billsfan89 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I am not a fan of the trade up considering they now don't have a pick until 96. I like the position as this team had no LB's but dam this team is going to be seriously flawed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO he’s a better player than McGlinchy and Oakland would be better served taking him at 10 than trading back, and I think he’s a bigger and more athletic for his size prospect than R. Smith so I would take him over Smith at 8. Hes atop ten value IMO regardless of where he actually goes in the draft, even if I were to rate R. Smith ahead of him, they are both that good value wise.

The picks you mention will be about 1/12 That. You can't keep everyone bud. Dude please stop with that nonsense..........keeping those dudes would have STILL left the Bills with about $60M in cap space in 2019..............it wasn't about cap room AT ALL it was about the new GM/HC choosing much lesser talent rather than more complicated-to-manage young stars. They overcame the subsequently crippled passing game and run defense in other areas to finally get to the playoffs so kudos to them.......but people expecting to get back to the Marrone/Rex rosters with those measly picks in this weak draft were dreaming. IF they get back to that top 5-8 roster in the league kinda' level it's going to take a while..........or maybe they just try to win with more of a cast of role players.

HappyDays Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I love the pick. My fear is that this regime will be remembered for drafting great defensive players but never getting it right on offense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the Middle guy I expected them to take which makes me wonder if McD is thinking he will bulk up and play inside as he’s only 19. bulk up? He is over 250 lbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMO, they are looking towards 2020 and beyond, they kept they pucks next year and have a ton of cap space heading into the future, Edmunds was worth that trade and the future is very bright, it’s the darkest before dawn?

That would be my only concern is he might be a little soft (obviously he’s a monster but it’s a mentality to play LB). But it people who saw him more really like him so I’m feeling good about it.

BillsFan4 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I absolutely LOVE this pick! I couldn't be happier. I truly think we got the QB of our defense. Kid is only 19 too! Ceiling is sky high with him. I thought he was one of the best 2 LB in this draft (especially for McD's defense). I think he is going to make a huge difference for the Bills defense this year (and for years to come). For Mcdermott's defense to function at an elite level like it's capable of, it really needs a LB like him, who can play fast sideline to sideline, stop the run and defend the pass... and now we got him! I am beyond excited about this pick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not dark at all, but I think that the players available at pick 22 would have been really good and they still would have had pick 65 to find another player at a position of need. I think they got the best player available but I think it was smarter to just stay where you were and keep pick 65. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beane,I would expect , is going to sell some '19 &'20 picks to get back into the second round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My fear is not having a WR that can get open deep and track a football thrown 50 yards in the air when you have a QB who can flick it 75 yards off his back foot. Kind've a waste of the young QB's unique strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear you, I just think Edmunds is the best LB in the draft, his current ability is amazing and his ceiling is even higher, they’ll be competitive this year but the future is what this draft is about and Edmunds is going to be a long term stud at a key position in the Bills D, IMO. I believe it ouweighs the 65th and whomever they’d get at 22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen concerns me, but I’ll give them credit for having conviction and being bold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
