Mark92 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 I don't normally watch many Ohio State games but I plan on watching tonight's primetime game just to get a look at Nick Bosa. Anyone else? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twist_to_open Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 I would have no doubt, based on our very early projected drafting order that McDermott would grab him up. But seeing how we got our QB last draft I would like to see Beane trade down and build the trenches with several picks. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills Fan of St Augustine Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 I really hope the Bills turn it around and contend for a playoff spot, but I really can't see that happening for a while. A top 5 pick is quite likely. We have our QB and now need to build at the line of scrimmage on both sides of the the ball. No more high round DBs, WRs, etc until this gets fixed. RBs can't run without holes, QBs can't throw without time. DBs can't cover all day. It will take a couple years. Trade out of top 5 and stockpile later rounds and later years. Talented OL are tough to find in FA.. Draft OL and sign DL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Tuesday Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Agree they should slide out of the top 3 to accumulate picks, if at all possible. They need to come out of the first three rounds with help at pass rush, CB, WR and o-line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with everything except we should absolutely take a high round WR within the next two drafts...as long as they do their homework and get the right guy. When you get a guy with an arm like Allen you owe it to him to go out and find the next AJ Green or Julio Jones 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark92 Posted September 15, 2018 Author Share Posted September 15, 2018 It should be an interesting off-season no matter how this season goes. The 90 mil of cap space and probably a top 10 pick. The only thing I don't like is that the JETS also have a ton of cap space so they seem to be a step ahead of us. Ugh..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuckyBoys Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 There are some good young trench players in FA They have money to make a few long term FA investments and dont have to do it all in the draft Just make sure they continue to add several quality grade starters each draft. Its well worth a top 5 pick to get a elite LT/pass rusher/shut down corner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 (edited) If you are watching the Ohio State game there are a few others to keep an eye on that haven’t been mentioned yet. Parris Campbell plays the Percy Harvin role in Meyer’s offense. He’s an explosive playmaker when the ball is in his hands. Kendall Sheffield is a JUCO transfer CB. He is a former 5 star and is probably next in the list of great OSU corners. Isiah Prince is another OL that was a high end recruit that will be on an NFL OL. Mike Weber, Johnnie Dixon & Austin Mack are a few more skill players that will play at the next level. There are some younger guys too that aren’t eligible yet that will be great pros (Chase Young especially). Also, I strongly, strongly encourage those of you that don’t follow college football to check out the college football forum. There is a lot of good conversation from people that pay close attention.

I’d have to think they see rare pass rushers at the top of the draft. Sign 2 mid tier vet offensive line, a blue collar cb, and a good WR allowing a more bpa approach after a rusher at 1. Depth literally everywhere would be helpful at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills would still get Bosa or Oliver and then pick again at 33, 35, 65 & 67. You could start the draft with something like: - Bosa/Oliver - N’Keal Harry - Trey Adams - Michael Dieter - Parris Campbell That would give you the pass rusher, a starting OT, a starting OG, a number 1 WR, and a slot type of weapon. You’d still have 2 4ths, 2 5ths, a 6th and a 7th. You can use that collateral to move around the draft board to get a guy or 2 that you want (ie if you need to get back into the late 1st).

H2o Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Hakeem Butler looking like A.J. Green against Oklahoma right now. A 6'6" 225lb WR from Iowa St. who has good speed, runs solid routes, has good body control, runs with physicality after the catch, and wins pretty much every 50/50 ball.

Teams don't often let good OL walk these days unless they need a QB. Teams don’t let any good players go anymore. It isn’t just OL.If they aren’t going to re-sign them they trade them. With the cap constantly escalating teams let go of solid players that other teams value more (like Robert Woods). You need to draft 2 starting OL and 2 starting WR in the upcoming draft. You need to sign a decent player at each position as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't disagree with you but b/c that is how they view it, doesn't mean it is correct. I'm not going to die on this mountain right now, b/c we have no idea what Allen is going to look like this year and beyond. But these guys will protect "their guy" (Allen) and their jobs long before they will acquire a second top QB prospect for the good of the team. That is for sure. I'm thinking about the team; they are thinking about their jobs and reputation. The sad part is we have a solid shot at a top 3 pick this year and that is the time to get a QB. If the current Allen/McBeane cycle runs its course and washes out in a few years we'll be right back to taking a QB anyway, only at a time when we aren't picking in the top 3.
