LB corp. has the chance to be the best in the league in a year or two with Edmunds, White and Milano. And then draft WR in Round 2. 2. J. Williams (OL) Alabama. Don't see him lasting until 9.

Unless multiple QB's get highly coveted in the pre-draft process I don't see the Bills having a talent at pick 9 that they wouldn't want but other teams would be willing to trade up for. So I think more than likely the team is stuck at pick 9 and will have to take the best player available. That being said if I have my choice of positions to pick it would be RT. Ideally I think WR is the teams biggest need but there isn't a player worth taking at 9 at the position. More realistically at RT would fit the teams second biggest need on offense and be a mighty fine way to add more talent around Allen via the draft. At pick 41 the team can take a WR to complement the existing talent (I also would want a vet WR, I am not going to be fooled by Zay and Foster just yet.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they didn’t you’d see teams take multiple QB’s high Its not necessarily a fallacy but it is something that gets overstated. Often times the highest player on the board will not be taken if the position doesn't fit need simply because the second best player on the board is in a position of need. The draft is about value and if you are drafting 9 and you have the 7th and 9th best player on your board still available but the player that is ranked 7th isn't at a position of need and the 9th best player is then teams will take the player ranked 9th. Its splitting hairs in terms of talent level and you want the player that will help your team more. Now if the choice is between the 7th best player on the board who isn't at a position of need and the 14th that is then you take the higher ranked player. So its value vs. need and you weigh value more but its not the be all end all. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wppete Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 (edited) O-Line and speedy WRs. I would like to draft Johnah Williams and try and trade for John Ross from Cincinnati if possible. Trade a 4th for him, he hasn’t done much in Cincinnati and I think with his speed he needs to play with a strong arm QB and take the top off a Defense.

I don’t think so. Its not 100% either way. Some teams may lean more towards need, others may lean towards BPA regardless of position. A team like the bills with holes everywhere should be BPA regardless of position. And you could argue, using your example, that the Giants drafted BPA available last season by drafting Barkley. They needed a QB and look at how many were available to them yet they still went with BPA in Barkley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
