Ha ha, I never thought it would happen. The price is absurd. I’m still fine trading up but would understand if they didn’t. I will throw out an alternative option just for fun: 12 - Roquan Smith 22 & 121 trade down with Pittsburgh picking up their 3rd, Martavus Bryant and a 2019 1st 53 - Harrison Phillips 56 - Rashaad Penny 65 - Tyrell Crosby 92 - Darius Leonard 97 - Luke Falk 166 - Antonio Calloway 187 - Brian Allen So, to recap the Bills would add: 2019 1st QB: Falk RB: Penny OL: Crosby and Allen WR: Bryant and Calloway DT: Phillips LB: Roquan and Leonard If they truly missed out on the opportunity to get one of the QBs this year, I really hope they take every opportunity to trade for additional 2019 picks.

BurpleBull Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 28 minutes ago, JohnC said: I don't like trading off for next year's first. The question I have regarding Falk is does he have a strong enough arm to make him a credible prospect? I wouldn't mind adding Bryant to a weak receiving corps but is he too undependable regarding his off-field habits? In general I like the infusion of talent to the roster. My ideal situation is that a qb such as Mayfield slides and we select him with our first pick and then select from our honey pot of picks. I have no problem maneuvering up and down to select more players or get another player in a trade. The irony is that the rebuilding Bills played beyond their talent level last year. That hurt us from a draft standpoint. It also demonstrated that in this embryonic stage of rebuilding that McDermott's vision on the type of players he wants on his roster works. Luke Falk plays kind of uninspired. He throws the ball nicely, was hyped as being "cerebral" at one point, I never saw him in that light. Mike Leach pulled him in a game in favor of Tyler Hilinski (freshman? --QB that recently committed suicide), because he just wouldn't pull the trigger and get the ball to his receivers. Would hate this draft if this happened just off of the Falk pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HLP Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I live in San Diego and saw him play on a regular basis. He is a very good all around back !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this team has so many holes on this team and they don't need to address RB this year. QB, 2 o lineman, 2 linebackers, WR are way bigger priorities for this team. I would wait one more year and then address the RB position Because it's needed. For me at least it has zero to do with McCoy's age but running styles. Penny is an east-west runner while we all know McCoy tries too hard to break ankles running laterally too much. It's a position that doesn't stick out on paper as a need but is vital that an RB with a different running style is blended with McCoy's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll play one out of 8 home games in crap weather and use that as a reason as to why we need to be able to run the ball. Nevermind the 4 or 5 games usually in good weather in September or October. We need to build our identity around the 1, maybe 2 crap games. I'll say though, I'm interested. I know nothing of him so I'll have to Google and YouTube him because all I read is positive stuff on him in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manther Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Depending who we have picked at the time of the third round and how many picks we have in the 3rd round I would be very interested in him. For example, if we had a QB and MLB. And then two picks in the 3rd and 4th. Preferably two thirds.... I would be happy with Penny and an O or DLinemen.

I have been wanting him for a while, in fact, I even stated a few times during the season on this board that I just felt like he was going to be a Buffalo Bill next year. Hopefully that feeling was right! I would actually be stoked if we took him as high as the 2nd. That won't be a popular statement around here (in terms of the 2nd), but the kid is that good and McCoy is not someone I expect Beane to keep past this year anyway. So go get the next Kareem Hunt in Penny. Edited March 23, 2018 by Alphadawg7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRT88 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Certainly he was an exceptionally productive college player but the mileage. He's taken a ton of hits. I could see him at pick 65 if we keep it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't have an issue with either one nor would I be mad at using a 2nd on either of them...and I think after the combine, Penny has locked himself in as a 2nd round pick, maybe even top half of the 2nd. I didnt see how Sony did, but I felt like he was likely a 2nd rounder too, but with the deep RB class could fall to the 3rd. But if his combine was as good as Penny's, then I would guess he's a guy you gotta get in the 2nd too now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
