I think this staff will protect Allen with veteran OL in FA, I'd say our 1st rounder will be a WR since there doesn't seem to be any WR1 options in FA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iccrewman112 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I would prioritize WR in round 1 and 3. Rounds 2 and 4 to the Oline, BPA for remaining picks. This is mainly due to the fact that the free agent class has more OL available, and not much in terms of WR. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwistofFate Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Quarterback, offensive line, Wr. Allen is clearly not the answer. Rookie or not, you don't go multiple games in the NFL with sub 100 yards passing in today's league. Allen was a mistake. Correct it by drafting another Qb and save us 3 wasted years. Worst case scenario we suck another year. Best case scenario we have a good back up in Allen or we get good trade bait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProcessYaDigg Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I'll give Josh Allen one full off season before I jump ship on him. Next draft I wouldn't worry about QB. The following year will be different if Josh doesn't progress next season. Hands down, he needs protection and a WR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victory Formation Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Trade down for sure, then I'd take the best center in the draft. I'd do whatever it takes to build a power run team, plug in the next Nick Mangold prospect and pound the ball. I think Dawkins and Mills have been acceptable, but all three spots inside are dire. A center would give Allen a clean pocket to step up in and hopefully open up some running lanes at the same time. I'd keep Bodine as our backup guy, everyone else on the interior can hit the road. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mabden Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Emmanuel Hall, WR, Missouri Height: 6-1. Weight: 196. Projected 40 Time: 4.40. Projected Round (2019): 1-3.10/6/18: On the year, Hall has 18 receptions for 430 yards and three touchdowns. However, he was shut out against Georgia while dealing with an injury that sapped him of his speed.8/28/18: According to NFL teams' preseason data provided by team sources, Hall checks in at 6-foot-1, 196 pounds. He is said to run the 40 in 4.40 seconds. His arms measure at 33.5 inches, his hands at 9.5 inches, and his wing span at 80.38 inches. Hall was a big-play threat for Missouri in 2017, as his speed to stretch the field was a real problem for defenses. He averaged 25 yards per reception with 817 yards and eight touchdowns coming on only 33 catches. Sources say Hall has motivation issues and needs to improve his hands due to his problem with dropped passes. That being said, they said he is very fast and there is no doubt he can run. Elgton Jenkins, C, Mississippi State Height: 6-4. Weight: 304. Projected 40 Time: 5.05. Projected Round (2019): 1-3.10/13/18: Jenkins has been a steady blocker in the middle of the Mississippi State offensive line this season. Overall, he had an impressive game against Auburn as Bulldogs quarterback Nick Fitzgerald had a lot of success running behind Jenkins. At the point of attack, Jenkins is quick to the second level and does a nice job of beating defenders to a spot to wall them off. He is quick, agile, and athletic on the inside with the ability to fire to the second level. Jenkins is very effective at double-team combo blocks with guards and is reliable to get gaps open with his double-team skills. In pass protection, Jenkins has a good anchor with the size to handle bull rushes. He may not grade out as a first-round pick, but he could be a good second-day selection who is a plug-and-play starter in the NFL.8/28/18: According to NFL teams' preseason data provided by team sources, Jenkins checks in at 6-foot-4, 304 pounds. He is said to run the 40 in a quick 5.05 seconds. His arms measure at 34.25 inches, his hands at 10.13 inches, and his wing span at 83.38 inches. Jenkins is a athletic and quick interior blocker who has been very impressive for the Bulldogs over the past two seasons. Sources who have done some advance work for the 2019 NFL Draft say that Jenkins has impressed them and possesses early-round potential. Jenkins has good size to be a starting center in the NFL, and it will be interesting to see how he handles the change in offense under the new Mississippi State coaching staff.Read more at http://walterfootball.com/draft2019C.php#qlu9jZwyVt95qIgl.99 After these two, BPA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefenseWins Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 First of all you simply CAN'T forget about FA. It comes before the NFL Draft and will play a big role in what the Bills plans for the draft turn out to be. From what we have seen so far this season the Bills appear to be in pretty good shape defensively and can supplement what they have via FA.It would be helpful to find out what Wyatt Teller brings to the table by giving him some playing time as the rest of this season winds down. I can't believe that anyone would seriously suggest drafting a RT with the #1 draft pick. Assuming Dawkins stays healthy he has to be regarded as the starting LT both now and for the foreseeable future. WR would seem to be the most likely pick at this point with the idea that the Bills can sign a couple of viable FA WR's between now and the draft.

