Siran Neal - B- 5. Wyatt Teller - A- 6. Ray Ray McCloud - B- 7. Austin Proehl - B I liked the draft. Allen wasn’t my guy but I am glad that they committed and didn’t overspend. Edmunds is a stud that had no business being around for the Bills. Someone called him Anthony Barr and thought that was a great comparison. I liked the Phillips pick. He isn’t exposive but can be a really good 1 technique. He’s a starter. Johnson fits this defense well and is at a position of need. Neal is that “new school” hybrid which is effective in today’s NFL. Teller is a mauler. Ray Ray is a playmaker and Proehl an athlete. It wasn’t a perfect draft but the Bills are better now than they were 3 days ago. If Allen pans out this is a turning point for the franchise. The draft is a B+ for me. I would have liked a deep speed guy and a RB but you can’t have everything. I am going to argue that Harrison Phillips is explosive, in fact according to Pat Kirwan he is the most explosive player in the draft. http://baltimoresportsandlife.com/kirwans-explosion-number-pass-rushers-2016-nfl-draft/ 70 is PK’s magical number, Bench Press, Vertical jump, broad jump in feet. 42 reps in bench 32 vert 8.5 feet in broad jump 82.5 is the highest number among the players at the combine. over 100 tackles on the Defensive line means he has a great feel for the game and a motor. Harrison Phillips is a A+.... (However) Phillip Harrison is my father, cause biological didn’t bother-Shaq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our fate remains I wish I had your magic power to see the future. To state the Bills have missed on a prospect before he has ever taken a snap at the NFL level is pure ignorance.

The Red King Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 I'll simplify this thread... Do you hate the Allen pick? Then you are 99% likely to say the entire draft sucked, and be very volatile about it, hurling insults at McBeane and saying such things like "Only the Bills would draft Allen at 7 when Rosen was on the board!" when it was earlier revealed the Cardinals were attempting to do just that and were upset the Bills beat them to it. You are also most likely to say we overspent to get to 7 while also being one of the same people who before the draft yelled and screamed that we needed to trade up for our QB "whatever the cost". I have thus far seen precious few people that hated the Allen pick that are actually calm and objective when discussing it. Most sound like McBeane punched their household pet.

For the record, can you dazzle us with your insight on this draft and on the picks that you feel we should have made. You obviously have quite a strong opinion of yourself seeing that you have far better insights than the NFL Network, our GM, our Coach, our entire Scouting Team.....so let's hear it.

The Red King Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 C'mon, like I said it's obvious. Many hold the view that if McBeane took Allen over Rosen he is utterly incompetent and unable to make good picks, ergo every pick of his must be a bad one and the Bills will, with 100% certainty, be terrible next year. And it will take a lot more then piddly things like "facts" and "logic" to sway them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FTR, I hope you're right, and I'm wrong... if you're right, Edmunds will be able to diagnose, close space, and be the most disruptive thing on the field. If, I'm right, he's not an NFL fit at ILB, and will require comprehensive instruction at the position... If I'm right, he'll often be late to the ball, and look completely lost out there. Guess we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
