LaDexter Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Clearly, not only is the Draft order not set, but the "guru" boards will change too. Getting a great OLT with the First isn't a bad idea whether it is at 1 or 15. Rookie QBs need them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostbitmic Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 If for some strange reason the Bills did get the #1 pick, don't you have to at least threaten to draft the top QB ? If you do, QB needy teams will trade the farm to move up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do some homework. Math and common sense are hard for some people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say this that the Bills do have the worst QB situation in the league and aren't very talented overall on the offensive side of the football. That being said the defense has top 10 potential. I am not sure the Bills will be bad enough for a top 5 pick unless injuries crush the team. But I do think that this team will likely be a 5-7 win team. As good as the defense could be the offense could be worse. That's not to say that I am not optimistic about the teams future. But rather that 2018 is a transitional year. There was significant draft capital given up to trade up for Allen (Glenn and picks 53 and 56) and the front office is eating a lot of dead cap this year to pay for the sins of the previous administration as well as some of their own doing (Wood extension.) But the foundational pieces are there at many key positions and the team will have a windfall of cap space to restructure the roster as needed in 2019 while having a shot at a long-term franchise QB. But 2018 my optimism is not there. The O-line, QB and skill position situations just aren't that good and on the defensive side of the ball the pass rush is a question mark. Overall I think the trades to get Allen, Edumonds and the dead cap have compromised the roster a bit too much for the team to be successful in 2018.

I don't place much stock in this but we couldn't be dumb enough to waste a #1 pick. Could we? Hi Bill! Great to see a thread from you! I DO believe we’ll suck this year -even if Allen starts from Game One and ‘The Process’ continues to nurture. Just don’t see enough talent yet to truly compete. But 1st Overall? IDK, but unless there’s a Bruce Smith, trade it away for many picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreggTX Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 1. If there is a player that stands head and shoulders above the rest, draft him. I don't care what position he plays. 2. #1 overall pick? We just don't know at this point, but I really doubt we'll have the 1st overall pick. Then again, this far out, we could come close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This may sound like hyperbole but I think that Devin White has a chance to be a HOFer. He is huge and runs a 4.4. He makes a zillion plays. White will be a star.

We’ve had Debo Jones, Beckwith, Duke Riley, and Kwon Alexander go into the league lately and are solid starters, and Devin White is the best of them all. Definitely the most disruptive for sure. Because he’s so athletic, he’d probably be our starting running back this year if he wasn’t so good at linebacker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that could make the pick worth more. This year was it worth trading up to #1 overall or even #2? Probably not as had a choice between 4 to 5 with none standing head and shoulders above the rest. Next year if only one good one, pick could be worth more. Or could be only one good one, but even the one isn't good enough to move up that far to get. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, a lot can happen in the next 10 months, but I don't think any of them will be very good. I don't think any of them will be worthy of a top 10 pick, although based on the importance of the position, some team may gamble. Hypothetically speaking, I think the best QB coming out next year would have been the 5th or 6th QB drafted this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But no, if we end up #1 we either want to jump back or take Bosa. (Way too early take) I've seen more than one mock projecting Ed Oliver to the Bills at #1 overall. That makes more sense. Lawrence would seem to be a one tech nose tackle. Buffalo signed Lotulelei to a multi-year deal, and the one technique is his position. The reports are that Harrison Phillips' skill set is more suited to one tech as well, even though he's on the light side for the position. Ed Oliver at least fits the 3 tech spot where Kyle Williams' retirement will create a huge hole. I'll be shocked if the Bills are picking #1 overall in any case.
