Boatdrinks Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 26 minutes ago, Bill_with_it said: A rookie defensive linemen will do nothing for this team until our linebacking core is capable of holding their own. Looking from the perspective of the last game if we had any wrs to catch the ball at all we are still in the game. A rookie defensive linemen even if it was Aaron Donald wouldnt have stopped the patriots from the running the ball down our throats because he isnt filling the three gaps the linebackers are supposed to. So while i agree we need a replacement for kyle in the last game a wr that can catch would have had a bigger impact. I haven’t diagnosed the running plays enough to place all the blame on the LBs. It seems a stretch to think the DL had a strong performance with that kind of yardage allowed on the ground. Still, the high first round is for elite talent. This year, it’s on the DL and the standard in that draft spot needs to be higher than a WR that can catch. Those guys will be available in lower spots than the top ten of round 1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is the fifth best wide receiver in this year's draft But in every latest mock draft the past few weeks the bills are all over him the experts think anyway let me know your thoughts I personally think the Bills should trade down to like pick 13 pick up a extra second and possibly a 5th and draft ol first..little should fall at 13th and with the 2 second round get a wr and a cb. Let me know your thoughts guys Dude has Randy Moss type athletic ability. Without the injuries he probably goes top 5. It would be a shock if he went round 2. Right now I’m hoping for Metcalf round 1 and Cajuste round two 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldTimeAFLGuy Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 (edited) ...anybody think McBeane would pull this trigger in the top 10 or does he trade down and look for an extra 2nd, targeting someone else?.....the "WR in the 1st ghost of Whaley past" is lurking for some to pounce on if McBeane follows suit......despite a new era..................

Buddo Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 The media 'draftnks' aren't always the brightest bulbs around. Kiper, for years, had us taking an OT in the first round, because we never replaced Jason Peters. A lot of those guys don't really watch the actual teams in the season, so aren't that well versed in where our needs are. They look at rankings and go off of that, a lot of the time. The D isn't ranked badly, so we won't go there to start with, would be a typical rationale, imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillnutinHouston Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I never understand why people get so wound up about mock drafts. It's even more head scratching when they do so before free agency. I might suggest more productive pursuits like, political punditry or video games.

DCOrange Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 The Bills need a WR and the mocks you happen to be seeing are people that are very high on him. The ESPN guys and WalterFootball and supposedly NFL teams don’t really see Metcalf as a first round prospect right now but there’s a long ways out still. This is a really deep WR class so my personal preference would be to go another route in the first round and take multiple WRs later but that’s just me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerJ Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 DK Metcalf has one of the better skill sets among receiver prospects to go along with the best combination of measurables. He's big and fast, runs good routes and catches the ball when he's targeted. There wouldn't be much question about him being a top prospect at WR if he'd been healthy all year. It's the neck injury that throws a wrench into the evaluation process. Whether or not Beane would actually take him that high depends on how much he trusts the medical evaluations and small sample size in productivity.

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I want a combination of WR/RB in rounds 1 and 2. I realize an early RB is the thing that will probably upset most Bills fans most,but we really need a guy. It has to be a guy that can be an every down back and I’d assume more often then not, you need to get that guy early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saban couldnt get the guy to play to potential but our coaches seem to be doing it. Foster saw few reps because these were so many better players on that offense. Remember, this years Alabama team is the first Saban team ever to rely more on the pass than running the football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