atlbillsfan1975 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 BPA meets ‘need’ in round one. Bills need a wide receiver bad. I’d give them a pass if they went with a DE pass rusher. Hughes and Murphy are playing great now, not sure how long that will last. Round two again is BPA and ‘need’. Here though you widen needs to include oline. 3-5 is getting value. If you see a name still there that you believe can start, grab him. 6-7 prospect. Someone you watched tape on and see what he does right and what needs to be coached up. Take a chance. High reward low risk guys. Nobody is expecting a 6-7 rounder to play for a year or two. Get someone who had ideal size and speed/strength for the position from a small school who can hopefully adjust to NFL. This is kinda what I saw the Bills do last draft and think it’s working out pretty darn good. Rookies are going to be rookies. Where else in the world do you expect a guy that’s been on the job for 3 months to be as good as a 10 year employee? I’m glad all of us showed up to work, and on day one are employee of the year.

blacklabel Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 They're going to have to find some playmakers on offense and see what they can do in terms of interior OL. Vlad Ducasse actually hasn't been too bad. Dawkins is fine, Mills has actually been playing his best football as a Bill. Bodine and Miller routinely struggle. Simply drafting receivers isn't going to fix the offense, though. WR and OL are two positions that take the longest in terms of transition from college to pro. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for them drafting some receivers but I think they also need to get active in the trade market for offensive players.

Straight Hucklebuck Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 1. DE ** unless a good QB falls. 2. WR ** unless a good QB falls. 3. OLB 4. CB 5. TE 6. OG/C 7. OT 8. RB 9. CB/S 10. DT 11. WR Continue adding to the strength of this team, the defense. We failed to do so in 2014 when we took Watkins instead of Mack, coming off a 2013 defense where the Bills had 57 sacks on the year. If the QB (Allen) is not good, then a WR is a waste of a pick. WR do not drive wins in the NFL. I understand the offense is atrocious. But going out and selecting WR, WR, RB, OG, OT, WR, TE and then going WR, WR, RB, WR in Free Agency is too much. There are not enough footballs to go around, and this Coach is not going to turn the Bills into the LA Rams. As mush as I'd love to flush all the WRs and start over, it is not realistic to expect 3-4 rookies and old FA WRs to come in and be productive. The FA WR is shaping up to be a horrible class, unless there are cap cuts. I think the smart move would be to continue adding to this defense. Lorenzo Alexander is 35, Kyle Williams is 35. Take a WR early in the draft of course, interior OL is a problem and Jordan Mills has been our starting RT for 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eli Manning? He's as old as dirt. The league isn't even close to what it was when he started. Today's league is engineered for a qb to succeed. If you can't pass for 100 yards in multiple games, you don't belong here. Just look at Allen's stats from week two til now. It's gotten worse every week. Every week he looks worse and worse. He's incapable of doing simple things you'd expect a 1st rounder to do, that you MOVED UP FOR in the draft. I'll use Peterman for example. He came off the bench and went 4/6 for 40+ yards and a TD against Houston. If the supporting cast was issue for Allen, it would have been for Peterman. It wasn't. Aside from Petermans terrible interceptions, he's looked way better than Allen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCOrange Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I don't think anyone can really give an informed opinion of what to do with each pick until we know where the picks are, but I'd say the team's needs are, probably in this order: 1. #1 WR 2. #2 WR 3. O-Line, specifically interior 4. #2 CB 5. TE 6. RB 7. DT 8. DE 9. Backup QB 10. 3rd down RB Having said that, if Buffalo ends up picking top 2 and choose not to trade the pick, I'd probably take Bosa/Oliver.

PrimeTime101 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Generally teams that Get a QB, they wait 2 years. Give the kid 2 years to see what you do. You can judge Josh Allen by mistakes but he has not made enough mistakes for me to say now we can look past Josh Allen. I can list many QB's that struggle there first year and look fantastic the next year. The fact that our LG, C, RG are backup players at the best in this league says a lot. the fact that you add that on top of this being by FAR and I mean by FAR FAR FAR have the worst WR group added on top of this OL crew adds to it. Laughable for anyone to say we have to move past Josh Allen.. Now. That being said. Any OL position other then LT is a need right now. taking Free Agency out of the picture makes this even harder. #1 ANY OL but LT #2 ANY OL but LT #3 WR repeat to make a good offense we need an OL first then good players at WR.

PatsFanNH Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 If I was the Bills I’d want WR and/or TE for my 1st and 2nd round picks, I want a top level pass catchersfor my young QB.
