcus Davenport, UTSA The Bills go defense once again, adding Davenport, who projects as a classic base defensive end in a 4-3 scheme. He uses his massive 6-foot-7 frame well and he finished fourth overall among edge defenders with an 89.8 grade. He can move blockers in the run game and he picked up nine sacks, six QB hits and 34 hurries on only 257 rushes last season. Davenport is way too raw to take at 22 IMO.

Dkollidas Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 The thing I like about this year is that there will be running backs in the 3rd and 4th rounds that earn 2nd round grades. Penny is my guy there. The other thing i like is that the Bills have themselves set up with a lot of picks and can do a lot of things. They have a lot of areas to cover, but they will likely try to add some cheaper free agents for about 3-4 of those potentialstarting spots, and the draft for the rest. Theyve got a good hold of the cap now. They have to eat some this year, but after this year, and then in 2020, they’ll be ina really good position cap wise and could really be in nice shape if they continue solid development in the draft.

The Now Moment Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) What does everyone think of Tremaine Edmunds LB Virginia Tech.

He could fit what McD wants to do at OLB, but I don't see him as our MLB 'QB of the D' guy. If McD thinks he can get his MLB later then maybe he grabs Tremaine early to infuse athleticism into the position group. Tremaine needs to fill out his frame a bit at the next level, but I don't see that being an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see how it goes for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
