RyanTalbotBills Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Hey everyone. I don't generally come on here to promote my work, but this is a bit different. With the draft just weeks away, we compiled a list of meetings the Bills have had with prospects. Official-30 visitors and private workouts are indicated. http://www.newyorkupstate.com/expo/erry-2018/04/b675f821924437/2018_nfl_draft_which_prospects.html 5 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadLandsMeanie Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 (edited) I was getting very worried because the O linemen aren't listed until towards the end. But it looks like they are talking to plenty of them. Also, no Darnold. Hmmm Edited April 7, 2018 by BadLandsMeanie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CuddyDark Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Nice. I disagree with Fred Warner being an outside player for them. I think he'd play in the middle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a ton of Allen fanboys on the board compared to the other QBs so I think it slipped through the cracks. I had posted it once before, but I saw this article didn’t have the private workout listed so thought I would contribute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said it doesn't matter who I would like to see them pick as they will get their guy. good to see their interest in Allen though. if it's smoke, it's some heavy smoke?

folz Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Thanks Ryan...great idea to lay it all out. So, by position, they have met with: 10 QBs 6 LBs 4 OTs 4 RBs 4 CBs 3 WRs 3 TEs 3 OGs 1 OC 1 DT 1 Safety 0 DEs I know visits don't necessarily mean anything, sometimes teams draft the only guy they didn't meet with, etc., and there are many more of the 30-pre draft visits to be announced, but I just thought I would speculate about what this list means for the Bills draft wants per position: Obviously, we all know they are looking at/need QB, LB, and WR...interesting, though, that they have met with 10 QBs but not Darnold...at least not yet. Do they not expect to have a chance at him? Are they not interested? Or are they trying to hide their interest? Good to see that they are looking at RT to replace Mills and Guards to replace Vlad and/or to groom behind Ritchie... Seems that they are interested in drafting a CB...maybe either to beat out or eventually take over for Vontaze, as he is probably only here for two years and health could be a question...maybe someone who could play slot in the meantime. And I'm a little surprised, but I guess they are also looking for a RB, maybe to eventually take over for Shady, and either a more dynamic TE than Clay, or someone that lets us move on from Clay next year. Options for dumping big salaries next year? They obviously feel comfortable now, with the recent signings, on the D-line and at Center and Safety. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1st Ammendment NoMas Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 (edited) thanks, (promote away!) This is a great list. Good to know the Bills are doing there homework and also understand where we are weak. Surprisingly, only 3 WR so far. I would have thought they'd see this as another problem area to upgrade. I do like this list and many of these guys would look great in a Bills uni. Edited April 8, 2018 by BillsRdue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
